This system is a laboratory tool that generates accurate lenses by automatically selecting the best processing times and pressures in accordance with the specified lens material: CR39, polycarbonate, hi-index or glass. This degree of precision is supported by a mechanical design providing optiminzed fining and polishing orbits. The system should have a fluid delivery system that provides increased clearance for lap and lens loading. This should allow fast loading and unloading. It should increase coolant/slurry flow rates to increase productivity by reducing processing times and minimizing lens re-work. It should have a feature that automatically clamps the laps and lenses in place when the cycle is engaged to speed cycle times. It should have a display that is designed to guide operators through each step of the fining and polishing process. It should be customized to accommodate each lab?s needs. It should be easily calibrated. The system should easily handle a wide curve range. It should produce consistent results via a one-or two-step fining process (without stroke adjustments). It should be ergonomically designed, fast and efficient. I t should have compact size and quiet operation. Air requirements: 50 PSI (minimum), 125 PSI (maximum), 1 CFM. 2) REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS: The Finer/Polisher Cylinder System and all of it?s components, shall be compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements to market and deliver a medical product for use in the United States of America, even should delivery be requested outside of the United States.
