Disclosed is a machining method by turning at least one surface of an ophthalmic lens, using a turning machine having at least one geometrical defect. The method includes a step (101-104) of determining a turning configuration for machining by turning the at least one surface of the ophthalmic lens, the turning configuration including turning parameters and machine defects parameters associated to the turning parameters.

The invention relates to a method for identifying geometric deviations of a real motion guide from an ideal motion guide in a coordinate-measuring machine having a sensor for measuring a workpiece, or in a machine tool having a tool for processing a workpiece, wherein the coordinate-measuring machine or the machine tool has a movable part which is guided along the motion guide and by the motion guide.

Disclosed is a method for deducing geometrical defects of an optical article turning machine, including a defect value deducing step, during which at least one geometrical defect value is deduced based at least on an indicative information of an optical and/or geometrical data related to an optical and/or geometrical characteristic of a checking piece (10).

A method including: a) causing a tool mounted on a machine tool to work on a workpiece, and at least one sensor, which is configured to measure one or more aspects of the tool and/or machine tool, collecting sensor data during said working; b) a measurement device inspecting the part of the workpiece that was worked on at step a) to obtain measurement data; and c) calculating sensor-to-workpiece data calibration information from the sensor data and the measurement data.

A method of controlling a machine tool comprising the steps of: providing a data memory containing, for at least one specific working axis of the plurality of working axes, a plurality of data tuples each assigning a load value to a position value relative to the specific working axis, selecting a first data tuple and a second data tuple whose load values are different, and generating at least one control command for the machine tool, wherein the control command is adapted to perform a first tolerance measurement at a first position value and a second tolerance measurement at a second position value, and wherein, based on a first result of the first tolerance measurement and a second result of the second tolerance measurement, information about wear of a part of the machine tool is output. A corresponding device is also be disclosed.
