ABSTRACT:
A patternless edger apparatus is described which is mountable on mechanical pattern ophthalmic lens grinders. The apparatus has a mounting yoke adapted for mounting the apparatus in the place of the mechanical patterns to control the edge grinding of a lens blank. The mounting yoke includes a rotative spindle mount to interlock with the grinder pattern chuck and a mounting shaft releasably receivable in the spring clip bore of such lens grinders. A stored lens pattern and signalling from a grinder spindle rotational angle transducer are acted on by a microprocessor to control a motorized cam operative on the grinder pattern reaction surface to control the grinder to grind a lens blank to a perimeter shape corresponding to the stored lens pattern.
