Kappa systems provide small to large retail practices versatile,
state-of -the art finishing technology. Completely integrated, Kappa
Systems consist of a tracer and blocker and an automatic patternless
edger. Available with either the standard Kappa
Tracer/ Blocker for basic manual centering or the new Kappa
CT tracer/blocker for the latest in automatic centering and blocking, Kappa System offer
unparalled speed and accuracy. KappaSPX Edger is
also available to edge all types of lens materials.Kappa Systems offer
unparalleled speed and accuracy. Kappa
Systems employ many exclusive technologies such as 4-D tracing, tilted
grooving, and soft pin beveling. Because Kappa Systems are harmonized
to work with several communication protocols, they can be configured
for most finishing departments.

TRACE
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 Systems process B sized down to 18mm.
This combination of measurements yields highly accurate sizing,
decreases breakage and increases finish quality. |

BLOCK
Standard Kappa Model
After the tracing cycle is complete, the operator enters the patient
information, then places the lens in the blocking chamber. A video
camera captures and displays an image of the lens, without parallax,
on a large full-color digital screen along with a superimposed frame
shape. The operator manually aligns the lens on the target, verifies
for cutout, then inserts a block in the blocker arm for an automatic
application to the lens. |

MAP
Two probles simultaneously map the contours to the lens' surfaces to
determine lens curvature and edge thickness, ensuring proper lens
cutout and optimizing
both bevel and groove placement. Placement can be automatic or the operator
can make custom modifications. |

EDGE
Kappa SPX edges all 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,
Kappa offers the exclusive EAS cycle - a special cycle for handling
fragile or antireflective coated jobs.
Automatic bevel slection allows KappaSPX to quickly edge
most lenses by calculating optimal bevel placement from 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. |

 |
POLISH
Three groove widths and kepths ensure an optimal fit. KappaSPX
uses a patented grooving design to precisely locate grooves
on very thin lenses. Compare groove quality, no other system can track
a groove as consistently as KappaSPX edger.

PIN BEVEL
AND GROOVE
Patented, soft pin beveling feature accommodates all lens sizes including
small frames down to 18mm. 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. |
