- the invention relates more particularly to a method of machining a face of such an optical object.
- the machining of optical objects generally requires particular attention to the precision and regularity of the machined shapes. In particular, the machining defects related to the wear of the tool used for this machining must be avoided.
- the document US Pat. No. 5,231,587 describes a lens machining machine comprising a spherical tool rotatably mounted around its longitudinal axis, called the first axis, this tool being more angularly oriental by its pivoting around a second perpendicular axis. at the first axis.
- a holder for supporting the lens is similarly arranged and allows a rotation of the lens about a third axis, coplanar with the first axis, and allows the angular orientation of the lens by pivoting about it. a fourth axis perpendicular to the third axis.
- JP 2005 22 4927 is a machining method during which a machining tool is positioned relative to a workpiece so that the vector connecting a machining point and the center of With the normal vector, the tool forms with the surface to be machined at said machining point a constant angle during the entire machining procedure.

- this method being characterized in that it further comprises the following steps: a) fixing a support on the plate so that the support projects transversely to the plate; b) fixing on the support of the optical object to be machined so that said face to be machined is arranged transversely to the receiving surface of the plate; c) machining of said face by the machining tool along a path substantially parallel to the receiving surface of the plate, the plate being angularly oriented as the machining progresses so that the
- Such a method makes it possible to overcome the defects of the type of shape deviation of the machining tool. In the end, it guarantees a better respect of the machined surface and a better durability of the machining tool.
- the process eliminates the defects of the machining tool by ensuring that the point of contact between this tool and the face to be machined is always located on the same parallel of the tool, and this on a machine having a turntable and a mobile machining tool in translation.
- This method also allows a trajectory of the machining tool which involves, on the one hand, lower levels of acceleration and which is, on the other hand, devoid of problems of reversal of trajectory.
- the axes of the machining machine do not need to be oversized and tool wear is more regular.
- these advantages related to the acceleration levels and to the inversion problems are supplemented by the fact that, according to the Cartesian trajectories allowed by the invention, there are There is no singular point in the center of the lens, where, following a spiral trajectory, the advance speed is zero in the center.
- the machining machine according to the invention allows to machine only the necessary portion of the lens.
- the method further comprises the following steps, after step c): displacement of the machining tool in translation in a direction substantially perpendicular to the tray receiving surface; possible repetition of step c); the machining method further comprises the following step, before step c): machining of said face by the machining tool in a path substantially perpendicular to the receiving surface of the plate, the plate being angularly oriented to machining tool so that the machining tool is in contact with said face always in the same predetermined parallel and a predetermined angle is maintained between the axis of rotation of the machining tool and normal to said face at the point of contact with the machining tool; the machining method further comprises, before step c), a step of surveying the dynamic contour of the machining tool; - The survey of the dynamic contour of the machining tool is performed by driving the machining tool vis-à-vis means to raise a profile; the step of reading the dynamic contour of the machining tool is followed by a step of selecting a predetermined parallel; said predetermined
- the invention provides a machining machine adapted to the implementation of the method indicated above, characterized in that it comprises a turntable having a receiving surface and a pin adapted to drive a tool machining in rotation about an axis substantially parallel to the receiving surface of the turntable and adapted to move the machining tool in translation in a plane substantially parallel to the receiving surface of the plate, and a fixed support on the plate so that this support extends transversely to the plate, this support comprising means for holding the optical object so that the machining face of the optical object is disposed transversely to the receiving surface of the turntable.
- the pin is further adapted to move the machining tool in translation in a direction substantially perpendicular to the tray receiving surface; the machine further comprises means for rotating the machining tool arranged vis-à-vis means for raising an outline.
- FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C are respectively similar to FIGS.
- the machining machine shown has a turntable 1 (seen in profile in this figure) of circular shape.
- This plate 1 is angularly orientable about an axis perpendicular to its center in both directions (arrow 2 of Figure 1).
- the turntable 1 has a receiving surface 3 on its upper part.
- a bracket 4 is fixed, for example by screwing, on the receiving surface 3 so that a mounting surface 5 of the bracket 4 protrudes perpendicularly to the receiving surface 3.
- the bracket 4 comprises jaws (not shown) adapted to hold an optical object, which is in the present example an ophthalmic lens 6, such that a surface to be machined 7 of the ophthalmic lens 6 is disposed transversely to the receiving surface 3.
- an optical object which is in the present example an ophthalmic lens 6, such that a surface to be machined 7 of the ophthalmic lens 6 is disposed transversely to the receiving surface 3.
- This machining machine also comprises a pin 8 on which is mounted a machining tool 9, which is in this example a spherical bearing end mill.
- the pin 8 is adapted to drive the tool 9 in rotation along the arrow 10 and to move the tool 9 in translation along the three directions X, Y and
- Pin 8 is here parallel to the Z axis.
- the spindle 8 is inclined with respect to the axis Z.
- the displacement of the tool 9 along the three directions X, Y and Z can be achieved by means of a fixed spindle 8 and a turntable 1 which is itself movable in translation along the X, Y and Z directions.
- any combination of displacements of the tool 9 and the turntable 1 allowing such relative movement of the tool 9 and the turntable 1 can be alternatively accepted.
- the surface to be machined 7 which is seen in plan in FIG. 2, is here machined according to a grooved path shown schematically by the line 11.
- the machining is carried out in the form of a series of passes of the tool. 9 rotated and moved along a path parallel to the receiving surface 3.
- the surface to be machined appears from the front like a disc, it being understood that the lens 6 is curved and that this surface to be machined 7 is therefore not flat.
- FIG. 3 illustrates in three dimensions the relative tool-piece positioning along the same parallel P of the tool 9.
- the tool 9 Before being mounted on the pin 8, the tool 9 is mounted on equipment for determining its dynamic profile.
- This equipment is adapted to rotate the tool 9.
- the dynamic profile of the tool is raised by example by placing the tool 9 between a parallel light beam and a screen so that the shadow of the tool 9 projected on the screen accounts for this dynamic profile 12, or by filming the tool 9 in rotation and by displaying this image on a screen.
- the dynamic profile measurement equipment also makes it possible to work on this image, manually or electronically, and to make measurements and plots on this dynamic profile 12.
- a parallel P is then chosen on this dynamic profile which appears in the figures in the form of a segment perpendicular to the axis of rotation 13 of the tool 9 around which the dynamic profile 12 is symmetrical.
- This parallel P is determined by the intersection of a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation 13 of the tool 9 and the dynamic profile 12 of the tool 9.
- the tangent 14 is determined at the contour of the dynamic profile at the point of intersection between one of the ends of the parallel P and the contour of the profile 12.
- the perpendicular 15 to the tangent 14 at point C intersects the axis of rotation 13 at a point RD which is the dynamic radius of the tool 9. This perpendicular 15 is the normal to the dynamic profile 12 at point C.
- the machining is then performed so that, on the one hand, the tool 9 is in contact with the surface to be machined always at the point C, that is to say, the tool being rotatable, always according to the same parallel P and that, on the other hand, the relative angular orientation between the tool and the surface to be machined is such that the normal N to the surface to be machined at the point of contact C passes through the point RD, that is, that is, it is confused with the perpendicular 15.
- Figure 5 shows two possible positions of the tool 9 along a surface to be machined 7 respecting the principles above.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 which are views from above with respect to the representation of FIG.
- the turntable 1 is angularly oriented so that the surface 7 comes to be positioned according to this FIG. 6, that is to say say so that the normal N at the surface 7 at the point of contact C passes through the center RD, which implies that the angle A is always kept between this normal N and the axis of rotation 13 of the tool 9.
- Point-type machining is performed. That is to say that one always uses the same place on the spherical generator of the grinding wheel.
- the set of ground / piece contact points will therefore form a circle contained in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the tool. The position of this plane relative to the wheel center is defined by the angle A.
- the tool 9 is then moved in a path parallel to the receiving surface 3 of the turntable 1, that is to say in the X, Z plane.
- Figure 7 shows another position of the tool 9 after displacement.
- the turntable 1 has been oriented angularly, as previously, so that the normal N 2 at the point C 2 passes through the RD point. This angular orientation of the turntable 1 is as the tool travels. 9 on the surface to be machined 7.
- the tool 9 is moved in translation perpendicular to the receiving surface 3, that is to say along the Y axis, according to Figure 2, then a new pass in the X plane, Z is performed in the same way. These operations are repeated until the complete machining of the surface 7.
- N p (U, V, W) species in the part number We look for the grinding center point R D (X m , Y m , Z m ) species and its direction N p (U m , V m , W m ) species in the workpiece reference. Calculation of angle B
- the reference wheel (X grinding wheel , Y grinding wheel , Z grinding wheel ) is defined, an orthonormed reference mark of origin the center of the grinding wheel, and collinear with the direction of the grinding wheel.
- the norm at point C expressed in the part number is such that:
- N (- £ / sinB + JFcosB) X w + V ⁇ m + ⁇ T / cosB + FsinB) Z m
- Machining can be done in two steps:
- a first step in which one comes to position the tool so that the normal of the point to be machined is "parallel to the surface of the cone".
- a second step in which the machining point is brought into contact with the point to be machined.
- the tool is thus used symmetrically on either side of the parallel P that has been chosen, which allows better predict and control this wear.
- the tool 9 machines the surface 7 by attacking the material perpendicular to the path of movement of the tool 9, which makes it possible to overcome the machining defects inherent in the machining mode in which the material is either "swallowed” or “pushed back", when the tool attacks the material parallel to its path of travel.
- the parallel P is chosen as a function of the shape of the surface to be machined 7 so that no portion of this surface 7 is inaccessible to this parallel P in view of the possible angular movements between the tool 9 and the turntable 1 , taking into account the size of pin 8.
- FIGS. 8A to 8C show the machining of the lens 6 by the tool 9 according to a first contact point C1 (as in FIG. 6), while FIGS. 9A to 9C show the machining of the lens 6 by the tool 9 according to a second contact point C2 (as in FIG. 7).
- the normal N at the point of contact C of the surface to be machined 7 is shown.
- the passage of the point of contact C1 of FIGS. 8A to 8C at the point of contact C2 of FIGS. 9A to 9C naturally causes a displacement of the normal N from its position N1 to its position N2.
- This normal N evolves according to the point of contact C, in a volume in the form of cone.
- the machining machine may comprise two separate pins, a first pin for roughing and a second for finishing and half-finishing the optical object such as an ophthalmic lens, a mold or an insert.
- the machining machine may further comprise a tool changer adapted to come to position a tool 9 on the spindle.
