LE-1000 EXPRESS Patternless Edger

Building the new stage of patternless edging

Improved edging speed
The Le 1000 Express has achieved faster grinding. The speed is approximately 35% faster than previous Le 1000.
The speed of processing can be adjusted depending on the coating quality of lenses.

Heavy-duty, durable mechanism
The Le 1000 Express has achieved a steady operation for lens processing by a direct drive with an exclusive motor and rotary gear system. A newly designed Y-axis direct drive assembly controls a size with a specialized servo motor, achieving consistent high precision. An integrated stabilizer keeps the chucking pressure consistent, without harming lens coatings. Together, these components result in a heavy-duty, durable mechanism.

Grooving & Safety Beveling
A newly designed “multi-disk arm” makes grooving and safety beveling fully automatic. Specially designed wheels attain high accuracy for grooving and safety beveling. The Le 1000 Express provides beautiful finish even for high curve lenses.

Integrated air duct for deodorization
Incorporating a duct to attach hoses for connecting deodorization equipment and ventilation fans to control the smell during lens processing.

High precision 3-D frame tracer
The Le 1000 incorporates a tracer into the main console, which realizes the world's smallest footprint. With its
user-friendly design, frame setting position can be easily observed during the tracing process.

Chuck pressure stabilizer
An integrated stabilizer keeps the chuck pressure consistent, without harming lens coatings. The chuck pressure is maintained and stabilized to avoid unnecessary lens distortion and coating damage throughout the edging cycle.

Easy Shape Editor
With the Le 1000's Easy Shape Editor, lens shape width and height can be easily altered. Changing the height of drill mount frames for improved progressive lenses' layout is easily achieved.

Color-coded lens identification
The R/L indicator lamp helps operators to correctly identify right and left lenses in combination with the use of red and green cups.

Soft Grinding Mode
The Le 1000 features Soft Grinding Mode for processing slippery super-hydrophobic coated lenses, avoiding axis shift and lens crazing. Our technology of axis stability is outstanding in the industry.

Processing New Material Lens
The Le 1000 can process various lens materials, including the newest polyurethane lenses used for sunglasses.

Mini Cup (optional)
Minimum 17.4 mm “B” dimension can be processed with our Mini Cup.

System configurations
Several Le 1000 configurations are available to meet your specific needs.
