Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatic attachment of a finishing block to a lens, such as an ophthalmic lens.
  • a lens that has been properly cut, ground, polished and coated proceeds to a finishing operation of edging where the periphery of the lens is cut in an edging device, to conform a frame in which it is to be held.
  • a finishing block is attached to the lens at a location and orientation defined by reference features on the lens, which is used for the fixation of the lens within the edging device, keeping the lens orientation as required.
  • finishing blocks were attached to lenses manually. However, even for experienced and highly skilled lens makers, it was often difficult to manually attach the block to the lens in proper registration with the reference features.
  • An apparatus for ophthalmic lens blocking is known in the art, wherein an operator observing through a view port first positions the lens within the apparatus by manual aligning the reference features on the lens with an alignment pattern in the apparatus and, once the lens is properly positioned, the finishing block is attached to the lens at a location defined relative to the reference features.
  • the method comprises the following steps:
  • graphic images and optical characteristics of lenses are analyzed by a computer for finding the position of their reference features and for automatically attaching a finishing block to a lens in such a location and orientation relative to the reference features, as prescribed by the lens manufacturer or predetermined otherwise.
  • the reference features may be in the form of pre-printed marks indicating the location and orientation at which the finishing block is to be attached.
  • the finishing block mark may be in the optical center of a bifocal lens with the orientation of the finishing block being defined relative to the position of the bifocal segment of the lens.
  • the finishing block mark is known to be in the form of a printed fitting cross.
  • the reference features may be in the form of other marks or areas distinguishable when imaged, that are specific for different kinds of lenses and with respect to which the location and orientation of the finishing block is prescribed.
  • a specific area is its bifocal segment
  • hidden marks can be used.
  • mapping of at least one optical characteristic of the lens may be performed to derive the reference features therefrom, provided that the location and orientation of the finishing block relative to these signs have been prescribed.
  • optical power mapping enables determination of the optical center of the lens where its prism power value is zero and of the orientation of the cylinder axis passing therethrough.
  • the reference features may be a location where the prism power has a prescribed value and where the cylinder and prism axes have a prescribed mutual angular orientation.
  • a progressive lens which has no printed reference features, spherical and cylinder power maps may be obtained, whereby its optical center may be determined and the precise positions of the far and near vision points may be established according to the prescribed values and prescribed far and near inter-pupillary distances. All this will constitute the reference features of the progressive lens, based on which the location and orientation of the finishing block to be attached to the lens can be calculated, in accordance with an original prescription.
  • the apparatus comprises:
  • the reference features finder may comprise one or both of the imaging and mapping branches.
  • these branches may be arranged in one common set-up to graphically image or map the lens along one optical axis in either imaging or mapping mode of the apparatus, or rather these branches may be in the form of two separate imaging and mapping stations of the apparatus.
  • the imaging branch of the reference features finder may be any appropriate optics capable of providing graphic images in which printed or hidden reference features of a processed lens are clearly distinguishable. Such optics may be based on dark field or bright field lens illumination or it may be in the form of shadow imaging optics.
  • the mapping branch of the reference features finder may be any optics capable of mapping at least one of the following optical characteristics of a lens: spherical power, cylindrical power, cylinder axis, prism power, prism axis, coma, and any local lens characteristic. Maps obtained by such optics may also provide information regarding geometrical lens layout, bifocal segment layout, location of far and near vision points, etc.
  • the method and apparatus of the present invention cannot only serve for the automatic attachment of a finishing block to a lens but also may provide conventional mapping and lensmeter functions, with the possibility of printing out lenses' graphic images and optical maps.
  • the method and apparatus of the present invention may also be used for determining geometrical centers of lenses, finding lens edges and automatic lens-to-frame fitting
  • the apparatus of the present invention may be compact and portable and it can be placed on a table, workbench or other support and operated by a user while sitting. The user does not need to be particularly experienced.
  • the present invention is particularly useful for automated orienting and attaching a finishing block to a lens, the periphery of which needs to be cut and finished in an edging device. It should be understood, however that the invention is in no way limited to this particular application and can also be used to attach a holder or a surface block to a lens blank that is to be ground and polished.

  • the lens imaging optics is in the form of a self-compensating imaging shadowgraphy optical setup as described in EP 0 856 728, incorporated herein by reference.
  • the lens imaging optics has an illumination means in the form of a point source of radiation 31 providing suitable preferably wide divergence of radiation illuminating the lens A along the optical axis O. It is desirable that the point source of radiation 31 has minimal possible dimensions, whereby high resolution of measurements may be obtained.
  • the point source 31 may be in the form of a diode laser 32 with a focusing optics 33 and pinhole 34.

  • the processed lens A illuminated by the collimated incident radiation forms on the projecting screen 40 a shadow pattern. Distribution of brightness in the shadow pattern depends on the optical power of' the lens A and on local power and transparency deviations produced by the reference features of the lens. Since the camera lens 22 is in the optical coincidence with the point source of radiation 31, the rays forming the image of the lens A propagate along the same optical path as the incident rays illuminating the lens A.

The pattern may be in the form of number of regularly ordered points, lines or circles of known dimensions and at known mutual dispositions, concentric circular pattern with radial lines, staggered arranged squares, regular grid with highlighted origin lines or the like.
  • the mapping pattern 54 with its supporting plate 56 are moveably mounted on a slider 58 with a linear actuator 59 driven by a motor 60, providing their movement up and down along the axis Z.
  • This enables the apparatus to process lenses in a wide range of optical powers, so that the higher the power of a lens, the less the distance thereto from the mapping pattern 54.

  • each point of the pattern 54 is illuminated by a wide range of light rays from the diffusive illuminator 52, only those that are focused at the entrance pupil of the camera lens 22 will pass therethrough to the image acquisition device 20, producing thereby an image of each point of at least a portion of the pattern and, consequently, an optical power map of the lens A.
  • Ray tracing in this case is mathematically equivalent to the ray tracing of the Shack-Hartmann method known to those skilled in the art, and the mathematics developed for this method may be applied to method of power measurement providing results similar to those of the Shack - Hartmann method.
