No more blocks
No more Wax/Alloy
Dry Cut
Less Waste
All in one
The Block-free Digital Lens Generator
The first station performs a mapping of the front curve in order to determine how to compensate even very small curve deviation differences.
The second station performs the block free generation process first by cribbing the blank and roughing the surface with a high speed milling unit, then fine turning the surface with a diamond turning unit designed by the MEI’s R&D team and manufactured by the MEI’s production plant.
The third station performs the engraving of the progressive reference layout by a short pulse laser unit.
The fourth station is a multi-headed polishing and washing unit able to process four lenses at the same time featuring a completely new polishing strategy that minimizes slurry usage and polishing time.
The power matching unit compares the resulting design with the theoretical design.
The measurement is done in real time on 100% of the lenses without affecting the machine throughput.
The measuring unit is installed at the end of the process and does the measurement by transmission.
The measuring results are stored in the database of the machine and are available for continuous process control and go/no go devices.
