USER MANUAL> II. EDGING A LENS

◦Medium or high index plastic lens - index > 1.5
◦Trivex lensTM
◦Tribrid lensTM
The configuration of the edging cycles depends on the type of material. An incorrect choice may result in
material damage.
The Pro-E 600 edger does not edge glass lenses.
2. Type of finish
◦Bevel
◦igh-base bevel
◦Step bevel
◦Groove
◦Flat-edge finish
◦Mixed job
3. Drilling
◦Drilling enabled
◦Drilling disabled
4. E ging mo e
◦Automatic mode
The finish parameters are automatically calculated according to the information acquired when
tracing the frame and feeling the lens.
◦Customized mode
The finish settings can be fully customized.
5. Type of cycle
◦Milling cycle
This cycle is recommended for lenses with a hydrophobic coating. It works with all types of
materials. Milling involves a specific feeling cycle: the edger will feel the contour of the shape to
be edged twice, then four feeling operations will be required every 90° to define the segments to
be cut.
◦2 stars Cycle
For all types of material. This cycle offers a more sophisticated edging mode than the standard
cycle, dedicated to thin lenses or to hydrophobic lenses when milling is not possible (lens too
quick for example).
◦Standard cycle
USER MANUAL> II. EDGING A LENS

For all types of material.
6. Polishing
◦Polished lens
◦Non-polished lens

9. Size re uction/increase (mm)
10. Manual lens clamping
Press and hold to close the lens clamp shafts manually.
11. Start the e ging cycle
The door closing and lens clamping are automatic.
Function also available via the “cycle start” button on the front surface.
Always browse from left to right: depending on your selection, certain menus will be available while
others will not.
Your habits taken into account
The edger memorises your working habits: as time goes by, the buttons of the functions you use most
often will be displayed by default.
b. Calling u a sha e
There are 3 ways of calling up the shape you want to edge:
•Calling up the current job:
> Press to display the shape being processed on the tracer.
•Calling up the number of a shape saved on the tracer:
> Press for a few seconds to open the numeric keypad.
> You can then call up a shape via the ID allocated to it.
•Job call via a barcode:
Pro-E 600 > v1 -02.17
18
USER MANUAL> II. EDGING A LENS

> Scan the barcode using the barcode reader (optional).
Always lock down your 2 lenses before proceeding with the edging. If a job in the course of modification on
the tracer (display of the symbol beside the reference) is called up on the edger, a warning message is
displayed.
> Press to continue and display the job on the edger. The modifications underway are then ignored.
> Press to prevent the display of the job and finish the modifications underway on the tracer.
A reminder of the type of posiblock required is displayed on the shape. It is crucial to use the proper
accessory to edge the lens. Otherwise, an error message is displayed at the start of the cycle.
c. Lens set-u and feeling
Prerequisite: the lens must be centered and blocked before placing it in the edger.
Check that the posiblock holder and the stop correspond to the posiblock used. Otherwise, you will need
to remove them from the lens clamp shafts and replace them with the tools matching the diameter of the
posiblock.
•For a 22 mm posiblock •For an 18 × 14 mm posiblock
Place the lens in the posiblock holder.
Place the metal peg of the posiblock upwards and the positioner downwards: a magnet is used to
hold the lens in position on the axis.

You can clamp the lens manually by pressing . Manual lens clamping is particularly suited to
hydrophobic lenses, thick lenses and high-camber lenses, as it ensures that the lens won't come
off the pad before clamping.
Make sure you move your hand well away before you start the edging cycle.
Press the “cycle start” button (front face) or
The door closes then the lens clamping operation starts.
The size of the posiblock holder is checked then the feeling cycle starts.
To interrupt the feeling cycle at any time, press .
As the lens is felt, its shape appears on screen. The double tracing represents the profile of the front
surface of the shape (inner shape) and its rear surface (outer shape).

the tracer. The lens edging starts automatically after the feeling cycle.
•customized, the finish parameters can be fully customized.
For further information, refer to the section concerning your type of finish.
The different lens edging stages appear on the screen.
2. PERFORM A BEVELING
This section describes the procedures for the creation of a bevel:
•In automatic mode (F p.21), you do not have to configure anything. All the data is automatically
retrieved from the tracer. The lens edging starts automatically after the feeling cycle.
•In customized mode (F p.24), you can opt for front/rear surface tracking, a distributed bevel,
lens curve tracking or frame rim tracking. You can also do the following:
◦a general modification of the bevel curve (F p.26)
◦a modification at a point of the bevel curve (F p.27)
◦a displacement of the bevel curve (F p.28)
•You can consult the description of the customized bevel screen (F p.23).
a. Automatic beveling
Call up the desired shape located on the tracer or on the job management program.
The shape is displayed on the edger work screen.
After the tracing of a rimmed frame:
•The bevel finish is selected by default.
•The automatic mode is selected by default.
If you want to produce a bevel less than 0.75mm high, configure the bevel directly on the
screen.
