Abstract

A manufacturing method of optical goods, including: injecting a material composition stored in a tank into a cavity provided inside a mold; and polymerizing and curing the injected material composition, in which a viscosity of the material composition stored in the tank is measured.

Claims (15)

1. A manufacturing method of optical goods, comprising:

generating a material composition by blending a material stored in a tank;

injecting the material composition into a cavity provided inside a mold; and

polymerizing and curing the injected material composition, wherein

a viscosity of the material composition is measured after generating the material composition but before the material composition is injected into the cavity,

whether the material composition is injected or not is determined based on a result of the measurement of the viscosity,

when it is determined that the material composition is adapted to be injected, the injection and the polymerization/curing of the material composition are conducted, and

when it is determined that the material composition is not adapted to be injected, none of the injecting and the polymerizing/curing of the material composition is conducted.

2. The manufacturing method of optical goods according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity is measured by a viscometer having a detector immersed in the material composition stored in the tank.

3. The manufacturing method of optical goods according to claim 1 , wherein

the viscosity of the material composition is measured while generating the material composition, and

stirring of the material composition stored in the tank is controlled in accordance with the viscosity.

4. The manufacturing method of optical goods according to claim 1 , wherein

the viscosity of the material composition is measured while generating the material composition, and

a temperature of the material composition stored in the tank is controlled in accordance with the viscosity.
