Abstract

See full text

A system for generating toric optical surfaces having two different radii (or axes) of curvature with accurate centration. A multiplicity of such surfaces for use as lenses are simultaneously created. Each surface is mounted transversely to the periphery of a spinning disk of a radius equal to one of the desired arcs. Generating, lapping and polishing tools are rotated about an axis perpendicular to the disk's axis but displaced from the disk's axis by an amount equal to the difference between the radii of the desired arcs.
