Optoform 80 Computer Controlled Contouring Machine
Description
The world’s most technically advanced ophthalmic lathe, the elite Optoform® 80 is the ultimate machine for the manufacture of any Intra – Ocular and Contact Lens designs. The Optoform® 80 is a compact 2–axis, linear motor, continuous path, ultra–precision, computer controlled contouring machine designed for high speed lathing of spherical, multi – curve, or aspheric contact lenses and intraocular lenses as well as non–ferrous metal molds. In addition, user defined edge configurations can be specified, incorporated into the lens/mold design and directly machined. The machine is built on a natural granite base and utilizes a passive, three – point pneumatic vibration isolation system. Designed to provide ultra – smooth motions. The high stiffness, hydrostatic oil bearing slideways utilize linear motor technology with ultra – fine pitch linear glass scales for positioning feedback. The #1 choice of mold tool (insert) manufacturers using non–ferrous metals. The world–leader in ophthalmic lathes, the Optoform® 80 produces the “no-polish” RGP lenses required by many new ophthalmic technologies with CNC spray – misting. The Optoform® 80 produces the full, vast array of possible surfaces used in any Contact or Intra – Ocular Lens design, as well as free – form designs (with fast tool servo attachment).

Features
Linear Motors provide frictionless, smooth, maintenance – free motion.
The Hydrostatic Oil Slides give excellent stiffness and their “damping properties” translate to significantly superior surface finishes.
Air – bearing Spindles offer smooth frictionless rotation. The new – design Optoform 80 uses the Precitech HS–75 spindle, which is used on the Nanoform® 250 Ultra. This is water – cooled for enhanced thermal stability, with chiller included.
The position sensing system (laser scales) is independent of the drive system (linear motors) for complete accuracy.
The positioning sensing resolution is 8.6 nanometers on both slides (10 nm in the control software)
The thick granite base provides thermal stability, and active vibration mounts exclude disturbance from environmental factors.
The lathe is fully compatible with all Fast Tool Servo attachments for producing non-rotationally symmetrical optics (Variform, Varimax, FTS-1000).
The Gang Tooling system holds up to 6 diamond tools.
Available options include the Toric Marker (axis) and CNC controlled spray mist to enhance surface finish and prolong diamond tool life.
The Machine Control Software is extremely flexible, accommodating all Ophthalmic applications.
A variety of advanced Lens Design Software modules is available for all applications (The lathe is also Focal Points compatible.)
Touch screen controls are standard for the computer, (with removable keyboard included)
The Optoform 80 lathe is fully network ready with ethernet connection.
