You're in the optical business, not the plumbing business.

All of our equipment cuts dry, so you can set up virtually anywhere. There's no coolant disposal hassle or expense.

When glass was the only material used for making eyeglass lenses, the most effective way to edge or glaze was with a diamond wheel and flood coolant. Now that lens technology has moved almost wholly away from glass that method is no longer preferred for the newer lens materials.

Optronics' method of dry edging uses a carbide steel blade to cut a lens to size and shape. The sharpness and angle of the cutting blade is much more effective and accurate for processing plastic, Polycarbonate and Trivex. These materials can gum up a conventional diamond wheeled edger. Polishing is an option with the Optronics dry patternless edger and if desired is accomplished through a moistened diamond imbedded polishing hub that will effectively polish the lens without removing material.
