The AutoBlocker is for use in laboratories that edge and mount lenses into frames. All kind of lenses can be oriented and blocked according to the ink marks or the µ-engravings. Because the A&R AutoBlocker is task specific, and the system has a small footprint, you can easily integrate it into the lab. The AutoBlocker is an excellent investment for a modern lab with a rapid payback!

The Automatic Packaging Unit for Semi-Finished Lenses is dedicated to large scale packaging requirements of progressive semi-finished lenses. It packages 720 lenses per hour by choosing the correct plastic cup and box type out of ten cup choices and five box types. After being correctly matched to cup and box, the lens is packaged and sorted into 24 double magazines of 15 packaged lenses each, according to several different criteria that is operator set. Through the use of this machine with the Fully Automatic Pad Printing Unit for Semi – Finished Lenses, complete control and packaging is obtained with almost no operator intervention. By adding several options of diameter, center thickness, and curvature measurements, the machine can be used for packaging single vision and multifocal semi-finished lenses.

The control unit for single vision semi-finished lenses (MCSFU) is the perfect tool for the free-form laboratories. With a capactity of more than 360 lenses an hour, the MCSFU detects any picking, supply or data error. It measures, accurately and contactless, the radius of the front curve of the single vision semi-finished lenses. The measured data are directly transmitted to the LMS (Lab Management System) software so that the measured data can be taken into account for the calculation.

Identification & Inking Unit for semi-finished lenses (type MITSF) The new concept of MITSF machine is designed to identify and print progressive and multifocalsemi-finished lenses. The PPOS system, integrated in the unit, detects the μ-engravings or the upper segment line and identifies the semi-finished by reading the identification code (check of product code, Addition, base, eye, logo at the edge or under the μ-engravings) by Optical Character Recognition. The inspected lenses are then inked by a robot, permitting a large flexibility in image choice (10 plates – 20 images). The data of this machine can be transmitted to the automatic packaging unit, eliminating any product mispack.

The Focovision by Reflection SR-2 is used in the production of semifinished lenses, glass and metal molds,but also in prescription laboratories to control the incoming semi-finished lenses. It measures the surface optical power by reflection on one point with a high degree of accuracy. The measured value can be expressed in curvature or in diopter. The Focovision by Reflection has become a worldwide reference instrument throughout the ophthalmic industry. High accuracy (0.01D for the base power, less than 0.01D for the residual astigmatism of the instrument) Very high reproducibility Precise and reproducible positioning of the lens according to reference points marked over the lens surface Simple and rapid autocalibration procedure No moving parts (behaviour stability, simple lighting system, ...) Linear instrument response (no mechanical adjustments are necessary) Reliability : Image quality control & automatic correction of dust effect
