◦ Polycarbonate lens

Pro-E 600 > v1 -02.17

USER MANUAL> II. EDGING A LENS

◦ Medium or high index plastic lens - index > 1.5

◦ Trivex lens

◦ Tribrid lens

The configuration of the edging cycles depends on the type of material. An incorrect choice may result in

material damage.

The Pro-E 600 edger does not edge glass lenses.

2. Type of finish

◦ Bevel

◦ High-base bevel

◦ Step bevel

◦ Groove

◦ Flat-edge finish

◦ Mixed job

3. Drilling

◦ Drilling enabled

◦ Drilling disabled

4. Edging mode

◦ Customized mode

The finish settings can be fully customized.

5. Type of cycle

◦ Milling cycle

This cycle is recommended for lenses with a hydrophobic coating. It works with all types of materials. Milling involves a specific feeling cycle: the edger will feel the contour of the shape to be edged twice, then four feeling operations will be required every 90° to define the segments to be cut.

◦ 2 stars Cycle

For all types of material. This cycle offers a more sophisticated edging mode than the standard cycle, dedicated to thin lenses or to hydrophobic lenses when milling is not possible (lens too quick for example).

◦ Standard cycle

3. HIGH-BASE BEVELING

This section describes the procedures for the creation of a high-base bevel:

• Description of the high-base bevel screens, (F p.29)

• Produce a high-base bevel in “automatic trajectory” mode or “front surface tracking” mode. (F p.31)

Pro-E 600 > v1 -02.17

USER MANUAL> II. EDGING A LENS

The use of the high-base bevel depends on two parameters: the frame and the lens.

• Concerning the lens, the main constraint is the thickness of the nasal and temporal edges.

• Concerning the frame, the crucial elements are the bridge and shape of the groove. The hinge is an

additional factor in the case of a metal frame, the arms for a plastic frame.

For this job, the lens base must always match the frame base perfectly. Too great a difference

between the two could be detrimental to the quality of your job.

4. PERFORM A STEP BEVEL

The step bevel finishing is active and available only if the tool is installed on the “small tools” module.

Prerequisite:

Allen key

Blocking key

Tool for “wheel” removal

This section describes:

• the installation procedure for the step bevel tool (F p.37)

• the procedures relating to the creation of a Step bevel:

◦ description of the Step bevel screens (F p.41) ◦ perform a Step bevel in “automatic trajectory” mode (F p.43) or “front surface tracking” mode.

(F p.45)

The use of the step bevel is determined by two parameters: frame and lens.

• Concerning the lens, the main constraint is the thickness of the nasal and temporal edges.

• Concerning the frame, the crucial elements are the bridge and shape of the groove. The hinge is an

additional factor in the case of a metal frame, the arms for a plastic frame.
