NIDEK Me 900 Multifunction Grinder: The Revolution in Lens Grinding
The NIDEK Me 900 multifunction grinder represents the pinnacle of lens grinding technology, combining innovation, precision, and a compact design. With a multitude of advanced features, the Me 900 is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding grinding workshops. This presentation will provide a detailed overview of the Me 900's features and benefits, in a comprehensive manner without repetition.
Cutting-Edge Design Features
The Me 900 benefits from all of NIDEK's expertise, integrating the best features from previous generations of grinders. The machine's compact design allows for easy installation in any workspace, thereby maximizing workshop efficiency.
Automatic 3D Drilling
The Me 900's tiltable 3D drilling function allows for an impressive variety of drills, notches, inlays, and blind holes. Data can be input directly via a stylus on the touchscreen, making it easy to select the type of hole from the icons displayed at actual size.
Circumference Measurement
Before proceeding with grinding, the Me 900 measures the circumference and thickness of the lens, ensuring that the diameter is sufficient. This feature is also essential for re-edging, guaranteeing unmatched precision.
High Curve Bevel (licensed under PLB2R8)
The Me 900 is capable of grinding all existing materials, thanks to its separate grinding processes for the front and back surfaces of the lens. This feature allows for the edging of high-curvature lenses and the optimization of bevel height, ensuring a flawless finish.
Automatic 3D Grooving
Rimless mountings are performed with extreme precision, regardless of the shape, curvature, or thickness of the lens. The Me 900 maintains consistent groove width and profile, even for highly curved lenses.
Technology and Precision
The Me 900 is equipped with a high-performance control system that guides the carriage with rigidity and without vibration. Its new measurement system reconstructs the volume of the lens to estimate machining time and control grinding torque.
Advanced Shape Editor
The shape editing module allows for easy modification of contours while adhering to a predefined range of values, offering flexibility without compromising precision.
Machining Time Estimation
For optimal workshop organization, the Me 900 calculates the total machining process time, allowing the user to know the remaining time at any moment, thereby improving task management.
Data Management
The data required for machining can be exchanged between instruments via a USB key, facilitating data management and backup.
Design and Ergonomics
The compact design of the Me 900 minimizes clutter and allows for wall installation, saving valuable space in the workshop. Accessories fit naturally into an integrated compartment, making the machine even more convenient to use.
User-Friendly Interface
The simplified control panel and 8.4-inch color touchscreen offer intuitive navigation and quick mastery of the machine. The displayed shapes are reproduced at actual size, ensuring maximum precision in grinding operations.
Accessories and Options
The Me 900 comes with standard accessories such as flexible suction cups and double-sided adhesive. Optional accessories, like the NANO Kit for small shapes or the LED 200 deodorization system, allow the machine to be adapted to the specific needs of each workshop.
Technical Specifications
The technical specifications of the Me 900 include a caliber-free grinding system, automatic and guided beveling modes, and automatic drilling and grooving capabilities. The machine also features precise adjustment ranges for various grinding operations, with 0.01 mm increments for extreme precision.
