The invention relates to a polishing disc for a tool for fine processing optically active surfaces on spectacle lenses, having a main body which has a central axis and to which an intermediate layer that is softer than the main body and is made of a resilient material is secured, a polishing medium carrier resting on the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer has at least two regions with different degrees of hardness, said regions being arranged one behind the other in the direction of the central axis of the main body. The intermediate layer region adjoining the main part is softer than the intermediate layer region on which the polishing medium carrier rests.
A polishing disc for a tool for fine processing of optically effective curved surfaces on spectacle lenses, comprising a base body which has a center axis and a substantially symmetrical semi-spherical end surface about said center axis and to which is secured an intermediate layer of a resilient material, on which a polishing medium carrier rests, the intermediate layer being softer by comparison with the base body, characterized in that the intermediate layer has at least two regions of different hardness, which are arranged in succession in the direction of the center axis and which are formed by mutually different foam material layers, wherein the foam material layer adjoining the base body is softer than the foam material layer on which the polishing medium carrier rests, each layer having a substantially symmetrical semi-spherical surface about said center axis, and wherein, as determined for the case of whole-area compression, the static modulus of elasticity of the harder foam material layer is between 0.40 and 1.50 N/mm2, whereas the static modulus of elasticity of the softer foam material layer is between 0.25 and 0.45 N/mm2.
A tool for fine processing of optically effective curved surfaces at spectacle lenses, comprising a tool mounting head securable to a spindle shaft of a tool spindle to be capable of axial and rotational entrainment, characterized in that a polishing disc for a tool for fine processing of optically effective curved surfaces on spectacle lenses is exchangeably mounted on the tool mounting head, said polishing disc comprising a base body which has a center axis and a substantially symmetrical semi-spherical end surface about said center axis and to which is secured an intermediate layer of a resilient material, on which a polishing medium carrier rests, the intermediate layer being softer by comparison with the base body, wherein the intermediate layer has at least two regions of different hardness, which are arranged in succession in the direction of the center axis and which are formed by mutually different foam material layers, wherein the foam material layer adjoining the base body is softer than foam material layer on which the polishing medium carrier rests, each layer having a substantially symmetrical semi-spherical end surfact about said center axis, wherein, as determined for the case of whole-area compression, the static modulus of elasticity of the harder foam material layer is between 0.40 and 1.50 N/mm2, whereas the static modulus of elasticity of the softer foam material layer is between 0.25 and 0.45 N/mm2, and wherein for mounting purposes the base body of the polishing disc and the tool mounting head are provided with complementary structures for axial detenting and rotational entrainment of the polishing disc with and by the tool mounting head.
