LE-1000 Patternless Edger

The new Le 1000 represents the new standard of excellence with NIDEK's legendary lens processing technology, delivering the ease-of-use, accuracy and superior quality the industry has come to expect from us.

Heavy-duty, durable mechanism
The Le 1000 is designed with the most advanced CAD (Computer Aided Design) components. A direct drive gear system maintains cylindrical axis with every cut. Size is controlled by a newly designed Y-axis direct drive assembly with a specialized servo motor, achieving consistent high precision results. An integrated stabilizer keeps the chucking pressure consistent, yet without harming lens coatings. Together, these components result in a heavy-duty, durable mechanism.

Grooving & Safety Beveling
The Le 1000 features a specially designed grooving wheel, which achieves a superior groove quality with “pin-point” accuracy. A reduced grooving wheel diameter, set at the optimal angle, grooves highly curved lenses flawlessly. A newly designed safety beveling wheel provides accurate and consistent design and appearance of safety bevel on any lens. Safety bevel, either on front and rear, or rear only, is selectable.

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.
