    摘要: A method for controlling a production line for the manufacture and/or packaging of contact lenses which production line simultaneous by processes at least two lots, the method comprising dividing at least a portion of the production line into a series of cells through which the contact lens pass sequentially, and providing a control system comprising at least three shifts registers each containing information about each of said cells, including: (a) a location shift register which indicates whether a cell should be empty or occupied, (b) a lot data shift register which is a non-binary shift register and contains manufacturing and/or prescription data about the contact lens which should be in the cell and (c) a condition shift register which provides an indication of the condition of the product in the cell, and simultaneously indexing all of said shift registers as a lens passes down the production line from one cell to the next cell.

    摘要: In a first aspect, the present invention provides an apparatus and method including a servo driven lens release head for releasing a cured lens in the dry state from the mold section in which it is adhered following mold release. The servo load parameters may be changed according to the lens type being processed. In a second aspect of the invention, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for retrieving the loosened lens from the mold section and transferring the lens to a lens inspection apparatus followed by either a lens rejection or transferring the passed lens to a receptacle for subsequent lens processing and packaging. The three substations of lens release, lens inspection and lens deposit are annularly spaced 120° from each other and three lenses may therefore be simultaneously processed through 120° incremental movement of three pick and place heads.

    摘要: A package assembly includes packages that are connected to a common sheet of lidstock. Various packages are separated from other packages by severing the lidstock between the packages. The packages are supported in depressions in a tray, and the depressions are tapered to facilitate severance of the lidstock.
