Abstract: An apparatus for loading and accumulating semi-finished plate-like pieces, in particular lenses, includes a support structure and a piece warehouse which is associated with the support structure for moving the pieces from a piece inlet portion to a piece outlet portion along a warehouse axis. The warehouse includes augers extending parallel to the warehouse axis along respective longitudinal axes and are arranged around the warehouse axis to jointly delimit transverse seats with respect to the warehouse axis. Each seat accommodates a semi-finished plate-like piece. A system coordinates positioning of the augers for varying a distance of each auger from the warehouse axis to vary a radial dimension of the transverse seats. A system rotates each auger around the relevant longitudinal axis in a synchronized manner to cause movement of the pieces parallel to the warehouse axis from the inlet portion to the outlet portion.

Abstract: A machine for processing lenses includes an apparatus for loading and storing raw lenses having a lens exit portion, a lens cutting system including a first lens housing seat and a first spindle-holder head for a cutting tool positionable at the first seat by a first articulated arm, a lens drilling-milling-engraving system including a second lens housing seat and a second spindle-holder head for a drilling-milling-engraving tool, a processed lens unloading zone, a lens transfer apparatus, and a management and control unit. The lens exit portion, the first and second lens housing seats, and the processed lens unloading zone constitute four operating stations. The lens transfer apparatus includes a turret having four suction-cup seats to receive a single lens. A first motor rotates the turret to cyclically bring each transport seat in sequence to the four operating stations.
