Definitions
- the present invention relates to the determination of the position of an optical lens which is held on a known lens surface of the optical lens by a lens holding element, as well as the processing or testing of a lens held in this way.
- both the shape of the existing front surface of the spectacle lens blank and the desired final shape of the back surface, which is yet to be manufactured, are known in the coordinate system of the spectacle lens.
- the position (positioning and orientation) of the front surface and the back surface relative to each other is also precisely determined.
- REPLACEMENT BLADE This is also crucial for the desired optical effect. Especially with complex-shaped surfaces, such as progressive lenses, even small deviations in the relative position (positioning and/or orientation) of both surfaces to each other could have an unacceptably strong influence on the optical effects.
- the precise position (position and direction/orientation) of the entire spectacle lens, in particular the known front surface, relative to the holding element must be precisely determined. Since the precise position and orientation (e.g. relative to a corresponding processing or testing tool) of an optical lens is often very important for processing or checking the lens surface(s) (including the edge), this information must be known for the state in which such a lens is held by the respective lens holding element.
- the object of the present invention is to further improve the quality of optical lenses or their optical characterization. This is achieved within the scope of the present invention by a method according to the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the invention provides a computer-implemented method for determining a (stable) position (position and orientation) of an optical lens with respect to a lens holding element, while the optical lens is held by a holding force with a (known) first lens surface against a contact area of the The first lens surface of the optical lens is at least partially in contact with the lens holding element.
- the lens holding element provides the contact area for this purpose.
- the method according to the invention comprises providing surface data of the first lens surface of the optical lens.
- This first lens surface therefore has a known surface shape which is defined by the surface data.
- the surface data of the first lens surface can be in the form of arrow heights.
- the surface data of the first lens surface are made available, for example, as arrow heights in a coordinate system of the lens in a database, in a file system or via an interface to the computer which carries out the method according to the invention.
- they can originate, for example, from standard lens data (e.g. base curve of a spectacle lens) or from an individual surface optimization of a lens (e.g. an individual progressive spectacle lens).
- the surface data of the first lens surface can also have been determined by (for example optical and/or mechanical/tactile) measurements of the surface of the lens and can be provided as (temporarily) stored data via a database or in a file system, e.g. of a measurement management system.
- Providing the surface data of the first lens surface thus preferably comprises reading the stored surface data from a data storage device and/or measuring the first lens surface, e.g. using standardized area measuring devices such as Dual LensMapper, wherein the measuring device or its control unit makes the measured first lens surface available to the computer that carries out the method according to the invention, as described above.
- surface data of the contact area of the lens holding element are provided.
- the surface data of the contact area of the lens holding element can be provided, for example, as coordinates of surface points in a Coordinate system of the lens holding system in a database, in a file system or via an interface to the computer that carries out the method according to the invention.
- This surface data can also be present as stored values in a database or a file system, e.g. of a goods management system, and made available for the method described here. For example, it can originate from type-specific, technical data sets of the lens holding element, e.g. given by design drawings of the lens holding element, or it can also have been measured directly on the specific lens holding element.
- the provision of the surface data therefore preferably includes reading out the stored surface data from a data storage device and/or measuring the surface, e.g. using standardized coordinate measuring devices, wherein the measuring device or its control unit makes the measured surface data available to the computer that carries out the method according to the invention, as described above.
- force effect data of the holding force are provided in a database, in a file system or via an interface to the computer that carries out the method according to the invention, which determine at least one force application point and one force direction of the holding force.
- This force effect data can be available as stored values in a database or a file system, e.g. of a goods management system, or it can be calculated for use by e.g. a calculation system, for example if a clamping arm of the lens holding element is controllable and its position and force effect must be determined depending on the lens and provided for the method described here.
- they can come at least partially from type-specific, technical data sets of the lens holding element, e.g. given by design drawings of the lens holding element.
- the force effect data can also be at least partially selected or entered by a user of the method described here, in particular via a user interface (e.g. computer workstation).
- a user could select (by entering via an operating terminal) that gravity should act as a holding force and/or in which direction (e.g. in relation to a coordinate system of the lens holding element) the holding force should act.
- at least the direction of the holding force can result automatically from an orientation of the lens holding element in space (predetermined or entered by the user).
- the point of application of the force of gravity can then be calculated from the respective, current position of the lens relative to the lens holding element (e.g.
- the provision of the force effect data therefore preferably comprises at least partially reading out stored data from a data storage device and/or input by a user and/or calculation from stored data and/or data entered by a user and/or data calculated in advance.
- first contact point of the first lens surface with the contact area of the lens holding element is provided.
- the provision of the first contact point preferably takes place depending on and adapted to the specific application in which the present invention is used. Examples and preferred embodiments of this are described in more detail below.
- the method comprises a virtual rotation of the optical lens about a first axis of rotation, which runs through the (at least one) first contact point and is both perpendicular to a force action axis, which runs through the force application point and parallel to the force direction, and perpendicular to the perpendicular from the first contact point to the force action axis, in the direction of a torque which is determined by the force action data for a rotation about the first axis of rotation.
- This virtual rotation can take place in particular in iterative, small steps. In any case, it takes place until the first lens surface of the optical lens and the contact area of the lens holding element form a second contact point with one another.
- the optical lens is virtually rotated about a second axis of rotation, which runs through the first and second contact points, in the direction of a torque which is determined by the force effect data for a rotation about the second axis of rotation, until the first lens surface of the optical lens and the contact area of the lens holding element form a third contact point.
- This virtual rotation can also take place in particular in iterative, small steps.
- the two virtual rotations take place at least when the respective torques are not equal to zero, i.e. when the axis of force action does not intersect with the respective axis of rotation. This will usually be the case in practice. Only in exceptional cases, when this condition is not met, can the method, for example, abort the calculation and determine the position of the optical lens as the stable position sought.
- this position can be output as the position to be determined.
- the method thus comprises outputting the position (position and orientation) of the optical lens resulting from the virtual rotations about the first and second axes of rotation as the position to be determined.
- the output can in particular be in the form of an output of a data set via a screen and/or a computer-readable data interface for data transmission and/or Data storage can take place.
- the output of the position to be determined preferably includes displaying and/or transmitting and/or storing position and/or orientation data which clearly defines the position and/or orientation of the lens relative to the lens holding element in the position determined (as stable).
- position and/or orientation data which clearly defines the position and/or orientation of the lens relative to the lens holding element in the position determined (as stable).
- at least three translational (position) and three rotational coordinates (orientation) of the lens (relative to the lens holding element) are thereby clearly defined, directly or indirectly.
- the position to be determined also defines fewer degrees of freedom in order to already describe the position of the optical lens clearly (enough).
- the position to be determined only clearly defines three translational and two rotational coordinates.
- the third coordinate describing the rotational symmetry can be disregarded.
- the second lens surface can also be clearly determined relative to the lens holding element and thus also relative to the first lens surface. This is of corresponding use depending on the process in which the present invention is used, as will be described below using a few examples.
- the specific shape and position of the second lens surface may initially be unknown.
- the aim of the measuring process may be to determine the shape and position of the second lens surface relative to the first lens surface.
- Measuring processes that directly measure only one lens surface (e.g. optically or mechanically) in a coordinate system of a corresponding measuring device are often technically much simpler, faster and more cost-effective, and sometimes also more precise, than measuring processes that (have to) measure both lens surfaces relative to a coordinate system of the measuring device and/or relative to each other.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to determine the position and orientation of the first lens surface relative to the lens holding element.
- the method according to the invention enables a very simple and precise determination of the position of the first lens surface relative to the measuring device. This applies in particular if the lens holding element is a component of the measuring device or the position of the lens holding element relative to the measuring device is known, in particular calibrated.
- the position of the first lens surface relative to the measuring device obtained by means of the method according to the invention and the shape of the second lens surface as well as its position relative to the first lens surface can be used to simulate measuring methods in a calculation system, for example, and thereby determine target values for the measurement. Examples of these measuring methods are transmission measurements such as the lensmeter and automapper.
- the method according to the invention when using the method according to the invention, it can be sufficient to carry out a measurement of the second lens surface (in the coordinate system of the measuring device) using the measuring device in order to determine the relative position of the second lens surface relative to the first lens surface.
- a measurement of the second lens surface in the coordinate system of the measuring device
- reflection measurements or area measurements e.g. by scanning the lens surface.
- a given second lens surface is to be processed (e.g. thinly coated) without significantly changing its shape (and position)
- its position (position and orientation) relative to the first lens surface may already be known.
- the aim may be to coat a complex, finished lens on the second lens surface, e.g. to apply a protective layer, an anti-reflective layer, a color, etc.
- this processing e.g. coating
- the position of the optical lens relative to the processing device or conversely a processing head, e.g.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to determine the position and orientation of the first lens surface relative to the lens holding element very precisely. Insofar as the position of the second lens surface relative to the first lens surface is already known (specified) in this application example, the position of the second lens surface relative to the lens holding element is therefore also determined or can be determined. Since it is generally technically very simple to determine or set the position of the lens holding element relative to a processing device very precisely, the method according to the invention enables a very simple and precise adjustment of the position of the second lens surface relative to the processing device or the position of a processing head of the processing device relative to the second lens surface. This applies in particular if the lens holding element is a component of the processing device or the position of the lens holding element relative to the processing device is known, in particular calibrated.
- a second lens surface to be manufactured is to be processed (e.g. ground or milled) by adapting the shape to a specified target, in addition to the shape of the second lens surface, its position (position and orientation) relative to the first lens surface can already be known as the target of the manufacturing process.
- the aim of the manufacturing process can be to manufacture a complex-shaped second lens surface in such a way that it ultimately occupies an exact position relative to the first lens surface.
- this processing of the second lens surface e.g. milling or grinding
- it is important to be able to adjust the position of the optical lens i.e.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to determine the position and orientation of the first lens surface relative to the lens holding element very precisely. Since it is usually technically very simple to change the position of the lens holding element relative to a production device (e.g. grinding or Milling machine) or the position of a process head (e.g. milling or grinding head) of the production device relative to the lens holding element to be determined or adjusted very precisely, the method according to the invention enables a very simple and precise adjustment of the position of the first lens surface relative to the production device such that the second lens surface to be produced by the production device then assumes the desired position relative to the first lens surface.
- a production device e.g. grinding or Milling machine
- a process head e.g. milling or grinding head
- the lens holding element is a component of the production device or the position of the lens holding element relative to the production device is known, in particular calibrated.
- the initial shape and position of the second lens surface i.e. before it is formed
- the embodiment for the processing process described above can be applied analogously.
- the present invention thus makes it possible to determine the position and orientation of the optical lens (i.e. its lens surfaces) relative to the lens holding element very reliably and precisely. This means that the optical lens can also be positioned very precisely relative to a corresponding processing tool.
- the invention thus makes it possible to determine an optimal coordinate transformation, for example by means of an iteration process.
- the method according to the invention is dynamically adaptive and thus results in a much more precise, but also faster, determination of the optimal coordinate transformation, particularly for complex lens surfaces.
- lens holding elements are a block ring or a flat support.
- the method is particularly suitable for spectacle lenses as preferred optical lenses.
- the holding force can be the gravity of the optical lens itself.
- Lens or a clamping arm that presses the optical lens against the contact area of the lens holding element.
- the method according to the invention is carried out in an iterative process, so that a coordinate transformation for determining the position (position and orientation) of the optical lens is found by iteration.
- One idea of the invention is that the spectacle lens is forced by all exerted forces into a position in which all forces and torques are compensated by the support of the first lens surface (e.g. front or back surface of a spectacle lens) on the contact area of the lens holding element. If the optical lens is not yet in this stable position, the optical lens will move towards this stable position due to the forces and torques. Modeling this physical dynamic ensures that the optimal or stable position of the optical lens and thus the optimal coordinate transformation can be found.
- the method also comprises, if a projection point resulting from a projection of the force application point along the force direction onto a temporary contact plane through the first, second and third contact point does not lie within a triangle formed by the first, second and third contact point, a virtual rotation of the optical lens about a further axis of rotation, which runs at least through that contact point from the first, second and third contact point which is closest to the projection point, in the direction of a torque which is determined by the force effect data for a rotation about the further axis of rotation, until the first lens surface of the optical lens and the contact area of the lens holding element form a further contact point.
- this step is carried out iteratively, wherein the contact point or contact points (from the first, second and third contact point) which are not contained in the further axis of rotation are discarded in the further iteration steps. Rather, a new constellation of three contact points is preferably searched for in an iterative manner until the projection point lies within the convex surface (triangle) formed by the three contact points.
- the further axis of rotation runs through a further contact point from the first, second and third contact points in such a way that the contact point from the first, second and third contact points lying outside the further axis of rotation and the projection point are separated from one another by the further axis of rotation within the temporary contact plane.
- the further axis of rotation divides the temporary contact plane into two half-planes, with the projection point and the contact point from the first, second and third contact points lying outside the further axis of rotation lying in different half-planes. In this case, in particular, this contact point not passed through by the further axis of rotation is discarded.
- the further axis of rotation runs both perpendicular to the force action axis and perpendicular to the perpendicular from the contact point through which the axis of rotation runs to the force action axis.
- both contact points not passed through by the further axis of rotation are discarded and the (iterative) method preferably looks for two further contact points.
- the force application point is the center of gravity of the optical lens and the direction of the force is vertical, i.e. the direction of the gravitational field (i.e. the direction of gravity).
- the provision of the first contact point preferably depends on and is adapted to the specific application in which the present invention is used.
- the first contact point can be determined in such a way that the lens is to be aligned with respect to a measuring sensor.
- a lensmeter or a Shack-Hartmann sensor can be used as a measuring sensor.
- the location of the measuring sensor preferably defines two (horizontal) coordinates of the position of a reference point (e.g. lens center) relative to the lens holding element and thus relative to the measuring device (e.g. relative to a sensor center).
- the provision of the first contact point with the The aim is that the lens center and the sensor center (particularly in the stable position to be determined) lie on a straight line that is particularly perpendicular to a support plane defined by the lens holding element. Angular coordinates of a rotation around this straight line can then be determined by aligning an internal coordinate system of the measuring sensor, e.g. reference of a cylinder base and/or a prism base of the optical lens.
- the first support point could be provided in such a way that the optical lens is aligned with respect to a blocking ring formed by the lens holding element, with a blocking ring center defining, for example, two (horizontal) coordinates of a reference point (e.g. lens center) relative to the blocking ring (in particular relative to the blocking ring center).
- the first contact point could thus be provided with the aim that the lens center and the blocking ring center lie on a straight line that is in particular perpendicular to a support plane defined by the blocking ring.
- Angular coordinates of a rotation about this straight line can then be defined by the alignment based on a reference specification by a cylinder base and/or a prism base of the optical lens.
- the specific choice of the first contact point is preferably linked to fewer boundary conditions, since here preferably only the relative distance of the highest point of the second lens surface from a flat support formed by the lens holding element is determined and this value is independent of the choice of the coordinate system and thus independent of the two horizontal translations (i.e. parallel to the flat support) and the rotation around the vertical (i.e. the perpendicular to the flat support).
- providing a first contact point of the first lens surface with the contact area of the lens holding element comprises providing a target value for the position of the optical lens relative to the lens holding element and specifying a starting value for the first contact point.
- the target specification is preferably provided dependent on and adapted to the application in which the method according to the invention is used, as has already been described by way of example.
- the lens holding element in the coordinate system of the optical lens is preferably described by a set of possible contact points, e.g. an edge curve of the optical lens when positioning a concave first lens surface on a flat support of the lens holding element or the projection of the blocking ring onto the first lens surface.
- the starting value for the first contact point can be selected from this set of possible contact points. This selection is also preferably made dependent on and adapted to the application in which the method according to the invention is used. For example, when a front surface of a spectacle lens is resting on a flat support, a point with the smallest arrow height can be selected as the first contact point, and when a back surface of a spectacle lens is resting on a flat support, a point with the largest arrow height can be selected as the first contact point.
- the method includes checking the resulting position of the optical lens for compliance with the target specification after the virtual rotation of the optical lens about the second axis of rotation; and determining a correction value for the first contact point if the target specification is not met to a required level of accuracy (i.e. within permitted tolerance deviations). If the target specification is met (or a deviation is within a permitted tolerance), the method can preferably output the position of the optical lens resulting from the virtual rotations about the first and second axes of rotation as the position to be determined, without a correction value for the first contact point being or having to be determined.
- the virtual rotation about a first axis of rotation, the virtual rotation about a second axis of rotation, the checking for compliance with the target and, if necessary, the determination a correction value for the first contact point is determined iteratively until compliance with the target specification is determined.
- the correction value for the first contact point can be determined using a Newton method.
- At least one coordinate of a target position of at least one reference point of the optical lens is provided as a target specification.
- a target specification e.g. a lens center
- two coordinates of the target position of the at least one reference point of the optical lens relative to the lens holding element are provided as a target specification. This is particularly advantageous in applications in which, for example, a lens center is to be aligned relative to a sensor center of a measuring device or a tool center of a processing device.
- At least one coordinate of a target orientation of the optical lens relative to the lens holding element is preferably provided as a target specification. This is particularly advantageous in applications in which, for example, a reference axis of a cylinder effect and/or a prism base is to be aligned relative to a measuring device or a processing device.
- the invention provides a method for processing at least one lens surface of an optical lens, comprising:
- an optical lens having a first lens surface with known surface data and a second lens surface to be machined
- Blocking the lens with the first lens surface on a lens holding element wherein the position (position and orientation) of the optical lens with respect to the lens holding element is determined by a method described here, in particular according to one of the preferred embodiments described here;
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of an optical lens held by a lens holding element
- Fig. 2A and 2B are schematic representations of virtual constellations between an optical lens and a lens holding element during a method according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows an exemplary positioning of a spectacle lens 10 as an example of a preferred optical lens, which has a first lens surface 12 and a second lens surface 14.
- Surface data are known at least for the first lens surface, which are made available to the method according to the invention.
- the surface data are made available, for example, as arrow heights in a coordinate system (x'-y'-z') of the spectacle lens in a database. In particular, they can originate, for example, from standard lens data (e.g. base curves) or from an individual surface optimization of a spectacle lens.
- Fig. 1 shows the coordinate system (x'-y'-z') of the spectacle lens (y' axis runs into the plane of the drawing).
- the exact shape of the second lens surface 14 does not have to be known for the method for determining the position and orientation of the spectacle lens.
- the aim is to determine the exact position (position and orientation), i.e. in particular (up to) three translational and (up to) three rotational parameters, of the spectacle lens 10 relative to a lens holding element 16 which holds the spectacle lens.
- the lens holding element 16 has a contact area 18 on which the spectacle lens 10 is arranged with the first lens surface 12 and against which the spectacle lens is pressed. This results in direct contact between the first lens surface 12 and the contact area 18.
- This position is naturally then stable if, for example, there are at least three contact points between the lens surface 12 and the contact area 18, which form a triangle through whose surface an axis of the force with which the spectacle lens 10 is pressed against the lens holding element passes.
- Fig. 1 also shows a coordinate system (x-y-z) (y-axis runs into the plane of the drawing), which is firmly defined in the system of the lens holding element.
- the exact coordinates of the first lens surface 12 in this coordinate system in the stable position depend in particular on the surface shape of the first lens surface 12 and the shape of the contact area 18.
- the aim is to determine this exact position of the first lens surface 12 and thus of the entire spectacle lens 10 relative to the lens holding element (i.e. in particular in the coordinate system of the lens holding element).
- the surface data of the spectacle lens which are initially made available in the coordinate system of the spectacle lens (x'-y'-z'), can be transformed into the coordinate system of the lens holding system (x-y-z).
- the individual (virtual) rotations and translations of the spectacle lens i.e. the transformed surface data
- Fig. 2 schematically shows some virtual, temporary positions during a determination of the (stable) position of the spectacle lens.
- surface data of the known first lens surface 12 is provided, in particular in a coordinate system of the spectacle lens 10.
- surface data of the contact area 18 of the lens holding element 16 is provided.
- the method is now intended to determine a stable contact between the spectacle lens 10 and the lens holding element 16 when a force acts on the spectacle lens, which presses the spectacle lens 10 with the first lens surface 12 against the contact area 18 of the lens holding element 16.
- force effect data of the holding force are also provided, which define at least one force application point 20 and a force direction 22 of the holding force.
- a constellation is to be described in which the spectacle lens is supported on a horizontal support surface under the effect of its own gravity. (contact area 18 of the lens holding element 16).
- the center of gravity of the spectacle lens 10 can thus be provided as the force application point 20.
- the spectacle lens protrudes laterally beyond the contact area 18.
- the contact area 18 could also protrude laterally beyond the spectacle lens.
- an initial position of the spectacle lens 10 relative to the lens holding element 16 is determined, at which a first contact point 30-1 results between the first lens surface 12 and the contact area 18.
- This first contact point 30-1 is provided in particular in the coordinate system (x-y-z) of the lens holding element 16.
- the method can particularly preferably be carried out in this coordinate system.
- the coordinate system is preferably defined as a right-handed coordinate system in which the z-axis is directed in the opposite direction of the force acting on the optical lens (e.g. spectacle lens 10).
- the x-axis is perpendicular to the z-axis and is otherwise freely selectable. In particular, it can be selected, for example, relative to (e.g. perpendicular to) an (initial) axis of the coordinate system used to describe the spectacle lens geometry (e.g. a y'-axis, which can represent a vertical axis of the spectacle lens in a position of use).
- a position is initially selected in which the spectacle lens touches the contact area 18 with the first lens surface 12, which is to be held by the lens holding element 16, and thus defines an initial coordinate transformation from the coordinate system used to describe the spectacle lens geometry and the coordinate system used to describe the support of the spectacle lens.
- a corresponding initial virtual position with the first contact point 30-1 is shown schematically in particular in Fig. 2A.
- the following steps are then preferably carried out, in particular recursively:
- the first contact point 30-1 is identified as the pivot point. If the resulting torque with respect to this pivot point is 0, the recursive process is terminated. If the torque is not 0, it generates a direction of rotation in which the lens is rotated, with the pivot point being held. The rotation is continued until at least a second contact point 30-2 of the lens surface 12 of the lens 10 with the contact area 18 of the lens holding element 16 is created.
- This virtual constellation is shown schematically in Fig. 2B. The rotation is taken into account in the coordinate transformation. The process continues recursively with the two contact points found.
- a coordinate transformation is found that describes the transition from the coordinate system used to describe the glass geometry to the coordinate system used to describe the support.
- the following algorithm for determining the flat support for a spectacle lens i.e. the back surface rests on a horizontal plane, is considered.
- the resulting force is given by the weight acting at the center of gravity of the spectacle lens.
- the support plane is preferably perpendicular to this force and forms the contact area of the lens holding element.
- the support plane is defined with respect to the spectacle lens in such a way that it also touches a point on the back surface (first surface) of the spectacle lens.
- the recursion described above is then carried out, whereby the resulting torque can be determined by the weight at the center of gravity with respect to the described pivot point or axis of rotation.
- the recursion is terminated when, for example, there are at least three points of contact between the spectacle lens and the support plane and these describe a convex hull within which the projection of the center of gravity perpendicular to the support plane is contained.
- a toric back surface it is possible, for example, that the contact points and the projection of the center of gravity lie on a straight line in the support plane and thus the lens comes to rest on only two contact points.
- a rest position of the lens on only one contact point is given, for example, when the flat support of a rotationally symmetrical, biconvex lens is determined.
