NIDEK MULTIFUNCTION EDGER ME-1500

Various hole shapes such as slots, notches, counterbored holes, and jewel holes can be performed. A maintenance message notifies operator when drill bit needs replacing. NIDEK’s unique front and rear independent grinding function offers a high base curve bevel with flawless results. The position and height of the bevel can also be manually controlled.

Highly customizable, asymmetrical bevel permits lenses to be perfectly fitted into various eyewires. Mini beveling is also available with a single touch of the button. With step beveling, Rx lenses can be easily inserted into sunglass frames, which are traditionally difficult to fit. The partial step processing grinds Rx lenses for specialty-type sport frames. Maximum lens size: ø67 mm (type PLB-8S), ø72 mm (type PLB-2R8S). Bespoke lens shapes can be designed creatively by utilizing the drill bit as a milling tool. The distinctive design of the ME-1500 is in the pursuit of ergonomics and ease of use. A full-scale display and jog dial offer smooth data entry. The assistant functions make workflow more efficient, even for beginners.
