A device for fine processing of optically effective surfaces on workpieces has a workpiece spindle which protrudes into a working space and by which a workpiece to be polished can be rotationally driven about a workpiece axis of rotation. Two tool spindles are associated with the workpiece spindle and protrude into the working space oppositely to the workpiece spindle. On each tool spindle, a polishing tool can be rotationally driven about a tool axis of rotation and is retained so that the polishing tool can be axially advanced along the tool axis of rotation. Furthermore, the tool spindles can be moved together in relation to the workpiece spindle along a linear axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the workpiece axis of rotation and can be pivoted about different pivoting adjustment axes, which extend substantially perpendicularly to the workpiece axis of rotation and substantially perpendicularly to the linear axis.

Device for fine processing of optically effective surfaces on, in particular, eyeglass lenses

The invention relates to a polishing disc for a tool for fine processing optically active surfaces on spectacle lenses, having a main body which has a central axis and to which an intermediate layer that is softer than the main body and is made of a resilient material is secured, a polishing medium carrier resting on the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer has at least two regions with different degrees of hardness, said regions being arranged one behind the other in the direction of the central axis of the main body. The intermediate layer region adjoining the main part is softer than the intermediate layer region on which the polishing medium carrier rests.

Polishing disc for a tool for fine processing of optically effective surfaces on spectacle lenses

A polishing disc for a tool for the fine machining of optically active surfaces, particularly on spectacle lenses as workpieces, comprises a main body which has a center axis and on which there is fixed an intermediate layer which is softer than the main body and on which a polishing agent carrier rests. The intermediate layer has, with respect to the center axis, a radial inner region of substantially constant axial thickness and an adjoining radial outer region. The latter is formed or is fixed to the main body in a particular way so as to prevent the edge of the polishing disc from being imprinted on the machined surface of the workpiece in the form of very fine, scratch-like microstructures. Also proposed is a simple method which can be used to produce such a polishing disc.

Polishing disc for a tool for the fine machining of optically active surfaces particularly on spectacle lenses and method for its production

A polishing disk for a tool for the fine machining of optically active surfaces on spectacle lenses in particular is disclosed, which comprises a support body, to which a foam layer is attached, wherein a polishing film bears against the foam layer. The polishing film is provided with at least one opening in a central region. During machining, the opening ensures pressure equalization and makes liquid polishing agent available from inside the foam layer, as a result of which better rinsing and cooling of otherwise disadvantaged regions of the polishing disk is achieved. As a result, a polishing disk of simple and cost-effective design is proposed, which is much more durable than the prior art while achieving high surface qualities.

Polishing disk for a tool for the fine machining of optically active surfaces on spectacle lenses in particular

A tool () is disclosed for fine machining of optically active surfaces (F), with a base body () that can be attached to a tool spindle of a machine tool, and an elastic membrane () that has a machining section () to which connects a gaiter section () by means of which the membrane is attached to the base body such that it can be rotated therewith. The base body and the membrane delimit a pressure medium chamber () which via a channel () can be optionally pressurized with a pressure medium in order to apply a machining pressure via the machining section during machining of the optically active surface. A guide element () guided longitudinally mobile on the base body is actively connected with the machining section so that the machining section can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the guide element and held in the transverse direction to the guide element, although under an elastic deformation of the gaiter section it is tilt-mobile in relation to the guide element. The result is a tool of simple design and reliable function which has an excellent adaptability to a wide range of geometries to be machined.
