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.

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 Transmission SPV-3 is used in prescription laboratories. It is connected to your computer network, from which it receives the nominal values of the prescription lens. Its main advantages are repeatability, accuracy, easy calibration, and especially its visualization system of the semivisible marks or the upper segment line corner of the addition. This system permits an accurate positioning on the different control points without any lens marking. It measures the lens optical power by using a light beam perpendicular to the concave lens surface at a certain wavelength (546 nm or 587 nm) and by measuring in all directions (360 degrees). In addition, it has a user friendly interface permitting an operator to learn how to perform the complete lens control (far view, prism reference point, near view, thickness, shape, etc.) with little training required. Minimal training required Very high measurement speed Flexibility (configurable procedures, easy to adapt, any toleran

The Control & Packaging Unit for Stock Lenses is best utilized by large volume single vision lens manufacturers. This machine will inspect and package 900 lenses per hour with such accuracy that there are no errors such as sending out of tolerance lenses out, or rejecting in tolerance lenses. In addition, the automatic cycle prevents any mispackaging of product. The zero defect packaging and the labor costs savings proven by installation of over 100 of these machines worldwide justify the investment in this machine.
