[0002] At present, the vast majority of the lens processing market uses wet grinding processes, which have low processing efficiency, a single processing method, limited product processes, and inevitably cause serious water pollution and air pollution. A few of the latest equipment are transplanted from traditional mechanical processing machine tools (such as CNC milling machines and machining centers), without re-developing and designing the software and hardware specifically for the particularity of the lens processing technology. They are less targeted for lenses and can only process the outer contour and drill holes. Moreover, a large number of professional technicians are required to perform processes such as focus measurement, marking, drawing, processing, grinding and polishing, grooving, drilling, and engraving. Air pollution is also formed during the processing. The disadvantages of the above two types of equipment are specifically manifested as follows: low processing efficiency, single processing technology, long auxiliary time, many personnel occupied, large production site occupation, high price, no automatic loading and unloading, no automatic graphic generation, unmatched processing software, long automatic tool change time, difficult to limit dust diffusion, high technical requirements for operators, etc. Therefore, the present invention proposes an AI intelligent manufacturing platform for lenses to solve the above-mentioned troubles and problems.
