Patent ID: 8342909

Claim:
A device for machining an ophthalmic lens, the device comprising: means ( 11 , 12 ) for supporting the ophthalmic lens and for driving the ophthalmic lens in rotation about a blocking axis (A 1 ), a machining module ( 35 ) that can be swiveled about a swivel axis (A 5 ) relative to the means ( 11 , 12 ) for supporting and driving the lens in rotation, said swivel axis (A 5 ) being not parallel to the blocking axis (A 1 ) of the lens, and at least one drilling tool ( 50 ) mounted to rotate on said machining module ( 35 ) about a first axis of rotation (A 6 ), the device being characterized in that it includes: at least one grooving and/or grinding tool ( 60 , 70 ) mounted to rotate on said machining module ( 35 ) about a second axis of rotation (A 7 ) distinct from and stationary relative to the first axis of rotation (A 6 ), and a motor and gearbox assembly ( 38 , 39 ) having a single motor ( 38 ) and adapted to drive said grooving and/or grinding tool ( 60 , 70 ) and said drilling tool ( 50 ) at different speeds of rotation.
