Abstract: The invention relates to an unpacking device (30) which is designed to remove a thin-walled packaging wrapper (10) from a workpiece (1), having a processing station (P) having a workpiece receptacle (31) for receiving the workpiece (1), and having a pair of counter-rotating rollers (40, 41) which are mounted so as to be rotatable about counter-rotating axles (GA1, GA2) and between which is formed an intake gap (42). At least one of the counter-rotating rollers (40, 41) is driven so as to rotate about its counter-rotating axle (GA1, GA2) by a drive (43), the pair of counter-rotating rollers (40, 41) being disposed on a circumference (U) of the processing station (P) in such a manner and designed to induct the thin-walled packaging wrapper (10) into the intake gap (42). Moreover, the invention relates to a processing device having such an unpacking device 30, and to an unpacking method.

Abstract: A method for unpacking a workpiece, in particular an optical lens or an optical lens blank, from a package, includes an automated cutting open step of a first package side of the package, and an automated sliding of the workpiece out of the package step on the first package side. An unpacking apparatus for unpacking a workpiece from a package, has a feed station for receiving a package in which a workpiece is arranged, a cutting-open station having a first cutting or sawing tool for the automated cutting open of a first package side of the package downstream of the feed station, and a slide-out station downstream of the cutting-open station. A relative movement can be produced between the package and the workpiece in an automated manner so that the workpiece slides out of the package on the first package side.
