MC-Flexc-ROB

The MC-Flexc-ROB is a robot controlled semi-automatic system for contact lens engraving.
The system can handle calottes with RGP lenses and soft lenses as well as aluminium calottes. Besides the high-quality Excimer engraving, the system also features a function for sorting the lenses after the engraving process.

Operation steps

Features: 
  • Productivity depending on the type and amount of engraving required – up to 150 lenses / hour
  • unlimited number of engravings
  • optimum “cold ablation” Excimer engraving quality
  • cost-effective system with regular one-year-service cycle
Highlights: 

The calottes are used during the engraving process and other production steps to carry RGP lenses, contact lenses and other special types of lens. The interaction of a mechanical 5-axis robot and a free-form calotte is a unique combination which allows individual, very fine and highly accurate engraving results to be applied at any lens position.

MC-Jet DeskTop

The MC-Jet Desktop is a manual system and designed to for individual and flexible lens printing.

The system can handle unblocked lenses (single vision as well as PAL) for digital Ink-Jet prints. It operates with easily removable alcohol based ink.

Operation steps

a) Lens loading into the clamping chuck
b) Job number reading by barcode
c) Receiving project file e.g. from HOST
d) PAL lens alignment by mouse clicking on the 2 permanent marks
e) Ink-Jet printing
f) Lens unloading

Options:
full automatic image recognition of the permanent marks
host / RX server connection

Features: 

manual operation for small and midsize labs
productivity depending on printing content 60 to 90 lenses / hour
unlimited number of printing contents; no clichés required
best Ink-Jet quality and short term air drying ink
high resolution print quality
camera equipped for SF & progressive lens recognition
no UV radiation stress for lenses and coatings (!)
compared to pad printing much less ghost image behaviour
cost effective system, very low cost of operation
minimal maintenance required

MC-Jet Product Family

In the ophthalmic industry, the market of progressive lenses for near and far sight is the market of growth. Usually, these lenses are pad-printed to identify work-in-process lenses as well as final products. This is done to ease the work of opticians finding semi- or quasi invisible laser engravings, which indicate the properties of the lens.

Features: 

Inking system for economic plastic lens Inkjet Printing
Individual Inkjet Printing field sizes and lens diameters
Dot- and line Inkjet Printing from 150 μm to any bigger size
Low ink consumption and maintenance costs

Software: 

MC series operating system

  • Intuitive graphical interface with preview
  • Extended configurable log filing for long tern process control and tracing
    C-Flexc operating system
  • Full remote access to MC-Flexc and log files at a shared directory via TCP/IP
  • Project designer software on MC-Flexc or external PC

Project File Designer

  • Compilation of characters and signs to a complete project (e.g. all characters and signs for one specific lens/mould)
  • Full automatic project file generation
  • Import functionality for drawings, logos and fonts (dxf, jpg)

RX environment

  • Communication with host computer based on shared folder or lOMA/VCA protocol
  • Assignment of job records from OMA/VCA server to individualsigns and characters
  • Interface to barcode readers and RFID tags

MC-Flexc V2.4

Laser 2000 has developed the MC-Flexc laser engraving system combining precise mask projection with a high-speed galvanometer laser beam scanning system. This permits the engraving of an unlimited mix of characters, patterns or codes without changing the lens aperture. This is achieved by replacing the usual lens with a specially designed image objective.

Features: 

Deep-UV Excimer System for high quality engraving and ablation
Individual engraving field sizes and lens diameters
Dot- and line engravings from 10 μm to any bigger size
Long life Excimer laser source and optic system
Close to stand-bye operation for very long lifetime
Laser gas filling with low turbulences for highest optic cleanness
Sealed Nitrogen beam-path with internal Nitrogen Generator
High-Safety ArF- and Laser security Standard
MC-Flexc integrated and sealed laser gas cabinet
Double equipped ArF gas absorber (F2 –Scrubber)
Integrated gas detection and protection devices
Gas cabinet exhaust device
Automatic Gas warning
