Essilor Instruments USA Debuts Mr. Orange

March 5, 2012

 
GERMANTOWN, Wis.—Mr. Orange is the newest addition to the Essilor Instruments USA line of high efficiency finishing products. The tracing, blocking and edging system is “high tech but not high priced,” according to Essilor.

Mr. Orange features numerous integrated functions such as management of high curves up to base 9 and optical tracing that is twice as fast as mechanical tracing for rimless and groove jobs. All edging, grooving, and drilling tools can incline up to 30 degrees. Designed for easy operation, the system has intuitive navigation, a touch-screen interface and visual alerts. Exclusive, patented Fit-4-Frame technology lets users determine the best lens level profile for each frame/lens combination depending on lens thickness at four strategic points.

Essilor’s Star Control is beneficial for processing hydrophobic treated lenses. It practically eliminates slippage and crazing, regardless of material, shape or finish. Star Control provides real-time control of cutting forces to minimize torque and stress on the lens while optimizing the speed of the edging cycle.

Essibox, Essilor’s open communication system, integrates an office network and effectively manages shape and drill point databases. Lifetime remote maintenance comes standard with Mr. Orange and keeps it performing at its best with downloaded updates and remote diagnostics.

A centering space is designed for all lens geometries; a hand rest and front loading arm for ambidextrous use; and the hand rest has a soft touch finish for comfort and accuracy. ■
