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-COX - New Laser Engraving System for Free form lenses

Free form lenses (PAL) and even others require different engravings intensities for permanent engraving signs and/or branding logos from ‘semi visible’ to ‘strong’. For this need the new, patented MC-COX system engraves all kinds of plastic lenses from CR39 through 'High Index" to polycarbonate in a high quality and without heat-affected zone around the actual engraving. Intensity and engraving contrast can be set in a much broader range than for traditional methods.

Convex and Concave Engravings
Barcode reader or RFID interface
Host connection via OMA/VCA protocol
Height 600 mm
Depth 700 mm

Weight ~ 120 kg

Highlights: 

High quality Engraving
Engraving without heat effected zone
Wide range of appearance from semi visible until high-contrast

MC-Flexc V2.5

MC-Flexc V2.5 is the advancement of the MC-Flexc V2.4. It is designed especially for full-automatic RX-labs.

MC-Flexc V2.5 is even an Excimer 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: 

MC-Flexc V2.5 Automatic
- Handling of all kinds of blocked lenses
- Rugged handling components for longest system lifetime
- Granite based chassis for difficult environment conditions
- 1.5 m conveying belt included (e.g. Flexlink)
- Basic throughput 200 lenses/hour

MC-Flexo C5.0

Three different Ophthalmic engraving CO2 systems (MC-Flexo C3.0; C4.0; C5.0) are determinated for manual or automatic loading as well as for engraving of blocked and unblocked free form lenses. The systems are based on experience in CO2 laser systems and various patents for fast and accurate laser positioning and low heat insertion into the material. This is essential for marking ophthalmic plastic lenses in high quality.
