Apparatus and method for working an optical lens and also an optical lens and a transporting container for optical lenses

摘要

A device and a method for processing an optical lens are proposed, whereby lens-production data and/or geometric data of the lens are determined from desired optical data of the lens when a corresponding activation code is acquired. Preferably, the lens or a block piece and/or an assigned shipping container is/are provided with the activation code and/or other information relative to the lenses that are to be processed.

主权项

1. Apparatus for processing an optical lens,
with a processing device for cutting or other shape-giving processing of at least one of a front side and rear side of a particular lens to be processed based on geometric or production data, wherein the apparatus or a control device of the apparatus has or uses a design module, the design module comprising a design model adapted to receive desired optical data for determining the geometric or production data relating to characteristics of a particular lens for processing of said at least one of the front side and rear side of a particular lens,
the apparatus further comprising an acquisition device adapted for acquiring an activation code necessary for use of the design modelwherein the apparatus, control device or design module is adapted to check whether the activation code is for enabling determining of the geometric or production data by said design model based upon the desired optical data of the lens only after acquisition of an activation code that is permissible, andwherein the design model uses or is adapted to receive the optical data for a particular lens, and the activation code is required for using the design model for determining the geometric or production data for the lens without the activation code being specific for a particular lens.
