Abstract
A processing system for processing spectacle lenses and a method for processing spectacle lenses are proposed. The processing system has several processing stations, in particular a milling station, a turning station, a polishing station, a cleaning station and/or a signing station. Furthermore, the processing system has a transport system for transporting the spectacle lenses and/or transport containers for the spectacle lenses. Preferably, the processing system also has a common base frame and/or a common casing for the processing stations. In the processing system and/or with the method, several spectacle lenses can be processed simultaneously in different processing stations.

A processing system configured to process spectacle lenses comprising:
- several processing stations, the several processing stations configured to perform different processing operations,
- a transport system configured to transport the spectacle lenses and/or transport containers for the spectacle lenses within the processing system, and
- a common casing surrounding the processing stations and the transport system,
- wherein the processing system has a handling apparatus for the spectacle lenses and a linear guide on which the handling apparatus is arranged, wherein the linear guide is arranged parallel to the transport system, the handling apparatus is linearly movable along the linear guide parallel to the transport system and is assigned to a plurality of the several processing stations, and
- wherein the handling apparatus is configured to:
- transfer spectacle lenses between the transport system and at least one of the several processing stations, and to transfer spectacle lenses directly between two of the several processing stations.
