ClearXM
The MEI solution for cleaning and inspection of eyeglasses edged lenses.
ClearXM is a very compact system that combines a loading system able to accommodate any shape of edged and uncut eyeglass lens with a cleaning section made of sealed chambers designed to avoid contamination. By understanding the specific shape and size of the lens, the system can optimize the cleaning process and apply the appropriate pressure and movement patterns needed to effectively remove dust, smudges, or other particles from the lens surface while avoiding the risk of scratching or other damages.
THE ACTUAL SCENARIO
During the manufacturing process, lenses can accumulate dust, particles, or residues that can affect their optical properties. Cleaning helps remove these contaminants, ensuring the lens surface is pristine before moving on to subsequent manufacturing steps.
The existing technology for cleaning lenses provides machines designed as long tunnels in which multiple cleaning stations are aligned along a main conveyor system, which transports the lenses without any holding system. Those traditional solutions have several limitations, including contamination while moving the lenses from the washing to the inspection, extensive footprint, lenses’ shape limitation, risk of damages, and the possibility of human error during the very repetitive manual inspection.
BENEFITS
Optimize the cleaning process
Efficiency
Precision cleaning
Seamless inspection
Space and resource optimization
User-friendly design
Customizable features
INTEGRATED COSMETIC CONTROL
ClearXM soon will have the option of the integrated cosmetic control, performed right after the cleaning of the lenses, to assure a control onto a perfectly cleaned surface, limiting the risks to wrongly judge dust or other debris. This option, called SurfXM, learns from each lens and continuously auto-improves its performance without impacting the ClearXM cycle time.
