Abstract

Es wird ein Polierteller (10) für ein Werkzeug (12) zur Feinbearbeitung von optisch wirksamen Flächen (F) an insbesondere Brillengläsern (L) offenbart, der einen Trägerkörper (14) aufweist, an dem eine Schaumstoffschicht (16) befestigt ist, der eine Polierfolie (18) aufliegt. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Polierfolie in einem mittleren Bereich mit wenigstens einer Öffnung (20) versehen. Die Öffnung sorgt bei der Bearbeitung für einen Druckausgleich und stellt flüssiges Poliermittel aus dem Inneren der Schaumstoffschicht zur Verfügung, wodurch eine bessere Spülung und Kühlung sonst benachteiligter Poliertellerbereiche erzielt wird. Im Ergebnis wird ein denkbar einfach und kostengünstig aufgebauter Polierteller vorgeschlagen, der verglichen zum Stand der Technik bei Erzielung hoher Oberflächenqualitäten deutlich langlebiger ist.

Figure imgaf001
Disclosed is a polishing plate (10) for a tool (12) for fine machining of optically active surfaces (F) on, in particular, spectacle lenses (L), which has a carrier body (14) to which is attached a foam layer (16) which has a Polishing foil (18) rests. According to the invention, the polishing film is provided in a middle region with at least one opening (20). The orifice provides pressure equalization during processing and provides liquid polishing agent from inside the foam layer, thereby providing better rinsing and cooling of otherwise less favored beater areas. As a result, a conceivable simple and inexpensive constructed polishing plate is proposed, which is significantly more durable compared to the prior art in achieving high surface qualities.
