Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for determining location of a lens machining tool (24) having an offset location according to a first direction (Y) smaller than a first predetermined threshold, comprising the steps of manufacturing a calibration piece (10) according to a predetermined theoretical geometry by using said lens machining tool for providing a at least partially annular groove in a main surface of said calibration piece, said at least partially annular groove being configured to form at least one sharp edge defining a slope discontinuity on said main surface; measuring a distance between said at least one sharp edge and a turning center of said calibration piece for providing data of geometrical characteristics of said calibration piece; and deducing from said measured data a location of said lens machining tool according to a second direction (X) distinct from the first direction.
