To meet the diverse needs of its growing global customer base, the SGX Plus offers an extended processing range, new 50/60 Hz brushless motor, small diameter lens cribbing, lower cost auxiliary components, and an all material, longer life, 9-flute cutter.

The Coburn SL2 Express generator with cut-to-oval capabilities features the same award-winning precision turning technology, long-life polycrystalline diamond cutter, automatic cribbing and safety beveling, cool lathe processing and built-in diagnostic programs as the original version, but produces at a faster rate.

The DTL generator is a high-speed, dry-cut, single point diamond turning lathe that employs precision diamond machining technology for traditional or advanced lens processing such as Cut-to-Polish and Digital (free-form) lens production. When using advanced lens processing, generated lenses move directly to conventional or sub-aperture polishers, eliminating the fining process.

DTL Models:

• The DTL150 is a high speed generator that employs standard generating parameters to produce lens surface qualities which require conventional fining and polishing. The DTL150 is upgradeable to both cut-to-polish and digital (free-form) processing as well as automation.

• The DTL200 offers advanced lens processing to produce digital (free-form) lenses. The DTL200 is a manual unit or may be upgraded to automation.

The CTL generator, a manual compact turning lathe, utilizes our patented single-point technology to produce conventional, and digital free-form lenses for small to mid-size laboratories. Similar to the larger DTL generator, the manual CTL generator family offers the same traditional benefits of a dry-cut, advanced lens processing generator that you have come to expect from Coburn.

CTL Models:

• The CTL85 is an advanced manual generator for conventional and cut-to-polish lens processing.

• The CTL85^DP model adds both the advanced lens processing digital (free-form) and the lens diameter measuring features from the factory.

The original Acuity Cylinder Machine Finer/Polisher offers a number of options and user benefits. A sophisticated yet user-friendly and highly economical laboratory tool, it generates exceptionally accurate lenses by selecting the best processing times and pressures in accordance with the specified lens material: CR39, polycarbonate, hi-index or glass. This degree of precision is supported by a mechanical design providing optimized fining and polishing orbits.

The Coburn CMX50 Polisher and Finer, an affordable and robust solution for the conventional fining and polishing, delivers exceptionally accurate lenses by combining optimal lens processing times with pressures in accordance with the lab’s specified materials. CMX50 processes via two spindles the entire spectrum of materials including CR39^®, polycarbonate, hi-index and glass.

The Multi-Axis Adaptive Techology (MAAT) sub-aperture polisher replaces conventional fining and polishing processes to produce traditional and digital (free-form) lenses. MAAT works seamlessly with the Diamond Turning Lathe (DTL) dry-cut, single-point lens generator, resulting in Coburn’s Advanced Lens Processing System (AlPS) that is both expandable and affordable. Using the latest technology, the MAAT polisher produces exceptionally accurate lenses, faster and more economically.

The Rae Plus links directly to the lab’s host layout system or when loaded with compatible remote data entry software, the tracer sends digital trace data to the processing laboratory via modem.

Mr. Blue Tracer can accommodate high wrap frames up to 9 base and small B dimensions down to 17mm. Because the tracer operates with a feeler tilted at 15°, it can follow even sharply curved grooves, and its Essilor-patented Variable Geometry Bevel allows it to bevel with a fully customizable profile that suits any groove shape and lens thickness. The enhanced Shape Modification allows the flexibility for customized shapes and more profitability.
