Note: Selecting Manual finishing (beveling, groovi ng) leads to a modification in the standard
edging cycle sequence.

3.2.4.5 IMPORTANT NOTES


3.2.4.5.1 WHEN JOB DATA ARE RECEIVED
> If the job provides the edging data, they are displayed automatically.
Example: If the job finishing is a bevel, the finishing displayed will automatically be Bevel.
> If the job provides no edging data, the characteristics configured by default (see Configuration of finishing
parameters default values, chapter 4) are displayed automatically.
Example: If the default finishing is Bevel and the type is Auto, the displayed finishing will be Bevel
and the sub-finishing will be Bevel Auto.
> If the job specifies data which have been excluded from the edger configuration, an « Incompatible edger
configuration » message is displayed (see , chapter 5).
> If you modify the job data before starting to edge one of the lenses, the new characteristics will be
memorised automatically and applied to the two lenses.
Caution! Check the parameter values of the two lenses.
> The lens characteristics (material and type) determine the types of finishing available.
Example: A mineral lens cannot be drilled. Drilling finishing is therefore not available in the finishings
pull-down menu when Mineral lens material is selected.
3.2.4.5.2 DURING EDGING OF THE SECOND LENS
 Always check that the preselected type of finishing is the finishing that you wish to apply.
In fact, the finishing selected for the first lens is automatically memorised and preselected for the
following lens (see “Edging several lenses identically”, page 77 and see “Edging the left lens with
different parameters from those of the right lens”, page 76).
 Check the parameter values.

Do you want to drill another hole?

Yes No

Confirm the step.

Remarks
• The current hole is shown by a red cross.
• The previously selected hole is shown by pink circle.
• To position a hole from the edge of the lens, your entered value should be within [-2,5 mm, +15 mm].
• To position a hole measured with reference to another hole, your entered value should be within
[-15 mm, +15 mm].
• Elongated holes are defined between the currently edited point and the previous point.
3.4.2.2 FACTS WORTH KNOWING
> Drilling, if it is selected, is the last step in the edging process.
> If you do not want holes, ensure that no hole has been entered in the drilling tab.
> Elongated holes and notches are always machined from the edge of the lens towards the centre.
> Characteristics of the diameter of a hole:
→ The diameter of a drilled hole is always greater or equal to that of the mill bit which is fitted.
→ Special case: If the diameter of the fitted bit is greater than the diameter of the hole and you have confirmed
the warning message « Bit diameter > hole diameter. Do you wish to drill? », the hole diameter will be
equal to the diameter of the bit.
→ Lenses are always drilled at a 10° angle with reference to the front face.

> The smallest hole diameter that can be drilled with the mill bit is 1 mm.
Min. hole diameter = 1 mm (bit dia.)

3-61
Using your Edger...Usual procedure

Note: When the job is received on the edger, if it includes at least one hole whose diameter
is smaller than that of the bit, the machine will display the following warning
message: « Bit diameter > hole diameter. Do you want to drill? » If you reply Yes:
The minimum diameter of the holes will be equal to the bit dia meter. If you reply
No: the entire drilling plan will be ignored and no hole will be drilled. The lens
will be finished in rimless.

3.4.2.3 HINTS
 When the edging cycle is finished, remove the edged lens without removing the block so as to be able to
retouch it if necessary.

3.4.2.4 LIMITS
> The total number of holes and notches is limited.
→ The limit is ten holes per lens, for all types of holes.
> Retouching is not possible on a drilled lens. The Oversize/Retouch key is therefore not available.

3.5.2 APPLYING AN OVERSIZE


3.5.2.1 WHY?
If you find that the overthickness applied to the job by default is not suitable, you can decide to apply an oversize
which will be applied to the lens to be edged.

3.5.2.2 HOW?
3.5.2.2.1 PRELIMINARY CONDITION
> You must enter the oversize value BEFORE edging the lens.
3.5.2.2.2 PROCEDURE
From the main application screen (Edging tab), after selecting all the job characteristics, proceed as follows.
Note: Using the touch screen, press the zones or buttons shown.

Enter the correction value.

Check the entered value.

Flow chart 3-6: Entering an oversize value

3.5.2.2.3 RESULT:
= The lens is edged and the initial dimension has been increased or decreased by the entered value.
> You may check the lens diameter with a digital caliper and retouch it if necessary.
3.5.2.3 HINTS
 Always check that the type of oversize displayed is indeed that which you wish to apply.
3.5.2.4 IMPORTANT NOTES
> The retouch is applied to the width of the lens. The height of the lens is recalculated to retain the proportions
of the initial shape.
> For the same job, the oversizing applied to the right lens is not automatically applied to the left lens.
> In the case of a new edging cycle for the same lens (also called «re-edging»), the oversizing applied to the
first lens will be automatically applied to the second.

3.5.5.6.2 PROCEDURE
To produce a manual groove:
1. Start the edging process
2. Enter its characteristics.
3. Proceed as shown on the flow chart ”Producing a manual groove 3-12”.

3.5.5.6.3 HINTS
 When the edging cycle is finished, remove the lens from the edging chamber without removing the block
so as to be able to retouch it if necessary.
 Check the lens dimensions and finishing.

3.5.5.6.4 IMPORTANT NOTES


> Only plastics can be grooved.
> The minimum thickness of the lens must be equal to or greater than 1mm to produce a groove.
> The groove position can be modified in 4 ways: Right or left offset, width and depth modifications. Only the
middle of the groove is displaced along this point. The opposite side remains fixed and the curve of the groove
is unchanged.
> The relationship between the minimum Lens face - Groove edge distance and the depth of the groove will
always be adjusted automatically to guarantee the lens resistance.

3.5.5.6.5 LIMITS
> If the maximum thickness of the lens is less than 2 mm, the applied groove will automatically be of 50% type,
whichever type of groove is selected initially.
> To make a groove of any type, the minimum distance between the front face of the lens and the front edge
of the groove (or the rear face and rear edge) must be greater than 0.4 mm. If it is less than 0.4 mm at any
point of the lens, the groove will not be produced.
> The safety-bevel(s) of a grooved lens will be maintained if the retouch value is less than 0.2mm to the
diameter.

3.5.5.7 FEEL THE LENS AGAIN


> If the diameter of the lens being felt is too small, the warning message "Lens too small" is displayed and you
transfer to the manual finishing screen.
You may then feel the lens three times successively. The lens is felt 0.5 mm closer to the interior
each time.
If the three successive feeling operations are not enough, the lens is too small and cannot be edged.
Confirm the message.
Complete the cycle and retrieve the lens.

> If irregular points have been detected during the first phase of the cycle, the message "Irregular points" is
displayed and you transfer to the manual finishing screen. We advise you to repeat the lens feeling cycle.

Thicknesses:
Maximum thickness at the edge of the uncut (plastic) lens = 18 mm
Maximum thickness at the edge of the uncut (mineral) lens = 16 mm
Minimum thickness at the centre of the uncut lens = 1.2 mm.
If the thickness of the finished lens (rimless finishing) detected during lens
feeling > 11 mm (17 mm for bevel finishing on a plastic lens - 15 mm for bevel
finishing on a mineral lens), edging is impossible
→ Shape
Minimum height of the shape in rimless = 17.50 mm
Minimum height of the shape in bevel = 19.10 mm.
→ Minimum lifespan of the edging wheels:
Mineral roughing = 10000 lenses
Plastic roughing = 50000 lenses
Finishing = 8000 lenses - 10000 lenses
Polishing = 6000 lenses
Safety-bevel = 5000 lenses per wheel side
Grooving = 5000 lens.
→ Beveling
Minimum lens thickness to produce the type of bevel desired = 2 mm
If maximum thickness of felt lens less than 2 mm, the bevel is automatically type
1/2 - 1/2.
→ Grooving
Minimum/maximum width = 0.6 to 1.2 mm
Minimum/maximum depth = 0 to 0.8 mm.
Minimum distance between the front face of the lens and the front edge of the
groove (or rear face and rear edge) to produce a groove = 0.2 mm.
→ Drilling
Minimum hole diameter = diameter of the mill bit, i.e. 1 mm
Lifespan of the mill bit = 1 hr of total drilling, all lens materials together
Maximum hole depth (= length of the mill bit) = 8 mm
Maximum hole diameter = 10 mm
Angle = 10°
Accuracy of the drilling angle = +/- 1°
Positioning of holes = +/- 0.1 mm
Maximum ten holes per lens, for all types of holes.
An elongated hole, a countersunk hole or a notch count for two holes.

3.6.3.2 LIMITS OF HOLE POSITIONING


> Whatever the type of hole, it must be drilled in a specific zone which is defined following the diagrams below.
> The following constraints must be observed:
→ The circle radius beyond which drilling is possible:

Min. distance from centre of block -> centre of


hole = 19 mm

Zone inside which drilling is not permitted.

Zone inside which drilling is permitted.

Note: When it is impossible to drill a hole (hole positioned in the end-pieces, notch passing
through the centre of the shape, this hole is shown in black in the screen. Some
holes displayed in blue in the screen may be impossible to drill after they have
been felt (holes too deep, unadapted angle, unadapted end-piece, etc.). In these
cases, these holes will be displayed in gray in the screen and only marked with
the mill bit end (with maximum inclination angle) during the drilling phase, once
the operator has accepted the marking.
→ The ring formed by the edge of the lens and the internal perimeter of the lens beyond which
drilling is not permitted:

Max. distance from drill bit centre -> edge of


lens = 12 mm

Zone inside which drilling is not permitted.

Zone inside which drilling is permitted.

ALL HOLES, WHATEVER THE TYPE, MUST BE WITHIN A 12 mm RING.

Note: If a job includes a hole placed at a distance of more than 12 mm from the edge of the
shape, the following message is displayed: « Hole deleted. At least one of the
holes cannot be drill ed. Do you want to continue? ». If you reply Yes: The entire
drilling plan is ignored, the lens is not drilled and finished in rimless. If you r eply
No, you can remove the lens from the drilling chamber.

3-90
Using your Edger...Operating ranges:

3.6.3.3 LIMITS RELATED TO THE THICKNESS OF THE LENS


The position of the hole and the strength of the lens to be drilled effect the drilling depth. These two parameters
can cause non-through holes which must then be finished manually.

→ Thick lenses ( = thickness in the direction of drilling > 8 mm )


For lenses of high thickness and for high drilling radii (distance from centre of block to centre of hole),
it is possible that the maximum drilling length in the drilling direction may be exceeded. This results
in a non-through hole.

Caution!
Non-through hole for lens
thickness > 8 mm

Example: Drilling 30 mm from the blocking centre at 0° in a lens of strength -7 D will produce a
through hole.

→ Lenses with high front base


For lenses of high front base and for high drilling radii (distance from centre of block to centre of
hole), it is possible that the mill bit retaining nut may interfere with the lens. If so, the edger
automatically limits the drilling depth to avoid this type of damage to the lens. However this may
produce a non-through hole.

Example: Drilling 19 mm from the blocking centre at 0° in a lens of strength +7 D will produce a
through hole.
