Advanced Edger AE-3000

1. Core of edging system in intra-shop network concept

AE-3000 should be the core of edging system in intra-shop network concept.
Other tracers can be connected to AE-3000, because it has two types of communication format, HOYA Format and OMA Format.
By using RS-485 for communication port, communication among several edgers is allowed.

Communication Port
RS- 232C x2
for connection with Bar code reader
for connection with HOYA equipment or other tracers with OMA Format
for connection with personal computer

RS-485 x2
for networking with HOYA485 Format

2. Edgerable every type of lens

Edges every type of lens, except for grooving and polishing of Mineral, can be edged with 4 types of Diamond Wheel.

< 1 > Electro-deposited Roughing Wheel (18mm-width) for plastic
< 2 > Sintered Roughing Wheel (16mm-width) for glass
< 3 > Sintered Beveling and Flat Finishing Wheel (22mm-width)
< 4 > Sintered Beveling and Flat Polishing Wheel (22mm-width)

3. Chamfering and Grooving

Chamfering and grooving is possible by twin-spindle method in which each procedure is independent.

4. Storage of Edging Data

Similar to HELP edging-system, storage of edging error record and lens shape data can be stored.
500job-data can be stored with Smart Media (16MB standard).
Large capacity of Smart Media allows up to 1,000job-data.

5. Easy to Operate

Clear vision with color LCD.
Lenticular lens and E-line multifocal lens can be beveled in automatic edging mode.
No need in exchange of lens holders and containers, because only leap system (oscillating type) for half-eye frame is adapted as lens holder. (Flat 20x28, Bevel 22x28).

6. Easy Maintenance

Smart troubleshooting is available, because debug and data recover based on recorded LOGs are possible even after edging.
Programs are easily updated by external PC or by exchanging Smart Medias.
Separate detachable outer cover provides shorter maintenance time.
Each cover can be detached solely without detachment of the next cover.

7. High Edging Speed and High Edging Accuracy

Edging speed has improved with new Electro-deposited Roughing Wheel
Edging accuracy has improved with lens carriage linear motion system, calculation of circumference length and 3-axis micro-step control drive.

8. High Waterproof

Waterproof function has improved by separating water tank and lens-box and by storing only lens shaft part in the water tank.

Global Tracer GT-3000

1. Upgraded Data Transmission Method

USB and RS-485 I/O ports, besides the conventional RS- 232C
Both HOYA and OMA Formats are acceptable.

2. High Measurement Accuracy

High measurement accuracy and large number of frame measurement are available by improving measurement part.

Stylus Weight Balancing System decreases the tracing pressure from 50g (conventional) to 25g.
Movable range of stylus in vertical direction increases from 20.5mm to 23.5mm.

3. Easy to Operate

Operation of pattern- / lens- tracing becomes easy by one-touch system-holder and pop-up system-stylus rod.
Pattern- and lens- measurements are automatically distinguished.
Information is clearly indicated by a 2-lines display type LCD.

3. Easy Maintenance

Program updates from external personal computer is available.
No need to exchange built in ROMs.
