A conventional toroidal lens processing apparatus 22
As shown in FIG. 8, a cylindrical lens substrate 26 is mounted on a rotary main shaft 24 of a lathe, and the substrate 26 is cut by a cutting tool 30 mounted on an XY table 28 driven by NC control. At this time, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 26a of the base 26 is the radius of the generatrix, and the horizontal plane including the axis and the inner peripheral surface 26a
The radius of curvature of the line of intersection with is the sagittal radius. XY table 2

[0004] The base material 26 is removed in the radial direction after the completion of the cutting process to obtain a plurality of lens elements 32 shown in FIG. The lens element 32 has a shape in which the sagittal radius of curvature is R and the radius of curvature of the generatrix continuously decreases from r 1 at both ends to r 2 at the center.

According to the above-mentioned conventional processing method, if it is attempted to process a lens element having an extremely small generatrix radius of curvature r2 at the center as shown in FIG. Thus, the hole of the base material 26 is narrowly narrowed at the center, and the cutting tool 30 interferes with the hole and cannot proceed to the back. For this reason, processing of this type of lens element 34 has conventionally been impossible.

Conventionally, the radius of the end of the hole (generating radius of curvature) of the hole of the base material 26 for inserting the cutting tool 30 has to be a predetermined size. Thus FIGS. 6 (a) to sagittal curvature radius R is relatively small as shown, bus radius of curvature from the r 2 of the central portion of the shape is extremely small as going to r 1 of the end portion of the lens element 33 Processing has also been considered impossible.
Further, since the XY table 28 was conventionally used, when switching the XY table 28 from the forward movement to the backward movement,
That is, in the case of processing the lens element 32 as shown in FIG. 5A, when the XY table 28 is returned to the Y direction when the XY table 28 is returned beyond the center of the toroidal surface 42 of the lens element 32 in FIG. It cannot be avoided that the table does not move momentarily in the Y direction by the amount of the backlash. Therefore, the processing accuracy of the lens element 32 is limited.

Further, conventionally, when the lens substrate 26 is long in the axial direction, even if the cutting tool 30 is extended, chattering is likely to occur during processing and the weight of the substrate 26 increases, so that the lens substrate 26 is substantially long. Processing of a long lens substrate or a long lens element was impossible.

When the cutting tool is attached to the rotating main shaft at the sagittal radius radius position and rotated to hit the base material, a thin sagittal curvature surface is formed on the surface of the base material. When the rotating table is rotated in this state, the rotational shape of the sagittal curvature surface around the axis of the rotating table, that is, a toroidal surface is formed on the base material surface. The distance between any point on the toroidal surface and the axis of the rotary table forms a generatrix radius of curvature.

In addition, the cutting edge of the cutting tool is directed outward, and the cutting surface of the base material faces the axis side of the rotary table on the opposite side to the rotating spindle, thereby forming a toroidal surface in which both the generatrix and the sagittal curvature are concave. You. This type of toroidal surface cannot be realized by the conventional method of cutting the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical base material with a cutting tool, because it is impossible to insert a cutting tool deeper particularly at a location where the bus curvature radius is small.

Next, the operation of the processing device 35 will be described. The rotating spindle 24 is rotated so that the cutting tool 30
When the cutting edge is applied, a small sagittal curved surface having a radius R is formed on the surface of the base material 36. When the rotation table 38 is slowly rotated in this state, the base material 36 is cut, and a rotation surface around the axis L2 of the sagittal curvature surface, that is, a toroidal surface 42 is formed on the surface. When the generatrix radius of curvature of the toroidal surface 42 is r 1 at the maximum and r 2 at the minimum, the distance from the axis L2 to the upper and lower ends of the toroidal surface 42 is r 1 , and the distance from the center to r 2 is r 2. The rotation table 38 is moved in the X direction in FIG.

As can be seen from FIG. 2, in the present apparatus 35, the substrate 36 can be brought as close as possible to the axis L2. For this reason, the toroidal surface 4 as shown in FIG.
The lens element 34 having a very small radius of curvature r 2 at the center of the lens element 2 can be machined. Extremely speaking,

In the prior art, the influence of the backlash of the feed mechanism of the XY table 28 appears at the position of the radius of curvature r2. However, in the present apparatus, since the rotary table 38 is used, the influence of such backlash is completely lost. Absent. Therefore, the toroidal surface 42 can be finished with high accuracy over the entire surface.

In addition, since the present apparatus cuts the outer surface of the base material 36 instead of cutting the base material 36 with the cutting tool 30 by cutting a hole, the long base material 36 can be cut. Further, since the rotation table 38 rotates slowly, stable cutting can be performed even for a relatively large and large base material 36.

In this device 44, the cutting edge of the cutting tool 30 faces outward and the processing surface of the base material 36 is located closer to the cutting tool 30 than the axis L2, so that the sagittal curvature surface is concave on the surface of the base material 36, and the generatrix curvature surface.

As described above, according to the present invention, the base material on the rotary table is processed by the tool attached to the rotary spindle, so that the direction of the cutting edge and the position of the base material processing surface on the rotary table are changed. Accordingly, it is possible to process various types of toroidal surfaces including a toroidal surface having a shape that has been impossible in the past. For example, the radius of the concave busbar curvature surface having a convex sagittal curvature surface which has been considered impossible in the past, the radius of the concave busbar curvature surface is extremely small at the center, or the busbar curvature radius having the concave sagittal curvature surface is at the end. It becomes possible to process toroidal surfaces that become smaller as they go. Further, since the present invention does not use the XY table, it is possible to eliminate a processing error caused by backlash. Further, according to the present invention, since the toroidal surface is processed without forming a hole in the base material, a long toroidal surface can be easily processed from a long base material. Further, since the base material is supported on the rotating table, a relatively heavy long base material can be stably processed.
