The Envoy is a versatile, cost-effective frame tracer ideal for use in laboratories or remote locations.  Envoy II links directly to the lab's host layout system or when loaded with compatible remote data entry software, the tracer sends digital trace data to the processing laboratory via modem.  The Envoy II is fast, accurate, and easy to use and provides the same precise results as Gerber Coburn's other in-lab tracing systems.

Standard Features

Envoy II's 3-axis control captures 3,200 points (A and B as well as frame curve and elevation) for accurate 3 dimensional shapes.  This combination of measurements yields highly accurate sizing, decreases breakage, and increases finishing quality.
Envoy II can trace both patterns and demo lenses for rimless frame styles by mounting them on a simple fixture.  The Envoy II sequentially  traces both eyewires during the trace cycle (operators may trace one eye if desired). Frame DBL is automatically measured during tracing.
Envoy II has a small footprint and an attractive appearance. It's compact size enables it to be located adjacent to a computer running compatible order entry software.
Envoy II operation is easy and efficient, reducing  operator error and ensuring race quality. After the frame is inserted, a simple frame holding mechanism is clamped at the touch of a button. At the start of a frame trace, Envoy II automatically inserts the stylus in the eyewire and begins its precise tracing. Upon completion of the first eye-wire trace, the tracing table shifts, the stylus is inserted again, and the second eyewire is traced.  The resulting  digital trace data is sent to the computer, and when in a remote location, then to the lab via modem for use in surface calculation and patternless edging.  
Patterned after the Triumph™ Frame Tracer, Envoy II's interface simplifies operation.  Users can cycle through the right, left or complete trace selection with a single key.
Training time is minimal. Users can become proficient in Envoy II operation in under an hour.  In addition, Envoy II's advanced design increases reliability and decreases maintenance, important consideration when tracing from remote locations.  Best of all Envoy II is backed by Gerber Coburn's award winning customer service and support.
