WECO Edge 430: Advanced CNC Automatic Grinder for High-Precision Optical Lenses

Explore the advanced capabilities of the WECO Edge 430, a cutting-edge CNC automatic grinder designed to streamline the production of high-quality prescription lenses. This innovative device from WECO integrates state-of-the-art technology to provide precise grinding and polishing, ensuring optimal results for a wide range of optical applications.

Precision Grinding and Polishing

The WECO Edge 430 excels in precision grinding and polishing of lenses with impeccable accuracy. Using diamond grinding discs tailored to various lens materials, including synthetic materials like polycarbonate and silicate minerals, it delivers superior finishing quality across all optical values. Whether for standard lenses or complex aspheric and progressive lenses, the machine ensures consistent and precise outcomes.

Facet Options and Customization

A standout feature of the Edge 430 is its versatility in facet options. The machine offers multiple facet grinding modes such as flat facet, free-running facet, manual facet, and monitored facet. Each mode is selected based on the specific requirements of the lens being processed, whether to accommodate unusual frame shapes or ensure optimal fit and aesthetic appeal.

In monitored facet mode, the machine automatically adjusts the grinding process in real-time, optimizing facet quality particularly for thin lenses and complex shapes. This capability is enhanced by various programs including auto-facet and percentage curve, which adjust facet curves to match frame or lens specifications.

User-Friendly Interface and Ease of Use

Designed for convenience and efficiency, the WECO Edge 430 features an ergonomic interface with clear and intuitive controls. Operators benefit from a 1:1 color monitor display that provides real-time feedback on the process and graphical representation of facet positions. The machine supports up to 200 lens forms in its internal memory, simplifying operations in active optical workshops.
