Intuitive and flexible
features improve
quality.
Simple and easy to use,
Titan
features a full size screen,
function symbols
and color-coded
messages, making
operations intuitive and flexible.
Titan's
versatile material-specific configurations
accommodate a
variety of lenses – glass,
plastic,
or polycarbonate. The
operator
simply scans a bar
code and downloads
job specific parameters and
Titan edges
and finishes the
lens accordingly.
The lens clamping pressure selection allows
the
operator to choose a fragile, average, or
strong
pressure
cycle. Proper pressure on
the lens
minimizes the risk of
damage.
The patented, state-of-the art,
3-D mapping system
outlines lenses in less than eight seconds, cutting traditional
mapping times by 50%. This
system reduces cycle times and maximizes production capacities.
And the sophisticated mapping feedback mechanism alerts the operator to any errors,
minimizing rework.
Automatic
beveling and grooving options reduce lens handling and the potential
for spoilage
from scratching or external processing. In the automatic setting
mode, optimum bevel or groove placement is calculated from the
furnished 3-D data, the measured lens curve, and edge thickness.
The customized setting allows the greatest process control of
difficult or specialty lenses to achieve the most attractive,
effective frame and lens assembly. When the polishing
option is engaged, edges polish to a mirror finish. This
feature adds only seconds to the finishing cycle and requires no
special handling or external equipment. Automatic
maintenance functions – wheel cleaning, spraying of edging chamber, a
statistics and technical log, and auto-calibration enable the operator to solve
certain problems without technical assistance. If telephone
assistance is required, those functions provide essential information
for effective troubleshooting.
Integrated and industrial design delivers maximum
productivity.
Titan combines the most advanced, industrial
features with the industry's
best patternless edging technology to
address the specific needs of high productions labs. Designed as a
freestanding edger, Titan works "right out
of the box." And
because Titan was planned at the ground level to be "automation
ready," it integrates seamlessly into an automation cell.
 |
Titan works as a stand-alone unit and
can integrate with any
OMA-compatible computer layout software
system, including
Gerber Coburn's Innovations™ software. |
|
|
 |
Designed to withstand the demands of
tough lab environments,
Titan is housed in a stainless steel
cabinet for maximum
protection against rust and chemical
corrosion. The cabinet-design provides easy setup, operations, and
access with exceptional durability.
|
|
|
 |
All wiring, grounding, and circuitry
are segregated from the water
source and under the hood of Titan.
This self-contained design
prevents dust and water from entering
the unit, reducing any
operational problems and extending
production times and
component life. |
|
|
 |
Based on the lens material and the
process being performed, the
on-board computer intelligently
controls the three-phase motor's
cutting speeds, so lenses are cut
with less stress. And its motor
braking capability reduces the
time for the wheel to spin down.
The cutting wheels stop almost
immediately, enabling the
operator to remove the lens safely from
the cutting chamber. |
|
|
 |
An automatic circumference checking
assembly can measure and
record the perimeter of the lens at the
end of the cutting cycle.
This data is compared against the
specified trace data, and if
discrepancies exist, Titan informs
the operator to initiate the
automatic re-size cycle. This
function can be activated as needed
– on every job, on random
jobs, or not at all. Using circumference
checking greatly improves
first time fit. |

Expandable system automates the workflow
Add four additional components, the Supervisor, a robot, conveyor,
and tray staging area to make Titan a fully automated lens edging
system.
Titan works hand-in-hand
with the Supervisor. This software program controls every aspect
of the edging process. The Supervisor's intelligent feedback
capabilities enable it to manage finish lab workflow by
coordinating data transfer, tray delivery, and lens loading. Such
operational control eliminates the personnel required to stack,
separate, and move jobs around the lab.
|
 |
|
|
 |
The Supervisor can allocate
the job flow by lens material, process functions, edger
specifications, or edger availability. The Supervisor plans and
executes the workflow by tracking edging times, workload,
configurations, and errors. The Supervisor's innate intelligence
maximizes the operation's efficiency. |
|
|
 |
Job trays move down the
conveyor where a bar code reader scans
the tray into the station
and downloads the job information into the Supervisor. While the
robot moves the job tray into the parking station, the Supervisor
sends the data to an available edger. The robot then loads the
lenses into the appropriate Titan, returns the finished lenses to
the job tray, and offloads the tray to conveyor. |
|
|
 |
The hub of the automation is
the Kuka KR6 Robot. Designed to work in intricate applications, the
KR6 is ideal for handling lenses.
Its high speed extreme
precision, reach flexibility, and reliability
assure that the
finishing process is optimized. Kuka Robots are
used in
electronic, telecommunication, plastics, cosmetics,
pharmaceutical, wood processing, and automotive facilities around
the world. |
|
|
 |
If an edger becomes inoperable, the Supervisor receives a
message.
It then can route work accordingly, maintaining the production schedule. The Supervisor can be programmed to track
a
wide variety of data for periodic reporting. If problems arise,
lab personnel are quickly notified via a visual, audio, or
electronic signal. |

|
The Titan PnP is an automated edging system that combines Gerber
Coburn's industrial edger with a pick and place (PnP) device. Designed
for high volume lens processing, the Titan PnP is capable of edging
all materials, including glass. The system employs 3-D technology to
improve finish quality while speeding production times. Its
high-grade industrial components, selectable grooving, beveling and
polishing option, user friendly interface and seamless OMA-compliant
software create an integrated solution that is exceptionally fast,
very precise, and extremely durable. As a result, the Titan PNP
system is ideal for medium to large wholesale laboratories. |
 |
|
|
 |
With the
PnP interface, the automatic beveling, grooving, and polishing
options are utilized. Because no operator intervention is needed
lens handling and the potential for spoilage from
scratching and external processing is reduced.
|
|
|
 |
After the
first lens is complete Titan signals to the Supervisor that the
first cycle is complete. The Supervisor instructs the PnP
arm to remove the lens from the Titan and place it in the job
tray, then picking the second one for edging. |

Automation
ready job trays enter the loading zone via an integrated
37"
conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is reversible enabling
Titan to be installed on either side of the belt for optimum lab
floor layout. |
|
|
 |
A bar code reader scans the job tray and downloads job specific
parameters to a computer. The computer's Supervisor
software controls every aspect of the edging process, enabling
Titan to edge and finish the lens according to the prescription. |
|
|
 |
A PnP arm picks one lens
placing it into the edgers chucking mechanism. Once the
cycle is initiated, the patented state-of-the-art 3-D mapping
system out-lines lenses in less than eight seconds,
cutting traditional mapping times by 50%. This unique
mapping system reduces cycle times and maximizes production
capabilities. |
