We now begin by grinding the initial radius into the blank and removing stock from the lens. Grinding is a mechanical process in which we use a series of different grit diamonds to step grind the surface similar to using a set of varying sandpaper grits to initially remove material and then step down to

May 05, 2010 A simple equation can be used to determine the amount of cylinder power in any meridian: F = F cyl *(SIN( )) 2 where F cyl is the cylinder power and is the angle between the cylinder axis and the new meridian. It is also easy to remember the major angles 30 , 45 , 60 , and 90 as 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the cylinder power respectively

Figure 6: All of the optical components in this photolithographic system are made of Zerodur. Another industrial use of Zerodur is as a structural material in assemblies where extreme dimensional stability is required. Zerodur can be shaped diamond grinding using CNC milling machines, so the fabrication of complex parts is possible

Oct 31, 2008 blank. A lens is typically ordered from a glass company in a form called a glass blank. From there, the lens goes through generation where the rough shape is ground into the blank. A lens is then blocked and undergoes further grinding to improve the surface and shape. Polishing is the final fine grinding stage where the surface and shape of the optic

In order to prepare the blank for prescription generation, there must be something fused to the blank to hold it in place in the generator
