Abstract
A lens deblocking system () used for removing a lens () from an edging block (). The system () includes opposed movable arms () that are constrained to travel longitudinally within an aperture () so as to grip a lens () that is adhesively secured to an edging block by a pad (). The edging block () is held within a clamp () that resides on a collet closer () which may be rotated by activating an air cylinder (). A cam push block () is linked to file cylinder () as well as a cam arm () that is attached to a spindle () extending from the collet closer (). In response to the movement of the push block () a rotational motion is imparted to the clamp () via the cam arm (). The rotation of the clamp () occurs while the lens () is still constrained against rotational movement between the movable arms () thereby physically breaking the bond between the pad () and the clamp () and permitting subsequent manual removal of the pad () from the lens ().
