DAC Exhibiting..

  • ALM 3.0 – Defined by the User, for the User.

CL and IOL manufacturing.

  • DAC Precision Blocking.

CL and IOL.

  • HMG & XLS - accurate and reliable diamond tool

calibration and toric axis positioning.

ALM 3.0 – Look familiar?

Well look again…..

ALM 3.0 – Addressing Customer demands…

Ergonomics play their part:

  • Lower working height.
  • Touch screen and detachable keyboard
  • Multi-point monitor arm.
  • Easier hardware controls access.
  • 2 USB ports.

...while delivering greater capability..

  • The FT3 – Defining the next generation in Fast-Tool

systems:

...with technology that makes a difference..

  • The FT3 – Ready to upgrade?
  • High stiffness, Air Bearing technology that requires

no mechanical or flexure systems.

  • Greater tool excursion for extreme cylinders, etc.
  • High velocity oscillation - higher spindle speeds –

improved surface quality of complex lens shapes.

  • 3-tool system for all non-rotationally symmetric

geometries – including lens edges!

  • Compatible with HMG use for fast, accurate and

repeatable diamond tool calibration.

…and the ability to adapt with you!

  • Compact tooling – More room for more options...

Automated Tool Calibration

It’s as easy as X Y Z

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Automated Tool Calibration

X: Sphericity (Lateral)

Alignment of tool radius center to spindle centerline

SLIDE 15

Automated Tool Calibration

X: Sphericity (Lateral)

OLD METHOD

SLIDE 16

Automated Tool Calibration

X: Sphericity (Lateral)

NEW METHOD: Automatic Sphericity Calibration The lathed rings are measured by the high precision probe. Accuracy is better than one micron.

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Automated Tool Calibration

Y: (technically, Z) Y-offset Calibration

distance from tip of cutting tool to probe, a.k.a. “lvdt”

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Automated Tool Calibration

Tool Height

OLD METHOD

  • scribe a line
  • evaluate under microscope, guesstimate how

much to adjust

  • repeat... repeat... repeat...
slide-19
SLIDE 19

Automated Tool Calibration

Tool Height- AUTOMATIC method

Height calibration features are lathed, not scribed.

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Automated Tool Calibration

Height Measurement Gauge (HMG) + software facilitates setting the tool height precisely to spindle center with one tenth of a micron (0.0001mm) resolution.

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Automated Tool Calibration

X: Cut Cylinder

  • (“cylinder” is diameter)
  • perfect world: side of tool = tool center + radius

OLD METHOD cut a cylinder (diameter) and measure

Automated Tool Calibration

X: Cut Cylinder

NEW METHOD probe is used to automatically measure the diameter

AXIS LOCATION SYSTEM

  • ld method: vision sensor
slide-24
SLIDE 24

AXIS LOCATION SYSTEM

new method: XLS

slide-25
SLIDE 25

AXIS LOCATION SYSTEM

new method: XLS

  • precision micro-sensor
  • mounted along X axis
  • detects and resolves for run-out during

sensing operation
