Features and Benefits

The world's most competitively-priced Ultra-Precision Lathe for Contact Lenses or Intra-ocular Lenses: precisely designed for the manufacture of any Intra-Ocular and Contact Lens designs

• Produces all possible Intra-Ocular and Contact Lenses designs

• 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)

• Hydrostatic Air Slides ensure stiffness and create damping to create excellent surface finishes

• 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. A water-cooled spindle (with chiller) is available as an option.

• 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 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)

• Supports on-machine milling attachment for all milling applications (including IOL haptics)

• Freezing attachment available for cryogenic lathing

• 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
