NIDEK LE-9000 SX/LX Accurate & Smooth
Built-in Tracer
The Nidek LE-9000-SX/LX series edgers incorporate a tracer into the main console and achieve the smallest foot-print in the world. A shielded connection cable ensures safe and reliable data communication. With its operator-friend-ly design, frame setting position can be easily observed.
High Speed, High Precision 3D Tracing
The NIDEK LE-9000-SX/LX series edgers provide precise tracing in all three dimensions. Unlike die plates, the edger finishes even highly curved frames with greater accuracy. Also, the new design features high speed tracing, approximately 30% faster than our conventional edger.
Fully Automatic Measurement of Patterns and Dummy Lenses
The edger automatically measures frame, pattern and dummy lenses, and at completion of the operation the measuring pin returns to its housing.
Dual Tracing System
As both sides of lenses are traced with high accuracy, a perfect fit is possible even when there are subtle differences between right and left lenses. The frame PD is automatically measured, eliminating the need for manual measurement and input.
New Low-Pressure, Active Control Stylus
Accurate tracing is accomplished at low pressure, eliminating frame distortion and disengagement.
Mirror Polish
LE-9000’s “Mirror Polishing” produces mirror-like lenses. Accuracy measured in microns Two-point and half-rim lenses can be polished very precisely with greatly reduced buffing time. LE-9000-SX PLB provides easy and accurate bevel mirror polishing.
Speed Up!
The LE-9000 features high speed processing at every step of operation—frame tracing, lens measurement, calculation and edging. Operation time is reduced to 1/3 compared to that of our first edger model.
High Quality
Newly developed 3D tracing & lens measurement feature provides accurate frame and lens measurements, ultimately offering a perfect finish. Thirty-two thousand data points per processing round ensures a precise fit.
Frame Memory
One hundred tracing patterns can be stored in memory, and with optional bar-code reader up to 500 patterns can be stored. This improves efficiency, saves time and storage space.
Multi Layout
Standard Layout
Clear display of frame and optical center at actual size.
Bifocal Lens Layout
Unique layout system for double focal point lenses.
PD Layout
Layout for distance from optical center to the lens base and prescribed PD input. Convenient for processing progressive lenses.
Bottom Layout
Ideal for progressive lens processing. Your choice of two modes (PD inputs and BT inputs) can be used.
Eye Point Layout
Layout for inputting distances from eye point to lens base and horizontal distance to the edge of nose side. Convenient for processing of two-point lenses.
Multi Display
Frame Replacement Display
Convenient for frame replacement processing.
Bevel Simulation Display
Provides easy confirmation and change of bevel position before processing.
Grooving Simulation Display
Provides easy confirmation and change of grooving position, depth and width before processing.
Safe and Smart
For operator safety, the system will not start if the edger cover is open.Also, LE-9000 SX/LX Express offers safety features to prevent processing mistakes.
Greater Efficiency
The LE-9000’s traced data can be transferred via cable connection to the Nidek’s Intelligent Blocker ICE-2000. This eliminates the need to mark a lens with lensmeter, and provides automatic adjustment of center and axis position, as well as precise processing with highly accurate PD layout.With ICE-2000, LT-900, SE-9090 and PC, various lens processing systems can be easily linked to improve lab efficiency and large-scale processing.
