Cut and Feed Parameters
Description
Initial CT
(Imported from Lens Blank Parameters) Center Thickness (CT) of lens blank,
or from previous process if one exists.
Clean Up CT
(Calculated) Maximum Center Thickness (CT) to ensure entire surface is cut.
Finished CT
User inputted final Center Thickness (CT) for this process.
Safety Height
Rapid Feed threshold, offset from lens surface. Since position of tool-lens
contact is calculated and does not account for imperfections in lens or
blocking, or any input errors, the machine will switch from “Rapid Feed” to
the commanded “Feed Rate” at this distance.
Use a larger safety height for
initial job setup to help prevent collisions.
Cut Type
Select from two feed methods:
a.
Z: Feed direction is in the Z-axis only.
b.
XZ: Feed direction is in the X and Z axes simultaneously to follow the
path dictated by the head angle.
Lens RPM
Rotational speed of the work spindle.
Tool RPM
Rotational speed of the tool spindle.
