The world’s most technically advanced ophthalmic lathe, the elite Optoform 80 is the ultimate machine for the manufacture of any Intraocular and Contact Lens designs.
The # 1 choice of mold tool (insert) manufacturers (non-ferrous metals)

The world-leader in ophthalmic lathes, the Optoform 80 produces the “no-polish” RGP lenses required by many new ophthalmic technologies (uses CNC spray-misting).

The Optoform 80 produces the full, vast array of possible surfaces used in any Contact or Intraocular Lens design, as well as freeform designs (with fast tool servo attachment)

Features and Benefits

  • 2-Axis architecture eliminates the build up of tolerances which occurs with 3 and 4 axes lathes
  • Linear Motors provide frictionless, smooth, maintenance-free motion (electro-magnetic technology)
  • The Hydrostatic Oil Slides give excellent stiffness and their “damping properties” translate to significantly superior surface finishes. The Optoform 80 is the world’s only ophthalmic lathe with hydrostatic oil slides.
  • Air-bearing Spindles offer smooth frictionless rotation. The new-design Optoform 40 uses the PRECITECH SP-75L spindle, which is used on the NANOFORM 200. This is water-cooled for enhanced thermal stability, with chiller included.
  • The positioning system (laser scales) is independent of the drive system (linear motors) for complete accuracy
  • The positioning resolution is accurate to 8.6 nanometers on both slides (10 nm in the control software)
  • The thick granite base provides thermal stability, and active vibration mounts exclude disturbance from environmental factors
  • The lathe is fully compatible with all Fast Tool Servo attachments for producing non-rotationally symmetrical optics (VARIFORM, VARIMAX, FTS-1000)
  • The Gang Tooling system holds up to 6 diamond tools
  • Available options include the Toric Marker (axis) and CNC controlled spraymist (to enhances surface finish and prolong diamond tool life)
  • The Machine Control Software is extremely flexible, accommodating all applications
  • A variety of advanced Lens Design Software modules is available for all applications (The lathe is also Focal Points compatible.)
  • Touch-screen controls are standard for the computer, (with optional keyboard control included)
  • The lathe is fully networkable.
