Abstract:
1. A lens edging system of a spectacle lens which edges a spectacle lens for settling a lens in a spectacle frame, comprising: a lens edger having a lens edging section to perform edging, and a first calculating section to obtain edging shape data used for edging by the lens edging section, based on a first calculation program; and an edging control terminal having a second calculating section to obtain edging shape data used for edging by the lens edging section, based on a second calculation program different from the first calculation program, wherein the lens edger includes a calculation switching section configured to switch a setting of a calculating section so as to select either one of the first calculating section and the second calculating section for calculating edging shape data used for at least the edging in each kind of calculation items regarding the edging, and a data acquisition section configured to acquire edging shape data calculated by the second calculating section from the edging control terminal when the edging shape data is calculated by the second calculating section, wherein when the calculation switching section switches the setting of the calculating section so as to select the second calculating section for calculating the edging shape data, the edging shape data calculated by the second calculating section is acquired by the data acquisition section, and the spectacle lens is edged into a desired finish shape, irrespective of a maker or a model of the lens edger, by acquiring the edging shape data by the data acquisition section, the edging shape data being calculated by the second calculating section, and performing edging by the lens edging section using the acquired edging shape data.
