Abstract:
1. A lens deblocking system, comprising: (a) first and second opposed movable arms, the first arm being adapted to move toward the second arm within a substantially horizontal plane and to grip a first object between the first arm and the second arm; (b) a collet closer; (c) a clamp, the clamp residing within the collet closer and being adapted to grip a second object, the second object being rigidly affixed to the first object; (d) a base plate, the collet closer being rotatably affixed to the base plate such that the collet closer is capable of rotation about a substantially vertical axis; and (e) a cam arm, the cam arm being linked to the collet closer such that a substantially horizontal force acting on the cam arm causes rotation of the collet closer about a substantially vertical axis, thereby imparting a rotational force to both the first object and the second object.
