Tools for Making Optical Frame Tools for Making Optical Frame
Optical Frame provide support for the lenses. Optical Frame were invented in Italy during the 14th century, probably in Pisa or Venice. During the Middle Ages, goldsmiths and other artisans produced optical frame using simple tools, such as pliers and tweezers. Today, the production of optical Frame still involves the use of these and other simple tools. However, the advances in technology have made it possible to create improved version of these tools used in optical frame making.
Tweezers Tweezers are used for inserting the small screws that join the frame s arms to the rest of the eyeglasses. Modern tweezers may include springs that allow them to remain closed when needed. This feature helps frame makers hold the screws and still have a hand free. Some tweezers have a curved end for greater precision when inserting screws. Pad-arm adjustment is better performed when using pad-removing tweezers specifically designed for the task.
Screwdrivers Screwdrivers are essential tools for the assembling of optical Frame. These tools can differ in size and head type. Phillips-head screwdrivers feature cross-shaped double-ended blades and are often used in optical frame making. Other types of screwdrivers, such as the flathead and hex-head, are also used in the industry. While flathead screwdrivers carry a single flat blade, hex-head screwdrivers are used to fit hexagonal head-shaped screws.
