Manual ophthalmic lens blocker ART-M

ART-Blocker-M is a manual and alloy-free lens surface blocker. The lens blocking system uses Alloy Replacement Technology (ART), the environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional alloy blocking. ART, non-alloy lens blocking technology, employs reusable block-pieces. The connection between lens blank and block-piece for optical lenses is made by using UV-curable adhesive. Non-automated labs with low to mid volume production can best profit by the manual ophthalmic blocker’s benefits: Basically, the ART-Blocker-M is easy to operate and to maintain. Moreover, a scanner interface saves time by entering job data automatically Besides, the work sequence, displayed on the screen, reduces operator errors In addition, prism rings help to avoid application errors by setting the lens directly in the right position. Finally, a screen message alerts the operator when the process is complete. This also helps to avoid operator errors and lens breakage.
