CASE STUDY

New Solution Leads to Large Decrease in Process Time

A flexible high-speed automation processing line had to be designed and built for the production of prescription optical eyeglass lens blanks. The solution had to produce lens blanks every 10 seconds, with a process time of less than one day, and the flexibility to handle up to 45,000 unique prescriptions.

The present manual process yielded a high variation in product quality, as well as a process time of almost two weeks per lens.
