Next generation manual lens polishing

An evolution in manual lens polishing, the compact dual-spindle Multi-FLEX-M produces up to 50 lenses per hour. It combines the best of its predecessor, the Toro-FLEX, with the same Evolution-U polishing process and dynamic kinematics as known from the automatic Multi-FLEX and proven in over 650 installations worldwide. Coupled with a VFT-macro digital generator it makes a perfect surfacing pair for labs with manual production or Metro-Labs.

1-step Evolution-U polishing process provides faster polishing times and an exceptionally wide working range of up to -18 dpt.
Universal Tool Technology reduces the number of polishing tools required to just 1, for reduced tool inventory, simplified operation and fewer tool changes
Outstanding tool lifetime of up to 25,000 seconds for extremely low cost/lens
Intelligent polishing tools with embedded RFID tag enable tool usage tracking and improved efficiency
Easy-to-use integrated industrial PC with touchscreen seamlessly integrates with lab IT infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional polishing servers
Backup, diagnosis & remote support functions
MES-360 Lite included for basic data analysis
Software-controlled cleaning cycle and additional in-chamber bellow cleaning nozzles ensure machine is always clean and ready for use
Compact footprint & accessible machine design for easy maintenance
