South Windsor, CT November 08, 2007 - Gerber Coburn announced today the launch of its newest edger, the CLE100, to its broad line of finishing products. The compact lab edger (CLE) is a robust, tabletop edger, incorporating high-grade industrial components to sustain medium-volume production environments. The CLE100 edges all lens materials including CR/polycarbonate, hi-index, Trivex® and glass. “The beauty of this edger is its compact design and sturdy components, making it an edger that will fit easily into your lab, taking up little space yet delivering high-quality results,” said Joseph Zilaro, senior product manager of finishing products for Gerber Coburn. The edger features heavy-duty components, including the reproducer and power module, transfer pins, and the bushing and coupling assembly, making it an edger suitable for harsher laboratory environments. Its metal cabinet provides maximum protection against rust and chemical corrosion. The CLE100 edges, polishes, grooves, and incorporates automatic safety or pin beveling for all lens sizes down to 18 mm for small frames. Using a patented grooving design, the edger precisely locates grooves on very thin lenses. Three groove widths and depths ensure optimal fit. The CLE100 works directly with laboratory host computers via the OMA communication protocol. In addition, the edger features automatic maintenance functions including wheel cleaning, self-calibration, and a statistics and technical log, which enable the operator to easily perform routine maintenance without technical assistance.
