The Kappa Tracer and Blocker provides small to large retail practices versatile, state-of-the-art tracing and blocking technology. Its advanced tracing software provides the most precise frame tracing available using 4-D control, capturing A, B, frame curve elevation, and frame groove profile. With Kappa's patented High Performance Mode, the 4th dimension, frame groove profile can be measured to further optimize fitting challenging frame shapes and materials. And to satisfy the latest design trends, Kappa processes B sizes down to 18 mm. This combination of measurements yields highly accurate sizing, decreases breakage, and increases finish quality.
Standard Features

Automatic 3-D Binocular Tracing enables a complete frame trace including the DBL measurement in less than 20 seconds. And the New High Performance Mode captures the fourth dimension-the frame groove profile-for fitting complete shapes and materials. Rimless styles' patterns and demo lenses can be traced with a minimum 18 mm B dimension. Tracing software stores 200 jobs.

After the tracing cycle is complete, the patient information is centered and the lens is placed in the blocking chamber. A video camera captures and displays an image of the lens, without parallax, on a large full-color digital screeen, along with a superimosed frame shape. Once the target is manually aligned and the cutout is verified, the block is inserted in the blocker arm for an automatic application to the lens.
