Abstract:
A device for edge-machining an optical lens, which may be clamped between two aligned holding shafts rotatable about a rotational axis of a workpiece, having a first slide, which is guided longitudinally displaceably on a base frame in a first direction parallel to the rotational axis of the workpiece, and a second slide bearing a tool post with an edge-machining tool for the optical lens, which slide is guided longitudinally displaceably on the first slide in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in such a way that the edge-machining tool may be brought into machining engagement with the optical lens; wherein the base frame is of substantially O-shaped construction and surrounds the first slide, and wherein the first slide is likewise of substantially O-shaped construction and surrounds the second slide.
