- the lens surface cutting apparatus calculates the average curvature C (C, C) of the lens surface 5 to be covered by the average curvature calculation unit 34, and the average curvature C Screws corresponding to
- the spiral machining locus 4 is calculated by the spiral machining locus calculator 35. For this reason, in the spiral processing locus 4, the adjacent spiral intervals P on the lens surface 5 to be processed are equally spaced, and the adjacent spiral interval d on the XY projection plane 100 is directed from the lens outer periphery toward the lens center.
- the machining locus increases continuously as the force increases. As a result, the surface roughness of the central portion and the peripheral portion of the spectacle lens 1 is corrected, and the entire lens surface can be made uniform. Accordingly, the polishing amount at the center portion and the outer peripheral edge portion during polishing becomes equal, and the polishing time can be shortened. Further, if the polishing amount is uniform over the entire surface, an optical surface close to a desired surface shape can be obtained in which the error between the surface shape obtained by cutting and the surface shape after polishing is small.
- the measurements in Fig. 10 and Fig. 14 are the same as the sample lens material, outer diameter, surface shape, cutting device, cutting amount, cutting blade, polishing time, polishing method, abrasive, except that the spiral processing locus is different.
- Polishing pad, polishing tool, polishing equipment, polishing temperature, polishing pressure, and lens surface measurement range are all the same.
- the lens to be processed of the spectacle lens 1 is processed.
- the average curvature C is calculated based only on the surface shape of the curved surface 5 (the same applies to the lens surface 3), and the helical processing locus 4 corresponding to the average curvature C is calculated, whereby the screw on the processed lens surface 5 is calculated.
- the polishing removal amount characteristic of the polishing apparatus is not necessarily constant at each part of the lens surface. Normally, the removal amount is maximum at the central portion as shown in FIG. 11, and is truncated at the peripheral portion. With a Gaussian distribution of For this reason, when the lens surface is polished using a polishing apparatus having such a polishing removal amount characteristic, polishing of the central portion is first completed at the initial stage of polishing. However, since the amount of polishing at the peripheral portion is not sufficient, polishing is continued. Then, even during this period, the lens center portion continues to be polished, and the amount of polishing removal at the center portion increases.
- the surface roughness of the lens surface 2 be a surface roughness corresponding to the polishing removal amount characteristic, rather than making the surface roughness uniform over the entire surface.
- the spiral machining locus 53 (see FIG. 12) corresponding to the polishing removal amount characteristic of the polishing apparatus is calculated and cut in advance. Specifically, when the polishing removal amount characteristic of the polishing apparatus used in the subsequent process exhibits a truncated Gaussian distribution 51 shown in FIG. 11, both the surface shape of the lens surface to be processed and the polishing removal amount characteristic are shown. Based on the above, the average curvature of the lens surface to be processed is calculated. Then, a helical machining locus 53 corresponding to the average curvature is calculated, and the cutting tool surface is controlled based on the helical carriage locus 53 to cut the covered lens surface.
- the spiral interval P on the lens surface to be processed of the spiral processing locus 53 is different from the processing method according to the first embodiment as shown in FIG.
- the surface roughness after cutting is not uniform, and the surface roughness is the smallest at the outer peripheral edge where the surface roughness is the roughest at the center.
- the polishing removal amount is maximum at the center and minimum at the outer peripheral edge. It becomes.
- the helical machining locus 53 is calculated using the above equations (1) and (2).
- the polishing removal characteristics vary depending on the polishing method, polishing agent, polishing pressure, polishing pad, lens material, and so on, so experimentally measure them beforehand.
- an average curvature radius R (FIG. 11) of the curve of the polishing removal amount characteristic is calculated.
- R the average curvature radius
- the curvature (C) of the desired lens surface shape is 5D.
- reference numeral 52 indicates a gentle convex virtual curved surface when the subject lens surface 5 is concave
- reference numeral 54 indicates a virtual curved surface of the lens surface 3 to be processed when convex.
- Such virtual curved surfaces 52 and 54 have a radius of curvature larger than the radius of curvature of the actual lens surface 5, and the thickness of the lens is apparently increased. For this reason, the helical interval (d) also changes and becomes wider as the directional force is applied to the center of the lens.
- the helical shape calculated by the equations (4) and (5) is the helical caloric locus 53 considering the polishing removal amount characteristic.
- this spiral machining locus 53 is a locus in which the helical interval continuously increases as it moves toward the center where the outer peripheral edge is narrower on the lens surface 54 to be narrowed. .
- the amount of polishing removal is maximized at the center and minimized at the outer peripheral edge.
- the maximum value of the polishing removal amount is in the range of 1 to 20 / ⁇ ⁇ , preferably 5 to 15 m. In FIG. 11, the maximum polishing removal amount is 4.7 / zm.
- the polishing removal amount characteristic exhibits the truncated Gaussian distribution 51 shown in FIG. 11, the polishing removal amount is maximum in the central portion, and the peripheral portion.
- the surface to be covered 54 can be easily polished because the surface roughness of the peripheral portion is small. Therefore, the entire polishing amount is uniform and the polishing time can be shortened. Furthermore, since the amount of polishing removal of the lens surface 54 to be processed can be reduced, the surface shape after cutting can be maintained, and the shape error due to polishing can be reduced.
- the power shown as an example applied to a progressive multifocal lens is not limited to this spectacle lens composed of a general spherical lens. Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied. In that case, replace the average curvature with the curvature.
- the cutting is performed in a spiral shape by directing the force from the outer periphery of the lens toward the center.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the optical surface is not limited thereto. Depending on the radius of curvature of a few, it may be cut in a spiral from the center to the outer periphery of the lens.
