The finish parameters are automatically calculated according to the information acquired when
tracing the frame and feeling the lens.
◦ Customized mode
The finish parameters 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
For all types of material.
6. Polishing
◦ Polished lens
◦ Non-polished lens
7. Front surface chamfering
◦ Small chamfer
◦ Large chamfer
◦ No chamfering

• Calling up the number of a shape saved on the tracer:
> Press for a few seconds to open the numeric keypad.
> You can then call up a shape via the ID allocated to it.
• Job call via a barcode:
> Scan the barcode using the barcode reader (optional).
Always lock down your 2 lenses before proceeding with the edging. If a job in the course of modification on
the tracer (display of the symbol beside the reference) is called up on the edger, a warning message is
displayed.
> Press to continue and display the job on the edger. The modifications underway are then ignored.
> Press to prevent the display of the job and finish the modifications underway on the tracer.
A reminder of the type of posiblock required is displayed on the shape. It is crucial to use the proper
accessory to edge the lens. Otherwise, an error message is displayed at the start of the cycle.
c. Lens set-up and feeling
Prerequisite: the lens must be centered and blocked before placing it in the edger.

3. PERFORM A HIGH-BASE BEVEL
This section describes the procedures for the creation of a high-base bevel:
• Description of the high-base bevel screens, (F p.33)
• Perform a high-base bevel in “automatic trajectory” mode or “front surface tracking” mode. (F p.34)
The use of the high-base 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.
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
A step bevel is strongly recommended for a high-base sports frame or a safety frame.
The step bevel finishing is active and available only if the tool is installed on the “small tools” module
(F p.168).
For more information, refer to the section Maintenance servicing> Changing edger tools > Installing
the Step ++ wheel (F p.168).
This section describes the procedures for 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.44) or “front surface tracking” mode.
(F p.46)
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.
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.

• In customized mode (F p.52), you can perform a front/rear surface tracking, a distributed groove
or a lens curve tracking. You can also do the following:
◦ a general modification of the groove curve (F p.54)
◦ a modification at a point of the groove curve (F p.55)
◦ a displacement of the groove curve (F p.56)
• You can consult the description of the customized groove screen.
In certain cases, the lens base or thickness makes grooving impossible.
