The Alta NX edger pushes back the limits of lens edging whilst optimising your time. It allows you to undertake more complex work such as the latest designs in rimless eyewear and lenses with high curvature.

Millimetrique Drilling - an entirely new design allows rimless drilling to be made at any angle from 0° to 30° with an outstanding accuracy of 0.1mm, resulting in easy fitting of rimless mounts to the lens.
Concordance Grooving - The inclined groove is placed automatically according to the curvature and the thickness of the lens.
