Abstract
A device and a method for polishing of an optical lens by means of rotary tool are proposed, a fixture for the lens being pivotable around a pivoting axis transversely to the axis of rotation by means of a push-rod adjustment and being pivotable up out of a machining position such that the lens can be changed from overhead. This allows a compact structure and easy changing of the lens.

A device for machining of an optical lens by means of a tool which can be turned around a turning axis, comprising:
- a fixture for holding a blocked lens;
- a motor for rotating the lens, during machining, around an axis of rotation;
- and
- a working space in which the machining of the lens takes place;
- wherein the fixture is pivotable transversely to the axis of rotation around a pivoting axis by means of a push-rod adjustment device.
A device for machining of an optical lens by means of a tool which can be turned around a turning axis, comprising:
- a fixture for holding the lens;
- a motor for rotating the lens during machining around an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation running at least essentially horizontally during machining in a machining position;
- and
- a working space in which the machining of the lens takes place;
- wherein the fixture is pivotable up out of the machining position around a pivoting axis such that the fixture points up.
A method for machining of an optical lens by means of a tool which turns around an at least essentially horizontal turning axis, comprising the steps of:
- rotating the lens being rotated around an axis of rotation which is tilted or pivoted relative to the turning axis and
- adjusting or moving the lens in a vertical direction relative to the tool.
