Abstract

Progressive multifocal lens is a typical optical free-form surface element. Compared with the traditional spherical lens, the diopter of the far-view area and the near-view area of the progressive multifocal lens are different, and the diopter gradually changes smoothly in the intermediate transition area. The wearer can continuously and clearly see objects at different distances. However, due to the complex surface structure of the progressive multifocal lens, the machining cost is high, so its application is limited. In this study, a new machining method named single-point diamond ultra-precision turning technology based on fast tool servo (FTS) is proposed, which can achieve the fabrication of progressive multifocal lens with high finished surface quality and low manufacturing cost. In this paper, the three-dimensional geometric model of progressive multifocal lens surface is converted into equidistant spiral line according to the principle of turning non-rotational symmetric curved surface. In addition, the effect of spindle speed, feed rate and cutting depth on the finished surface quality of the progressive multifocal lens are investigated. The experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible for the sustainable and high-efficiency fabrication of progressive multifocal lens.
