Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the field of eyewear and more specifically the mounting of ophthalmic lenses of a pair of corrective glasses on a spectacle frame. It relates more particularly to a device for machining an ophthalmic lens, comprising means for supporting and driving in rotation of the ophthalmic lens around a locking axis of this lens, a machining module that is orientable by relative to the support means and rotation drive of the lens and which is for this purpose able to pivot about an axis of orientation not parallel to the locking axis of the lens, and at least one piercing tool rotatably mounted on said machining module about a first axis of rotation.
- the technical part of the optician's profession is to mount a pair of ophthalmic lenses on a frame selected by a wearer. This assembly is broken down into three main operations:
- each lens which consists in determining the position that each lens will occupy on the frame so as to be properly centered facing the pupil of the wearer's eye so that it properly exerts the optical function for which it was designed, and - the machining of each lens which consists of cutting its contour to the desired shape, given the defined centering parameters, so that it can be attached to the corresponding spectacle frame.
- the finish comprises a beveling operation which consists in producing on the edge of the lens a bevel, that is to say a profiled peripheral ridge with a generally V-shaped section. to fit into the bezel of the corresponding circle of the frame for fixing the lens.
- the finish comprises a drilling operation which consists in producing in the lens bores or notches on which the eyeglass frame will be fixed. If the lens is intended to be mounted on a semi-rimmed spectacle frame, the finish comprises a grooving operation which consists in producing on the edge of the lens a groove able to receive a thread for attaching the lens to the frame .
- Document EP 1 807 244 discloses an ophthalmic lens machining device capable of implementing all of these machining operations with the aid of different machining tools.
- the machining device includes support shafts for the ophthalmic lens, a lens shaping and beveling grinding wheel, and a finishing module.
- the clamping shafts are carried by a pivotally movable rocker about an axis parallel to the axis of support of the lens.
- the finishing module comprises a base movable pivotally about an axis parallel to the axis of support of the lens.
- the base of the finishing module carries a train of rotary finishing grinders around an axis of rotation, as well as a mobile drill pivoting on the base around an axis transverse to the support axis of the lens.
- This drill has a drill bit which is rotatably mounted about a second axis of rotation which, because of the mobility of the drill, is orientable relative to the lens.
- the main disadvantage of such a machining device is that the drill string has many tools stacked on top of each other so that it has a large length of cantilever. During the machining of the lens, the bending forces on the drill string deform the latter and then make the machining of the ophthalmic lens imprecise.
- this string of grinders has a large size and imposes, because of the stack of tools, a tedious maintenance.
- the wheel train is rotated by a common motor, so it is necessary to change the rotational speed of the engine according to the tool used.
- the motor is thus made to operate with an amplitude of rotational speeds corresponding to powers far from its nominal power curve. It is therefore necessary to use a powerful engine, so expensive and bulky.
- the drill being movable relative to the finisher, it is mandatory to provide a motor for rotating the drill bit and a motor for rotating the string of grinders. In addition to a high manufacturing cost, such architecture gives the finishing module a large footprint and weight.
- only the drill bit is orientable relative to the lens, so that it is in particular not possible to change the orientation of the groove on the edge of the lens.
- Document FR 2 614 227 discloses a machining device in which it is planned to group together on the same module different machining tools, with axes of rotation distinct and parallel to the support axis of the lens. To select each tool (with this tool facing the lens to be machined), this module is pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to said axes of rotation. This device, however, is devoid of drilling tool. The above-mentioned pivoting also makes it impossible to incline the machining tools with respect to the lens, for example to modify the orientation of the groove on the edge of the lens.
- the present invention proposes a new machining device which is less cumbersome, of easier maintenance and of increased precision, making it possible to pierce the lenses close to their support axes, and of which at least two tools of distinct axes are orientable with respect to The lens.
- a machining device as defined in the introduction, in which at least one creasing and / or grinding tool rotatably mounted on said module is provided on the one hand.
- machining about a second axis of rotation distinct from and fixed relative to the first axis of rotation, and secondly, a geared motor unit which comprises a single motor and which is adapted to drive in rotation at speeds different said creasing and / or grinding tool and said piercing tool.
- drilling tool is meant any type of tool capable of drilling a hole in the ophthalmic lens.
- the drilling tool may comprise a drill made of a material capable of piercing the lenses of glass, polycarbonate and plastic.
- creasing tool and / or grinding means any type of tool capable of making a groove on the edge of a lens and / or machining the edge of this lens.
- the creasing tool can conventionally comprise a flange-shaped grinding wheel. It may alternatively comprise a small-diameter bur which, used orthogonally with respect to the edge of the lens, makes it possible to machine with its free end a groove along the edge of the lens.
- the grinding tool can include any type of grinding wheels or grinders, milling cutters or knives, for cutting and / or beveling and / or polishing the edge of the lens.
- a cutter used orthogonally with respect to the edge of the lens may also allow to cut and / or bevel the edge of the lens.
- the machining tools of the ophthalmic lens are thus distributed on the machining module, individually or in groups, along different axes of rotation.
- the length of each tool or group of tools is therefore reduced, so that the bending forces generate few machining inaccuracies.
- the overall size of the machining device is decreased.
- the machining tools are arranged on the steerable machining module allows to tilt these tools when they machine the lens so that they fit perfectly to the shape and configuration of the lens relative to the device.
- the arrangement of the drilling tool on an axis of rotation distinct from the axis of the creasing and / or grinding tool makes it possible for this drilling tool to have a reduced overall diameter. As a result, it can be approached by the lens support means so as to pierce the lens at a very small distance from the support axis of the lens.
- a single motor housed in the machining module rotates each machining tool of the module at a specific rotational speed which is its nominal rotational speed for which it was designed and which corresponds to the type machining he must perform.
- each machining tool is made of a clean material, has a diameter different from those of other tools and is adapted to achieve a type of machining different from those of other tools.
- the reduction ratio specific to each tool or group of machining tools (which may be greater than or less than 1) makes it possible to adapt the speed of rotation of the tool to the machining it must perform. This ratio of reducing the speed of the engine also makes it possible to make the most of the power of the engine and thus to use a limited power motor (thus inexpensive and compact).
- the distance between said axis of orientation and said first axis of rotation is less than 40 millimeters.
- the machining device comprising a cutting wheel rotatably mounted about a transfer axis, the direction of the locking pin is fixed with respect to the transfer axis and the direction of the machining module is variable with respect to the transfer axis.
- the axes of rotation of the creasing and / or grinding and drilling tools of the machining module are parallel to one another.
- the machining module comprises a mobility transverse to the blocking axis and an axial translational mobility with respect to the means for supporting and rotating the lens along an axis of rotation. transfer parallel to said locking pin.
- the machining device comprises a base on which said machining module is mounted to pivot about the axis of orientation and which is adapted to translate relative to the means for supporting and driving in rotation of the lens along said transfer axis and to pivot about said transfer axis to provide the machining module its transverse and axial mobility.
- the machining device comprises means for actuating the machining module which are arranged to adjust the orientation of the machining module around the axis of orientation in favor of of its axial mobility and which are engageable and disengageable thanks to its transversal mobility.
- the machining module is devoid of electromechanical means of clean operation for adjusting its orientation. For this purpose, it is only provided with mechanical means, such as a lever adapted to cooperate with a fixed part of the device. This cooperation can then take place when the base of the machining module takes, by means of its transverse and axial mobility, a predetermined engagement position.
- the drilling tool is the only machining tool rotatably mounted about its axis of rotation and is located on an edge of the machining module so that there is at least one position of the machining module in which the distance between the first axis of rotation and the blocking axis is less than the sum of the radius of the creasing and / or grinding tool and the radius of the support and rotational driving means of the lens.
- this difference is less than the sum of the radius of the smallest creasing and grinding tools and the radius of the support shafts and rotational drive of the lens. It would therefore not be possible to approach the drill bit of the center of the lens so much if the drill bit was mounted on an axis of rotation common to one of the creasing and grinding tools.
- the machining module comprises at most two machining tools rotatably mounted around the same axis of rotation;
- the machining module comprises a creasing grinder and a tool for milling and trimming ophthalmic lenses rotatably mounted about a same axis of rotation;
- the machining module comprises a rigid finishing grinding wheel and a soft polishing grinder rotatably mounted about the same axis of rotation.

- the three Bells expand in different lengths from each other.
- the threaded rod 16 which is made of steel, also extends.
- the materials and dimensions of the three bells are chosen so that these dilations (including the average useful expansion of the rod) compensate for each other, thus preventing the flange 18A and the threaded rod 16 from generating unwanted thermal dispersions, which would lead to errors. for the machining of ophthalmic lenses.
- the grinder illustrated in FIG. 1 further comprises a machining arm 30 provided, on the one hand, with a machining module 35 which carries additional machining tools 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 (FIG. 6) for trimming and finishing the ophthalmic lens, and on the other hand, a base 31 which connects the machining module 35 to the frame 3 of the grinder 2.
- a machining arm 30 provided, on the one hand, with a machining module 35 which carries additional machining tools 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 (FIG. 6) for trimming and finishing the ophthalmic lens, and on the other hand, a base 31 which connects the machining module 35 to the frame 3 of the grinder 2.
- this machining arm 30 has a degree of mobility, in a direction substantially transverse to the blocking axis A1 and to the axis of the restitution A3.
- This degree of transverse mobility is called retraction and is noted ESC.
- the retraction consists of a pivoting of the machining arm 30 about the transfer axis A2.
- the machining module 35 has, thanks to the transfer mobilities TRA and retraction ESC of the machining arm 30, an adjustable position allowing the additional machining tools to be moved closer to or away from the lens blocked by the shafts. , 12 of the device.
- the base 31 of the machining arm 30 is provided with a tubular sleeve 32 mounted on the carriage 25 to pivot about the transfer axis A2 and to translate with the trolley 25 along this axis A2 (TRA transfer mobility).
- the tubular sleeve 32 is provided, at one of its ends, with a wheel 34 whose angular sector is toothed and meshes with a pinion (not visible in the figures) equipping the shaft.
- an electric motor 27 integral with the carriage 25.
- the machining module 35 is connected to the tubular sleeve 32 of the base 31 by means of a lever 33, which is fixed on the other end of the tubular sleeve 32, and a connecting piece 43.
- this machining module 35 comprises a housing 36 which extends in length along an arc of a circle in order to match the shape of the clipping and beveling wheel 20 around which it pivots. (ESC retraction).
- This housing 36 comprises, at mid-length, a shaft (not visible) which extends along an axis of orientation A5 orthogonal to the transfer axis A2. Said shaft is inserted into a bushing 37 of corresponding shape belonging to the connecting piece 43. The shaft and the bushing then form a pivot connection axis A5, allowing the machining module 35 to pivot relative to the workpiece. link 43.
- This orientation mobility of the machining module 35 around the axis A5 is noted ORI in FIGS. 2 and 4. This mobility is permanently braked by unrepresented braking means. These braking means are here arranged inside the sleeve 37 and / or the shaft inserted into the socket.
- a brake comprising, on the one hand, a piston housed in an axial bore of the shaft so as to slide in this bore while being integral in rotation with the shaft, and, secondly, a return spring of the piston against the bottom of the sleeve 37.
- the front face of the piston is here provided with a friction surface which, by rubbing against the bottom of the sleeve 37, can block the pivoting of the shaft in the sleeve 37.
- the braking obtained must be sufficient to withstand the torque generated during the machining of the ophthalmic lens by one of the additional machining tools 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 carried by the machining module 35.
- the piston is not disengageable and thus exerts its braking permanently.
- the housing 36 of the machining module 35 carries the additional machining tools 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 in its end zone closest to the shafts 11, 12 for supporting the lens.
- the housing 36 carries five tools divided into three groups of one or two machining tools. Each group is adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation A6, A7, A8 distinct from the axes of rotation of the other groups of tools. These axes of rotation are here parallel to each other.
- a first group disposed at the end of the housing 36 comprises a single drilling tool 50.
- This drilling tool 50 conventionally comprises a drill 51 for drilling the ophthalmic lens held by a mandrel 52 and a clamping ring 53 of the mandrel 52. on the drill 51.
- the mandrel 52 is adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation A6 orthogonal to the axis of orientation A5.
- the axis of rotation A6 of the drilling tool 50 may be parallel or inclined with respect to the locking axis A1 of the lens ophthalmic.
- the orientation of the machining module 35 thus makes it possible to incline the drill 51 relative to the ophthalmic lens, in order to pierce the latter according to the desired axis.
- the drilling tool 50 is here arranged on the machining module 35 so that its axis of rotation A6 is remote from the axis of orientation A5 by a gap of less than 40 millimeters, preferably zero.
- the machining module 35 pivots about its axis of orientation A5, the end of the drill 51 describes a circular arc around the axis of orientation A5, of small radius.
- the implementation of the machining tool facing the lens is therefore achieved with a reduced travel of the drill, so that it is fast, and accurate.
- the drilling tool 50 is alone on its axis of rotation and the mandrel 52 and the clamping ring 53 have reduced diameters, of the order of 8 millimeters.
- this drilling tool 50 is located at the end of the machining module 35, so that the edge of the mandrel is flush with the end of the machining module.
- the distance between the axis of rotation A6 of the piercing tool and the locking axis A1 of the lens is approximately equal to 11 millimeters.
- the piercing tool 50 can be brought very close to the support and rotation drive shafts 11, 12 of the lens in order to pierce the latter near its locking pin A1. It is thus possible to pierce the lenses of small dimensions.
- a second group of machining tools comprises a stack of two separate tools, namely a grooving crease 60 and a milling tool 70 of diameter less than one centimeter, here equal to 5 millimeters. These two tools are adapted to rotate around the same axis of rotation A7.

- the machining module 35 can pivot about the axis A5 between two extreme angular positions angularly separated by a restricted angle (approximately 30 degrees). In a variant not shown of the invention, it can be provided that these two extreme angular positions are angularly separated by an angle of about 90 degrees.
- the cutter 71 can be brought under the edge of the lens to be machined, vertically, parallel to the axis A3. Its free end can thus be brought opposite the edge of the lens.
- This position of the cutter (radially with respect to the axis of the lens) can thus make it possible to create a groove or an engagement rib (bevel) along the edge of the lens, by pivoting it around its axis.
- provision may be made to arrange the cutter on the machining module 35 so that its axis of rotation A7 extends parallel to the axis of orientation A5. In this way, the free end of the cutter can also be used to make a groove or a nesting rib along the edge of the lens.
- Grooving wheel 60 generally has a disc shape pierced with a central opening engaged on the mandrel 72 of the milling and routing tool 70.
- the grinder 60 is rotationally integral with this mandrel 72 and has two concentric portions of low thicknesses.
- the central portion 61 has the shape of a disc whose two faces extend orthogonally to the axis of rotation A7.
- the peripheral portion 62 extends in the continuity of the central portion 61 but has a slightly conical shape. The periphery of this tool is adapted to make a groove on the edge of the ophthalmic lens.
- This deburring is conventionally performed by machining one or more facets on the rear face of the lens, in planes substantially orthogonal to the blocking axis A1. Since the peripheral portion 62 of the tool is conical, the ORI orientation mobility is used to tilt the tool so that it deburrs the lens in a vertical plane (orthogonal to the blocking axis A1).
- a third group of tools 98 machining also comprises a stack of two separate tools, namely a grinding fin 80 and a grinding polishing 90. These two tools are adapted to rotate about the same axis of rotation A8. This axis A8 is disposed between the two axes of rotation A6, A7 of the two other groups of tools.
- the third group of machining tools 98 is set back from the other groups of tools so that the lens can be brought into contact with each of the tools of the machining module 35 without the risk of interfering with another of the tools. of the module.
- the axes of rotation A7 and A8 of the second and third groups of tools are also arranged at a short distance from the axis of orientation A5 (less than 40 millimeters), so that the pivoting of the finishing module 35 causes a movement of each machining tool of low clearance.
- Each of the three groups of machining tools is mounted on a drive shaft guided in rotation by a sliding bearing disposed in the housing 36 of the machining module 35.
- the machining tools 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are all rotated by a geared motor assembly 38, 39 which comprises a single motor 38 electric.
- This motor 38 comprises an output shaft to which is fixed a gear 39A.
- the latter meshes with other gears 39 of different diameters, which makes it possible in particular to rotate at different speeds the gears 39B, 39C, 39D linked to the drive shafts of the machining tool groups.
- the gears 39 of the geared motor assembly 38, 39 are all housed inside the housing 36 which is closed by a cover.
- the reduction ratios of the geared motor assembly 38, 39 are each of the machining tools rotates approximately at its nominal operating speed (set by the manufacturer of the tool according to its shape, the material that composes it and the type of machining it performs) when the engine develops its maximum power.
- the torque that can develop each machining tool when machining the lens is thus maximum relative to the power of the engine.
- the two machining tools of the same group of tools being driven at equal speeds of rotation they are chosen such that they have nominal operating speeds close.
- the machining device 1 comprises means for actuating the machining module 35 for adjusting its orientation about the axis of orientation A5.
- actuating means are only mechanical. They are designed to exploit the existing mobility controls, without any other electromechanical mechanism of the machining device 1 being dedicated to this adjustment.
- adjustment rod 40 which is fixed to the casing 36, on the side of its end opposite to the machining tools 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and which extends longitudinally in the extension of the arc of a circle. formed by the housing, along an axis perpendicular to the axis of orientation A5.
- the free end of this adjustment rod 40 is provided with a finger 41 of axis parallel to the axis of orientation A5.
- This finger 41 is formed of two studs which each extend on one side or the other of the adjustment rod 40.
- machining module 35 When the machining module 35 pivots about the axis A5, one of the studs of the finger 41 slides along a guide groove 42 in an arc formed in the connecting piece 43.
- This guide groove 42 makes it possible to stiffen the pivoting shaft-bushing connection of the machining module 35 around the axis A5. It extends over a limited angular sector, typically between 15 and 40 degrees, here of the order of 30 degrees.
- the machining module 35 can therefore take a plurality of angular positions around the axis A5 limited between two extreme angular positions.
- the machining module 35 is shown in FIG. 2 in one of these extreme angular positions and, in FIG. 4, in the other of these extreme angular positions.
- said actuating means of the machining module 35 comprise an adjustment fork 44 adapted to cooperate with the other stud of the finger 41.
- This adjustment fork 44 comprises a base 45 fixed to the frame 3 of the grinder 2 and two branches 46, 47.
- Each branch 46, 47 has an inner face 48, 49 next to the other leg extending substantially vertically in a plane parallel to the axis of orientation A5 and the restitution axis A3 ( Figure 1).
- these inner faces 48, 49 of the branches 46, 47 have two distinct functional areas: - an upper engagement zone for docking and engaging the finger 41, the upper zones of the two branches together forming a centering neck finger 41 allowing the latter, if not properly centered relative to the adjustment support 44, to be guided to refocus between the two branches 46, 47; and a lower adjustment zone serving, in a first step, to precisely orient the machining module in an angular position around the known and marked axis A5, and, in a second step, to hold the finger 41 laterally.
- This embodiment of the actuating means, implementing two branches cooperating with a finger is not limiting.
- alternative solutions may be provided for adjusting the orientation of the machining module, for example:
- the control of the ORI orientation mobility of the machining module 35 is achieved by optimizing the use of the existing machining mobility degrees on the grinder 2.
- the RES restitution consisting of a transverse relative mobility of the lens (that is to say in the general plane of the lens) with respect to the clipping and beveling wheel 20, making it possible to reproduce the different rays describing the outline of the desired shape of the lens,
- the TRA transfer consisting of an axial relative mobility of the lens (that is to say, perpendicular to the general plane of the lens) relative to the cutting and beveling wheel 20 and the machining arm 30,
- ESC retraction consisting of a transverse relative mobility, in a direction distinct from that of the restitution, of the machining arm 30 with respect to the lens, making it possible to put in the position of use and to store the arm of machining 30, and
- the orientation ORI of the machining module 35 consisting of a pivoting mobility of the machining module 35 around the axis of orientation A5, in order to correctly orient its machining tools with respect to the ophthalmic lens .
- the machining arm 30 is pivotally controlled about the transfer axis A2 (ESC retraction) to adopt several main angular positions, including:
- a storage position (that illustrated in FIG. 1) in which it is remote from the shafts 11, 12 for holding the lens, thus freeing the space necessary for machining the lens on the cutting and beveling wheel 20 without risk of conflict
- a machining position in which the machining tool chosen is positioned between the cutting and beveling wheel 20 and the shafts 11, 12 for holding the lens, substantially at the vertical axis A2 or, more generally, on or near the trajectory (in this case cylindrical) of the axis A2 of the lens in its useful restitution course RES.
- the machining arm 30 may also have an additional position in which it is very far from the shafts 11,12, so that the finger 41 of its adjustment rod 40 (FIG. 5) is engaged between the branches 46, 47 of the adjustment support 44.
- the machining arm 30 is controlled in translation along the transfer axis A2 (transfer TRA) so that, the finger being held laterally in the direction of the axis A2, the module machining 35 of the machining arm 30 moves relative to the finger 41 which remains locked. This relative movement causes the finger 41 to slide along the guiding groove 42.
- the control of the translation of the machining arm 30 along the transfer axis A2 thus makes it possible to adjust the orientation of the machining module 35 around of axis A5.
- the grinder 2 of the machining device 1 further comprises means projecting a liquid on the edge of the lens blocked by the shafts 11, 12 when machined by one of the machining tools of the device.
- This liquid can be refrigerant or heating. It is intended to maintain the ophthalmic lens at the temperature at which it will be used. More precisely, knowing that the future carrier of the lens lives in a country where the average temperature is known, the liquid maintains the temperature of the lens during its machining at this average temperature. Therefore, when this lens is mounted in a circle of a spectacle frame (advantageously metallic), in the country of the wearer, its dimensions correspond precisely to the expected dimensions and no dilation of the lens disturbs the interlocking.
- the ophthalmic lens 200 has a convex front face 201 and a concave rear face 202.
- the finishing grinder 80 has a cylindrical working face 81 and a conical working face 82 whose normal at a point on this face is directed away from the center of curvature of the lens 200.
- the conical working faces 82 and cylindrical 81 of this rigid finishing wheel 80 are used to form the rear flank 243 and the rear leg 224 of a peripheral engagement ridge 240, commonly called bevel.
- the polishing grinder 90 has a central cylindrical working face 91 and, on either side of this cylindrical working face 91, two opposite conical working faces 92, 93.
- the conical working faces 92, 93 of this polishing wheel are used to make a polished chamfer on the edges of the front and rear faces of the lens.
- the central cylindrical working face 91 makes it possible to polish the rear leg 224 of the peripheral engagement rib 240, which extends parallel to the axis A8 between the rear flank 243 of the rib and the rear face 202 of the lens.
- the normal at a point of one of the conical working faces 93 is directed towards the center of curvature of the lens 200.
- This conical working face 93 is thus suitably oriented to machine if necessary the front face 201 of the lens.
- the peripheral portion 221 of the front face 201 of the lens is machined by the conical working face 93 of the polishing grinder 90 so as to have an inclined facet 241 which forms the front flank 241 of the rib device
- the RES and ROT rotation mobilities of the lens, as well as the transfer mobility TRA of the polishing wheel 90, are controlled jointly by the electronic and computer device 100 to machine the peripheral portion 221 of the lens and thus form the sidewall. before 241 machined peripheral rib 240.
- a discontinuity 242 of the second order is formed on the peripheral portion 221 of the front face 201 of the lens a discontinuity 242 of the second order.
- the peripheral portion 221 of the front face 201 of the lens is thus ground to have a discontinuity of the second order, but with a continuity of first order, with the remainder of the front face 201.
- continuity of first order it is understood that the ground peripheral portion of the front face of the lens has a common edge with the unmolded rest of the front face.
- second-order discontinuity is meant a failure of slopes between the ground peripheral portion of the front face of the lens and the non-milled remainder of the front face. There is therefore no off-hook (or walk) in the direction of the axis of the lens between the front face of the lens and the leading edge of the interlocking rib.
- the front flank 241 of the peripheral rib 240 thus has a planar face adapted to come into contact with the corresponding flat part of a bezel of a rim (a groove running through the inside of a rimmed eyeglass frame). .
- the peripheral ridge of the lens is then nested in the bezel of the circle more reliably and accurately.
- the conical front flank 141 of the peripheral rib 140 is adapted to suitably come into contact with the bezel.
- the lens is slightly advanced relative to the corresponding circle in which it is mounted, that is to say that the lens is away from the lens. eye, which makes mounting more aesthetic.
- the orientation mobility ORI of the machining module 35 can be controlled so as to obtain the desired inclination of the leading edge 241 of the peripheral rib on the lens 200.
