  • Patent number: 10189138
    Abstract: A spectacle lens manufacturing system, wherein a relationship between a type of a spectacle frame and a framing content is converted to a matrix, includes: an information memory part to store the matrix including a size correction value for a scheduled edging shape of a lens as a numerical value in the matrix; an edging information acquisition part to acquire edging information calculated based on client side information for manufacturing a spectacle lens, including spectacle lens, prescription value, frame, and tracer information, and spectacle lens manufacturing side information, and the size correction value selected from the matrix corresponding to the framing content and the frame type as numerical values in the matrix; an edger to edge a lens based on the edging information acquired by the edging information acquisition part. Even if either one of the client and manufacturing sides performs the framing step, the spectacle lens can be manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20160059373
    Abstract: A shape division method is provided for dividing spectacle lens three-dimensional shape data into data regarding shape element portions used for edging the spectacle lens, including: acquiring data regarding a projection shape of a circumferential edge of the spectacle lens as projection shape data based on the three-dimensional shape data; obtaining a prescribed circumscribed graphic shape circumscribing a projection shape specified by the projection shape data at each prescribed angle while changing a relative angle of the projection shape and the circumscribed graphic shape, and extracting data regarding a shape of an inside area common to each of all obtained circumscribed graphic shapes, as outermost edging shape data; and obtaining a differential area between a shape specified by the outermost edging shape data and the projection shape specified by the projection shape data, and extracting data regarding a shape portion of the obtained differential area as penetrated edging shape data.

  • Publication number: 20160031058
    Abstract: A lens edging method of performing edging to a spectacle-lens, using an edger equipped with a plurality of types of edging tools, including: a step of dividing an edging portion to be edged during edging of the spectacle-lens, into a plurality of shape element portions, based on three-dimensional shape data of the spectacle-lens; a step of allocating an edging tool used for edging each of the plurality of shape element portions, from the plurality of types of edging tools, in accordance with a previously set tool selection reference; an step of determining a using order of each edging tool allocated to each of the plurality of shape element portions, in accordance with a previously set using priority order; and a step of making the edger perform edging using each edging tool allocated in the tool allocation step, in accordance with the using order determined in the edging order determination step.
