SWARFMASTER
The Rx-lens production of the future will significantly change all operations and processes. As an entry-level concept for automatic Rx production 2.0, OptoTech developed the new SWARFMASTER for high-performance pre-grinding of mineral and organic lenses (toric and freeform). By separating the pre- and fine grinding processes, you optimize your production and ultimately increase the performance and quality of your surfacing machines for mineral lenses and glass molds as well as organic lenses.

Highlights
- The SWARFMASTER is the ideal pre-cutter for all grinding and turning machines (mineral and organic lenses)
- Significant increase in grinding, turning and polishing capacity by adding the SWARFMASTER
- Can be used to replace old existing traditional mineral pre-grinding machines
- Usage of high-performance tools (diamond grinding wheel Ø66 R4 for mineral lenses and PCD Tool ø66mm R6 HSK with 15 cutters for organic lenses)
- Adaptive toolwear: Implementation of wear improvement. Machine calibrates itself from glass to glass
- Automatic tool clamping system for quick tool change. Fastest workpiece change system due to optimized automatic handling module.
- Modular setup of the most important service parts for fastest maintenance
System advantage
- Overall optimization of production output
- Increased processing capacity
- Improving performance & quality of surfacing machines
- Improved chip management
