- the tool-holder shaft 75 remains in the vertical plane passing through the first axis A-A '.
- This shaft 75 carries a grinding wheel 81 for bevelling, a grinding wheel 83, and a drill bit 85 for drilling.
- the counter-beveling grinding wheel 81 has a diameter much smaller than that of the grinding wheels 21 A to 21 D of the wheel train. As illustrated in FIG. 5, this counter-beveling grinding wheel has on the outside a cylindrical median surface 87, framed by two frustoconical surfaces 89 and 91 which converge away from this surface. As illustrated in FIG. 5, it is a surface 89 having a relatively small apex half-angle, for example of the order of 35 °, and an opposite surface 91 having a apex half-angle relatively large, for example 55 °.
- the creasing wheel 83 comprises a single cylindrical central surface 92 of small width. In the example illustrated in Figure 5, the width of the cylindrical median surface is between 0.5 and 1.6 mm.
- the drilling forest 85 is mounted at the free end of the tool-holder shaft 75 and is aligned along the third axis C-C.
- the rotary drive motor 77 of the tool-holder shaft 75 is connected to this shaft 75 by transmission means comprising in particular a pulley 93 and a belt 95 ( Figure 1).
- the actuation means 79 of the tool-holder shaft 75 comprise (FIG. 1) an actuation motor 101, the output shaft 103 of which is provided at its end with a worm screw 105. This worm screw 105 cooperates with a tangent toothed wheel secured to the support 71.
- These actuating means 79 rotate the support 71 around the pivot axis on an angular displacement of at least 30 °, and preferably 180 °. Consequently, during this rotational movement, the angle formed between the third axis CC and the first axis AA 'or the second axis BB' varies at least between 0 and 30 ° and preferably between 0 and 180 °.
- the control unit 19 makes it possible to control, on the one hand, the movement of the grinding wheel support 22 in the axial direction and, on the other hand, the movement of the carriage 31 around the articulation shaft 43. Thus, this unit control 19 coordinates the relative movement of the lens support relative to the train of grinding wheels.
- this control unit is provided with synchronization means (not shown) making it possible to simultaneously control the axial movement of the grinding wheel support 22 and the movement of the carriage 31 around the articulation shaft, according to a predefined control law .
- synchronization means (not shown) making it possible to simultaneously control the axial movement of the grinding wheel support 22 and the movement of the carriage 31 around the articulation shaft, according to a predefined control law .
- the support 71 is oriented so that the arm 73 and the tool-holder shaft 75 are in a retracted position under the wheel train 21.
- the space situated above grinding wheels 21 A to 21 D is completely free.
- the blank 35 is wedged between the two ends 47A and 47B of the half-shafts 33A and 33B by an adapter suitably positioned on the blank.
- an adapter suitably positioned on the blank.
- the control unit 19 controls the axial displacement means of the grinding wheel support 22 and the radial displacement means 39 of the carriage 31 to position the lens blank 35 in contact with the roughing grinding wheel 21A.
- the motor for rotating 37 of the lens blank 35 relative to the second axis B-B ' is then actuated to rotate this blank 35 around this second axis B-B'.
- the distance between the first axis AA 'and the second axis BB' is adjusted according to the angular position of the blank 35 around the second axis B-B ', depending on the shape of the mount. glasses on which the lens will be fitted after treatment. In the same way, the lens is then brought to the finishing wheel with beveling 21 C.
- the blank then has its final outline.
- a drilling operation is then carried out.
- the grinding wheel support 22 is positioned at the end of the axial stroke.
- This limit switch corresponds to a position of the grinding wheel support 22 at the extreme right of FIG. 1.
- the carriage 31 is moved away from the grinding wheel train 21 by displacement of the guide rod 53 upwards until a radial limit switch.
- the actuating motor 101 of the tool holder assembly 17 is then activated.
- the rotation of the output shaft 103 of this motor 101 rotates the worm 105 around an axis parallel to the first axis AA ′.
- This endless screw 105 cooperates with the toothed wheel provided on the support 71.
- the support 71 is then driven in rotation about its pivot axis D-D '.
- This rotational movement of the support 71 causes the pivoting of the tool-holder shaft 75 about the pivot axis DD 'in the vertical plane passing through the axis A-A', from the retracted position shown in Figure 3 , located under the wheel train, in an active position shown in Figure 4, located above the wheel train.
- the control unit 19 determines the angle formed by the tangent to the external or internal surface of the lens blank 35 at the point of drilling of this blank 35 and the direction perpendicular to the second axis BB 'which passes through this drilling point. This angle is designated by g in FIG. 5.
- the angle ⁇ depends on the curvature of the lens blank 35.
- the actuating motor 101 of the tool holder assembly 17 is deactivated when the angle formed by the third axis C-C and the second axis B- B 'is equal to this angle g.
- the means of axial displacement of the support 22 and the means of radial displacement 51 of the carriage 31 are then controlled to bring the end of the forest 85 into contact with the drilling point ( Figure 4).
- the forest 85 is then perpendicular to the external surface of the lens blank 35, whatever the curvature of this blank.
- the rotary drive motor 77 of the tool holder shaft 75 is then activated.
- the means of axial displacement of the support and the means of radial displacement 39 of the carriage 31 are then controlled by the synchronization means of the control unit 19 to move in translation the tool-holder shaft 75 along the third axis CC while maintaining the inclination of this third axis CC relative to the second axis BB 'constant and equal to ⁇ , during the entire drilling operation. More precisely, during drilling, the support 22 moves to the left and the carriage 31 moves downwards so that the drilling point moves exactly along the axis CC.
- the angle formed by the third axis CC and the second axis BB ' is controlled before a counter-bevel operation so that the angle of attack between the surface of the counter-bevel grinding wheel 81 and the edge quick to machine the lens blank 35 is equal to a predetermined value regardless of the curvature of this blank.
- the angle of inclination of the third axis CC relative to the second axis BB ' is controlled before a creasing operation so that the median plane P of the creasing wheel 85 is for example parallel to the tangent to the convex surface of the lens blank at the sharp edge, or parallel to a direction intermediate between the tangents of the convex and concave surfaces.
