Kappa SPX Edges all lens
materials-glass, CR39®, hi-index, polycarbonate, and Trivex as well as edge polish bevels and flats with unmatched speed and accuracy. And for those delicate jobs with performance coatings, KappaSPX offers the exclusive EAS cycle- a special cycle for handling fragile or anti-reflective coated lenses. The KappaSPX edger now includes a host of new features including the Quick Release Clamp System for easy chuck removal, the Red Block for frame sizes down to 18 mm, and software that enables faster cycle times.

   
Standard Features  
 
The new quick release clamp system allows different size chucks to be easily removed and installed in the edger. A New Red Block is available for frame sizes down to 18 mm.
   
One of three methods-direct tracer connection, the edger keypad, or optional bar code reader-can be used to call down a job and retreive a shape. Two probes simultaneously map the contours of the lens' surfaces to determine lens curvature and edge thickness. This ensures proper lens cutout and optimizes both bevel and groove placement. Placement can be automatic or the operator can make custom modifications. New Software enables faster cycle times, movement of axes, and mapping cycles, improving throughput by as much as 40%.
 
Automatic bevel selection allows KappaSPX to quickly edge most lenses by calculating optimal bevel placement from the furnished data. More difficult or specialty lenses can be controlled using a number of customized bevel options including front curve, percentage, or a simple rimless.
Three groove widths ensure an optimal fit. KappaSPX uses a patented grooving design to precisely locate grooves on very thick lenses and three groove widths and depths ensure an optimal fit. Compare groove quality, no other system can track a groove as consistently as KappaSPX Edger.
Patented, soft pin beveling feature accommodates all lens sizes including small frames down to 18 mm. Soft pin beveling eliminates the need for any manual pin beveling, reducing lens handling and decreasing the potential for spoilage or breakage. With this new feature, consistency, control, and quality greatly improve.
Automatic maintenance functions-wheel cleaning, self-calibration, a statistics and technical log enable the operator to easily perform routine maintenance without technical assistance.
   
KappaSPX'ssimple user interface features intuitive icons, text, and color-coded messages for effortless operations. Its vertical design, high-definition screen, comfortable height, and viewing angle make KappaSPX the system of choice for everyday use.
