	Designed to support the streamlining of lens processing, Gerber Coburn's Dimetrix provides automatic finish blocking and lens power inspection in one devices.  Dimetrix utilizes two advanced technologies-Wavefront powerMap®  Technology for lens power analysis and image recognition for extremely precise lens blocking.  When integrated into the lens finishing process, Dimetrix decreases manual inspection and blocking operations while reducing skilled labor and rework costs.

	Dimetrix's technology and design allow labs to easily integrate the  unit into their operations.  Dimetrix guides operators through the process with simple instructions.   Operators with little-to-no optical knowledge or  experience can understand and use the device.
	Dimetrix employs a touch screen or bar code reader for all data entry.  Operators simply type in or scan the job number to retrieve job information from the host computer.  The touch screen has a full alphanumeric keypad and descriptive labeling to make data entry and navigation intuitive.  Because the data input mechanism is integrated into the unit, a keyboard or 10-key keypad is eliminated, freeing up valuable workspace.
	The automatic lens loading and alignment feature diminishes manual processing steps and operator involvement taking the guesswork out of the operation.  Automatic aligning of single vision, multi-focal, progressive, and coated lenses reduces the need for lens marking, improves accuracy, and ensures consistency.  Lens handling is also minimized, reducing the potential for scratches and spoilage.
	Dimetrix provides automatic comparison functions.  Using ANSI standards, Dimetrix analyzes the lens, then indicates whether the lens is in or out-of-tolerance, providing affirmation that the lenses meet the prescribed job requirements.  Stored job data can be retrieved and analyzed to improve quality and reduce breakage.
	Once a lens is verified, the integrated blocking device automatically orients the chuck to the appropriate cylinder axis and decentration, then applies the block, eliminating standard manual operations.
	For a visual verification of the job data, Dimetrix displays the prism and line reference points in relation to the block placement.  Multiple display options include: sphere and cylinder maps; prismatic layout; on-screen frame-to-lens cutout verification.

Automatic Lens Analysis Dimetrix provides the most precise and accurate lens inspection data prior to blocking.  It delivers a full, quick lens analysis, reading the sphere, cylinder, axis, adds and prism values. Direct Job Comparison Using ANSI standards, Dimetrix compares the actual lens data, providing a Pass/Fail analysis.  Any out-of-tolerance measurements are highlighted in red.
