The most advanced manufacturer of industrial solutions presents the future of high productivity lens finishing - introducing the WECO Edge 990.
A blockless all-in-one finishing system that incorporates almost every process step associated with high-volume production of finished lenses. Its unique design eliminates the need for glazing blocks and manual processes, resulting in the ultimate solution for the industrial laboratory.
High speed and superb accuracy are key attributes of the Edge 990, together with the quality of build and reliability that is legendary to WECO. A true industrial product that has been purpose designed for continuous 3 shift production with low service and maintenance costs. And no consumables!
Profit can easily be increased:
No manual handling
No labour costs
No job preparation
No adhesive pads
No glazing blocks
Simplified finishing process
No investment in additional blocking devices
Significant saving possible by fewer rejects
The Edge 990 incorporates two high-speed edgers and a single Verifier Turbo within a single automated cell. The blockless technology is the ultimate solution for the "super-slippery" hydrophobic coated lenses, as there are no consumables used in the system to create slippage. The manual application of lens liners or foils, pads and blocks is completely eliminated, resulting in a gross reduction in wastage and higher yields.
The Edge 990 has an automated handling system to transport the lens throughout the lens finishing process, before depositing the finished lens back in the job tray. The automated processes are:
Automatic lens collection
Automatic lens measurement and verification
Automatic decentration
Automatic blockless edging
Automatic lens deposit backing into job tray
The manual process of block removal is eliminated due to the blockless operation, resulting in a lens finishing process with a drastically reduced labour content. Operator induced errors are also significantly reduced.
The WECO Edge 990 is the ultimate automated lens finishing solution currently available, and carries the distinct benefit of WECO's unique 15 year experience in robotic edging systems - no other manufacturer has this pedigree.
