The world’s most technically advanced ophthalmic lathe, the elite Optoform® 80 is the ultimate machine for the manufacture of any Intra – Ocular and Contact Lens designs.
The Optoform® 80 is a compact 2–axis, linear motor, continuous path, ultra–precision, computer controlled contouring machine designed for high speed lathing of spherical, multi – curve, or aspheric contact lenses and intraocular lenses as well as non–ferrous metal molds. In addition, user defined edge configurations can be specified, incorporated into the lens/mold design and directly machined.
The machine is built on a natural granite base and utilizes a passive, three – point pneumatic vibration isolation system. Designed to provide ultra – smooth motions. The high stiffness, hydrostatic oil bearing slideways utilize linear motor technology with ultra – fine pitch linear glass scales for positioning feedback.
The #1 choice of mold tool (insert) manufacturers using non–ferrous metals.
The world–leader in ophthalmic lathes, the Optoform® 80 produces the “no-polish” RGP lenses required by many new ophthalmic technologies with CNC spray – misting. The Optoform® 80 produces the full, vast array of possible surfaces used in any Contact or Intra – Ocular Lens design, as well as free – form designs (with fast tool servo attachment
