This invention discloses a lens
grinding equipment and an automatic lens loading and unloading method. The equipment includes multiple
grinding chambers and an automatic loading and unloading mechanism, a first
robotic arm, a second
robotic arm, an unprocessed material area, a finished product area, a
fixed position, and a finished product waiting position. The first
robotic arm is equipped with a gripper and a first suction cup. The gripper moves the unprocessed material tray from the unprocessed material area to the finished product area, and the first suction cup moves the lens to the
fixed position and retrieves the finished product to the finished product tray. The second robotic arm is equipped with a second suction cup, a third suction cup, and a tilting mechanism. The second suction cup transfers the lens from the
fixed position to the
grinding chamber, and the third suction cup transfers the ground lens to the finished product waiting position. The tilting mechanism rotates the suction cup 180 degrees to adapt to the loading and unloading conditions of the grinding
station, thereby realizing the steps of tray handling, lens loading, tilting and grinding, finished product retrieval, and tray reuse. With the two robotic arms working in parallel orthogonal space and multiple grinding chambers operating independently, the
processing efficiency, positioning accuracy, and consistency are improved.
