Apparatus and method for lens processing and processing device and measuring device for lenses

An apparatus configured to process lens comprising:

• two measuring devices,
• two processing devices,
• two conveying devices,
• a handling device, and
• a common housing, the two measuring devices, the two processing devices, and the two conveying devices located inside the common housing,
• the common housing having a partition wall, the partition wall located between and separating the two measuring devices and the two processing devices,
• wherein the common housing is subdivided by the partition wall into a measuring area and a processing area, the two conveying devices passing through the partition wall,
• wherein the handling device is movable between the measuring devices and the conveying devices and includes a handling unit configured to transfer the lenses from the measuring devices to the conveying devices, so that there is no fixed assignment of a measuring device to exactly one processing device, and
• wherein the transfer of lenses to be processed from their transport boxes to a selectable measuring device, from the measuring device to a selectable conveying device, as well as the transfer of finished processed lenses from the respective conveying device back to their transport boxes, is carried out via the handling device.

An apparatus configured to process lenses comprising:

• a first and a second measuring device configured to measure one or more of the lenses to be processed,
• a first and a second processing device configured to process one or more of the lenses,
• a handling device configured to selectively convey the lenses, after a measurement in one of the measuring devices, to the first or the second processing device, or to a conveying device assigned to a respective processing device, and
• a common housing, the first and second measuring device and the first and second processing device located within the common housing and separated by a partition wall, the conveying device passing through the partition wall.
