NIDEK LT-1200 Satellite Tracer – Accurate Frame Tracing for Optical Lens Processing
At BOC Instruments, we continue to support optical professionals across Australia and the South Pacific with reliable equipment designed to enhance precision and workflow consistency. As an Australian-owned, family-run company established in 1920, we bring more than a century of experience to the ophthalmic and optical industry. We supply high-quality equipment sourced from respected manufacturers worldwide, ensuring optical practices and laboratories have access to dependable technology. The NIDEK LT-1200 Satellite Tracer is a practical and accurate frame tracing solution designed to support modern lens edging workflows.
Accurate frame tracing is essential in achieving precise lens shaping and consistent finishing results. The LT-1200 Satellite Tracer is designed to capture frame geometry reliably and transmit this information to compatible edging systems. Its compact, satellite-style design allows it to integrate smoothly into a wide range of optical environments, supporting both standalone and networked workflows.
Product Overview
The NIDEK LT-1200 Satellite Tracer is designed to measure and record frame shapes accurately before lens edging begins. Frame tracing plays a critical role in the lens finishing process, as it determines how lenses are shaped to fit the selected eyewear. Accurate tracing supports correct lens alignment, consistent edging results, and efficient workflow integration.
The LT-1200 operates as a dedicated tracing unit, capturing detailed frame measurements and transferring this data to compatible NIDEK edging systems. By separating the tracing function from the edger itself, optical professionals can organise their workflow more effectively. This satellite configuration allows tracing to be performed at a separate station, supporting smoother task allocation within busy practices or laboratories.
Engineered with stability and consistency in mind, the LT-1200 delivers reliable performance across repeated tracing cycles. Its intuitive operation supports efficient use by optical technicians, whether working with standard frames or more complex designs. The unit is well suited to environments that prioritise accurate preparation as part of a controlled and repeatable lens production process.
