MULTI-FLEX-2 AND MULTI-FLEX-2E
Satisloh
Satisloh introduces the fourth generation of their automated soft tool polishers: Multi-FLEX-2 and Multi-FLEX-2E. These new machines expand on the polishing technology the company first developed in 2015 and produce more than 300,000 lenses every day. Both models feature a completely new handling system that combined with redesigned components, produce even better polish quality.
Features: The Multi-FLEX-2 is designed for high volume Rx lens manufacturing lines with varied production needs, according to Satisloh. It provides full automation with three independently-controlled polishing chambers, each with two spindles and an optional tool wear monitoring system. The design makes processing up to three lenses simultaneously with different specifications, material, geometry or surface requirements possible. Using Satisloh’s Top Speed process, it can polish up to 100 lenses per hour.
- A new polishing process, “Evolution,” gives superior polish tool performance and is ideal for lenses that will be hard-coated and knife-edge lenses.
- Redesigned tool-reception interface enables easier maintenance.
- Hydra-Boost, an integrated cleaning station, cleans both lenses and block-pieces while using 40 percent less water per lens than its predecessor.
- Automatic software-controlled polishing chamber cleaning. Cleans the complete chamber and the integrated bellows, which extends machine parts lifetime. Can be easily scheduled when convenient and without interrupting production time.
- Static polishing nozzles do not get misaligned during tool changes, maintaining optimum polish-slurry direction and flow.
- Increased accessibility for adjustments, inspection and maintenance through new state-of-the-art design.
- Multi-FLEX-2 comes with MES-360 Lite software pre-installed so labs can track machine utilization, production throughput and top five errors with daily reports using pre-established KPI.
EUCLID MAX
Euclid Systems Corp.
Euclid Max, the latest advance in overnight orthokeratology from Euclid Systems Corp., combines outstanding material characteristics with proven Euclid designs, according to the company, which has decades of experience developing proprietary Ortho-K algorithms and over two million lenses on eyes.
Features: Used in children and adult patients with progressive myopia (nearsightedness), but especially children, Ortho-K contact lenses gently reshape the cornea to manage myopia while the patient sleeps. This technology is especially important today with almost five billion people expected to have myopia by 2050, which would make it the leading cause of blindness worldwide. If left untreated, myopia significantly increases the risk of more serious ocular conditions including glaucoma, cataracts and retinal disease.
Following U.S. FDA approval, Euclid gave early access to Euclid Max to a limited group of optometrists spread across the country over the last few months to get real-world clinical experience on patients’ eyes. In a survey of this early access group who had experience fitting the lens, 100 percent of the respondents replied they would consider recommending Euclid Max to their next patient.
