Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus and a method for processing an optical lens, whereby a block piece for the lens is first processed by cutting and then is provided with markings for positioning the lens on the block piece.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. Method for processing an optical lens, comprising the steps of: marking a block piece for a lens that is to be processed with at least one marking for positioning of the lens on the block piece, and using the at least one marking for positioning of the lens on the block piece, wherein said at least one marking is applied using laser light, wherein the block piece is processed in a shape-imparting manner before marking, wherein the lens is connected to the block piece after marking and then is processed in a shaped-imparting manner with a turning tool and wherein processing of the block piece, marking of the block piece, and processing of the lens are carried out in the same device. 2. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the block piece is clamped in a receptacle and the marking of the block piece is done with the same receptacle of the block piece as during the processing of the block piece. 3. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the block piece is marked eccentrically for eccentric processing of the lens. 4. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the lens is a non-rotationally-symmetrical lens, and wherein the turning tool is moved based on the rotational position of the lens by means of a fast-tool drive.
