摘要:
In an eyeglass lens grinding apparatus, a material and a process condition of an eyeglass lens to be processed is input. A grinding wheel for grinding the lens is rotated at a variable rotational speed. That is, the lens is processed while variably changing the rotational speed of the grinding wheel in accordance with a preset value of the rotational speed of the grinding wheel based on the input material or a process condition of the lens. The processing, time period can be shortened and the quality of the process face can be improved.

A subject lens is held by two chuck shafts, which are rotated synchronously by pulse motors during a grinding operation. Chamfering and other grinding wheels are mounted on a rotary shaft of a lens grinding part. A desired grinding wheel for each processing is selected by moving the rotary shaft vertically. In the case of rough processing, the rotary shaft is moved by a pulse motor toward the center of the chuck shafts based on lens frame shape data. In the case of chamfering, the rotary shaft is moved toward the center of the chuck shafts as well as vertically based on chamfering data. To produce part of the chamfering data, a lens measuring section measures the shapes of the front and rear surfaces of the subject lens.

A lens grinding apparatus is improved to ensure that the angular edge portions of an eyeglass lens are easily ground to a desired shape. The improved lens grinding apparatus includes an input device for entering data on the processing shape of the lens, a detector for detecting the edge position of the lens on the basis of the entered shape data, a first calculator for determining processing data on the rough and fine processings of the lens on the basis of the detected edge position and the entered shape data, an angular edge portion processor which has a grinding wheel to process the angular edge portions of the finely processed lens and which moves the shaft of said grinding wheel relative to a shaft holding the lens, a second calculator which sets a plurality of zones of the lens and which performs different calculations in different zones such that the amount of processing the angular edge portions is determined in correspondence with the radius vector angle of the lens, and a controller for controlling the processing of the lens on the basis of the results of calculation by said first and second calculators.

A subject lens is held by two chuck shafts, which are rotated synchronously by pulse motors during a grinding operation. A group of grinding wheels are mounted on each of rotary shafts of right and left lens grinding parts. The rotary shafts are disposed on opposite sides of the chuck shafts. A desired grinding wheel for each processing is selected by moving the rotary shaft vertically. To grind the subject lens, the rotary shafts are moved independently by pulse motors toward the rotation axis of the chuck shafts based on lens frame shape data in the case of rough processing.

An eyeglass lens grinding machine, which is designed to effectively utilize the grinding capability of abrasive wheels so as to perform efficient grinding operations. The eyeglass lens grinding machine includes a lens rotating section which holds and rotates a lens to be processed, an abrasive wheel rotating section which rotates an abrasive wheel for grinding the lens on its own axis, an abrasive wheel's rotational state detecting section which detects the state of rotation of the abrasive wheel caused by the abrasive wheel rotating section, and a rotation control section which variably changes the rotation of the lens rotating section on the basis of the result of the detection. The rotation control section issues a command to either stop or slow down the rotation of the lens if the load on the rotation of the abrasive wheel exceeds a predetermined reference level and issues a command to have the lens rotation return to the initial state if the load becomes lower than the reference level.
