Automatic Blocker

This efficient automatic blocker, designed for higher volume applications, is
a “hands off” unit, which eliminates operator variability.
- Wax/pitch dispensing is precision-controlled, as is wax thickness. The
compound is continuously mixed to keep it homogenous, ensuring an accurate,
repeatable pitch/wax application.
- The innovative technology is based on safety and repeatability, so the
blocker automatically closes the collet and seats the blank, with a safety
interlock for operation.
- The blocker, with four alignment axes, is designed to deliver long-term
precision for spherical and prism lenses.
- It can be used as a prism blocker with cylinder axis layout, and it easily
adjusts for button tilt and radial run-out.
- It requires only a single calibration at setup.
- The “smart” air-actuated, pressure-controlled collet automatically adjusts
to any standard 1/2” blank at consistent pressure without warping or crimping
the lens.
- The dead-length-stop provides precise thickness for high volume production
- A digital gauge measures to .001 mm with uninterrupted memory.
- The durable cast iron construction assures stability of operation.
- Custom models are also available.
