Blocking & DeblockingSatisloh offers a wide range of ophthalmic lens blockers and deblockers for every laboratory size. Available as manual and automated, traditional alloy and alloy-free ART (alloy replacement technology) solutions.

GeneratingSatisloh’s VFT digital lens generators, come in various models with different footprints and throughputs for varying production requirements. All VFT lens generators use Satisloh’s proprietary fast tool with patented voice coil technology for the turning process. Our ophthalmic lens generators cover all production processes, including cribbing blanks to the final lens diameter, milling and turning even the most complex designs, and mechanical engraving semi-visible marks. The latest Satisloh generators, feature technology to generate an overlay of two surfaces on the lens. Special geometries can be added to the prescription surface of the lens and machined in one cutting process using this feature.

PolishingSatisloh´s FLEX polishers can process all surface geometries on all organic lens materials. Their various flexible and intelligent lens polishing tools are optimized for individual machine and application types. The long-lasting tools assure highest form accuracy of the final lens, whether used on a manual or on an automated Satisloh polisher. Combining motor driven tool spindles and tangential polishing kinematics provides reliable and accurate stock removal.

CleaningThe ophthalmic cleaning process includes removing contaminations like adhesive residues and fingerprints from the lenses. The cleaning process takes place prior coating. It has become indispensable to best automate the cleaning process. So, most of today’s cleaning machines ensure operator free, full automation processes. This saves time and makes lens production even more cost-effective.

EngravingSatisloh offers engraving solutions for standard and premium requirements. Satisloh relies on CO2 and excimer laser technology which uses gas and generates electromagnetic radiation in the ultra-violet wavelength range. This permits highest precision accuracy and dot quality. All laser options guarantee highest consistency, quality and visibility of the engravings.

Hard CoatingCoating expert Satisloh provides complete hard coating solutions to meet the needs of any production environment. To achieve the best results in scratch-resistance, we have a variety of high-tech equipment with matching consumables and processes available, allowing each lab to design their individual solution. Machines with different capabilities provide the perfect match for each application: dip- or spin-coating; on or off the block; manual or automated. Choosing the right hard coating is key for the best AR coating performance. Satisloh provides the perfect matching hard coat to achieve highest AR adhesion, craze- and scratch resistance.

AR CoatingSatisloh is the leader in anti-reflective (AR) and mirror coating equipment. The company’s experience is based on developing and building sophisticated coating systems for over 55 years. Innovation, the broadest portfolio of equipment and processes, & a responsive and large service team that keeps Satisloh machines running. Covering the full process chain, we offers a wide range of proven & easy to install AR, mirror and top-coat processes as well as matching coating consumables, for all lens materials & coating quality requirements. With increased sophistication and controllability of vacuum chambers, new and unique coating designs with specific hardness, residual reflection, transmission and other performance attributes have been developed. No matter which process, Satisloh’s expansive knowledge regarding equipment, processes and consumables guarantees uniform coating quality within each batch and from batch to batch.

EdgingLens edging, also called lens finishing, is the final step in processing mountable spectacle lenses. The secret to excellent finishing is the perfect match between the edge of the lens and the frame’s rim. Finishing technology needs to precisely center the lens without slippage or deforming the frame while processing. And of course lens aesthetics are always important. Satisloh offers both industrial and tabletop finishing technology for all applications and sizes. From simple edging and mountings to sophisticated finishing processes.

SoftwareSatisloh offers a complete range of optical lab software solutions to drive efficiency, process control and profitability for ophthalmic lens production. Products include Manufacturing Execution System, Lab Managment Software, Lens Design Software and AR Coating Quality Analysis Software.

Lab AutomationWith Satisloh´s automation solutions, Rx labs can perform processes with little to no human assistance while increasing production efficiency, output throughput, quality, and effectiveness. Our automation machines and conveyor offerings are designed to meet the specific workflow needs and fit the different stages of any Rx manufacturing lab.

Coolant & Waste ManagementSatisloh offers a range of coolant management and lens debris removal equipment for monitoring, managing and recycling coolant and filtering debris in the lens production process.
