At first the patented FastProcessing disc cutting method – known from V-Series Generators – reduces the diameter, pre-edges the lens and generates the surface in only one cycle. Then the fast-tool turning axis processes a ready-to-polish surface, perfectly suitable for fast flexible tool polishing.

The benefits:
  • Fully automated lens processing with integrated loading system
  • High productivity, low cost per lens
  • Unique: automated system set-up and tool calibration (optional)
  • Optimized, enhanced tool accuracy or avoid tool changes for different materials by 2nd fast-tool axis

First step: the patented FastProcessing method speeds up processing by diameter reduction, pre-edging, and generating the lens surface in only one cycle prior to fast tool turning.
Second process step: Single point turning with fast tool axis generates accurate and smooth lens surface.
Fully automatic operation: The VFT-ultra robotic loading system increases efficiency and reduces costs.
Unique: Fully automated axis and tool calibration (optional)
