CARROLLTON, Texas--Schneider Optical Machines will demonstrate its new manual free-form and Rx polisher, CCP Swift, at International Vision Expo West. When used together with the company’s HSC Smart generator, it offers a high-quality free-form surfacing solution for small and medium sized labs.

Schneider designed the fully CNC controlled polisher, CCP swift, specifically for labs to master freeform as well as Rx polishing with ease. The manually-loaded machine includes features such as usage of Schneider’s permanent pads, multi-step polishing cycles and modern macro technology. The intelligent tool management monitors the usage of the pads and indicates to the operator when the replacement of tools is necessary.

The CCP Swift can polish all free-form lens designs on the market, produces high surface quality and has high throughput. It eliminates hard laps for Rx surfaces and uses Schneider’s “Click-easy” disposable tools. ■
