A high volume lens curing system is described. The high volume lens curing system is configured to cure multiple eyeglass lenses in a continuous manner.

System for preparing eyeglass lenses with bar code reader

Holder for mold assemblies and molds

A high volume lens curing system is described. The high volume lens curing system may be configured to cure multiple eyeglass lenses in a continuous manner. The system may include ones or more lens curing units, a mold assembly, mold assembly holders and/or a conveyor system. At least one lens curing unit may include a heating system.

System for preparing an eyeglass lens using a mold holder

Graphical interface for monitoring usage of components of a lens forming apparatus

Method of preparing an eyeglass lens with a controller

A high volume lens curing system is described. The high volume lens curing system may be configured to cure multiple eyeglass lenses in a continuous manner. An embodiment of a system may include a mold assembly, a lens curing apparatus, a mold filling apparatus and a controller. In some embodiments, the system may include a conveyor system and/or a coating apparatus.

System for preparing eyeglasses lens with filling station

A high volume lens curing system is described. The high volume lens curing system is configured to cure multiple eyeglass lenses in a continuous manner. The lens curing system includes a computer-implemented method configured to collect prescription information, save prescription information, and generate one or more job tickets. One or more of the job tickets may be readable by a monitoring device.

Graphical interface for receiving eyeglass prescription information

Method of monitoring components of a lens forming apparatus

Systems and methods for storing, locating, identifying and coating eyeglass lens mold members for use in the production of eyeglass lenses are disclosed. An embodiment includes storing eyeglass lens mold members in a storage array. A plurality of indicators may be coupled to the storage array and associated with storage locations. A controller may be configured to select mold members, and to identify the locations of the mold members. A user may input mold member identifying information. The controller may activate indicators associated with determined storage location. A mold reader may be used to input the mold member identifying information. The mold reader may detect a light pattern formed by illumination of the identifying information and determine the identity of the mold member based on the light pattern. Additional embodiments relate to separating a cast lens from a lens mold. Such embodiments may include a clamping mechanism for elastically deforming the lens mold. The lens mold and lens may then be separated by applying a separating force.

Methods and systems for coating eyeglass lens molds

Method for automatically shutting down a lens forming apparatus

Graphical interface to display mold assembly position in a lens forming apparatus

A high volume lens curing system is described. The high volume lens curing system may be configured to cure multiple eyeglass lenses in a continuous manner. An embodiment of the lens curing system includes an apparatus for preparing an eyeglass lens. The apparatus may include ones or more lens curing units, a mold assembly and mold assembly holders. At least one lens curing unit may include a heating system.

Apparatus for preparing an eyeglass lens having a heating system

Computerized controller for an eyeglass lens curing apparatus

A lens forming apparatus for preparing a plastic eyeglass lens includes a first lens curing unit, a second lens curing unit and a conveyor system for moving mold assemblies between the two units. The apparatus may also include an anneal unit configured to apply heat to a substantially polymerized lens. The apparatus may be used to form an eyeglass lens from a lens forming composition that may include an aromatic containing polyether polyethylenic functional monomer, a photoinitiator, and a coinitiator. The lens forming composition may be cured by the application of activating light or activating light and heat.
