Features

• Automatic Chamfering & Grooving
NIDEK's SX series of patternless edgers provide automatic chamfering and grooving,
with a multidisk arm that grooves and chamfers in one operation.
• Wider Grinding Wheel
The 20% wider, more durable grinding wheel has an improved carriage that
facilitates grinding of even thicker lenses at greater speed.
• Flexible and Versatile
The LE-9000SX/LX series edgers can process any type of lens material, including
glass*, plastic, polycarbonate and acrylic lenses.
*Except model PLB, which is recommended only for use on plastic.
• Built-in Tracer*
The edger incorporates a tracer into the main console and achieves the smallest
footprint in the world.
*SX/LX series only.
• High Speed, High Precision 3D Tracing*
The edger provides precise tracing in all three dimensions. Unlike die plates, the
edger finishes even highly curved frames with greater accuracy.
*SX/LX series only.
• Fully Automatic Measurement of Patterns and Dummy Lenses*
The LE-9000 automatically measures frame, pattern and dummy lenses, and at
completion of the operation the measuring pin returns to its housing.
*SX/LX series only.
• Dual Tracing System*
As both sides of lenses are traced with high accuracy, a perfect fit is possible even
when there are subtle differences between right and left lenses.
The frame PD is automatically measured, eliminating the need for manual
measurement and input.
*SX/LX series only.
• Low-Pressure Active Control Stylus*
Accurate tracing is accomplished at low pressure, eliminating frame distortion and
disengagement.
*SX/LX series only.
• Mirror Polish
LE-9000's "Mirror Polishing" produces mirror-like lenses.
• Speed Up
The LE-9000 features high speed processing at every step of operation---frame
tracing*, lens measurement, calculation and edging. Operation time is reduced to
1/3 compared to that of our first edger model.
• High Quality
32,000 data points per processing round ensures a precise fit.
• Frame Memory
100 tracing patterns can be stored in memory, and with the optional bar code reader,
up to 500 patterns can be stored.
• Great Efficiency
With the NIDEK's Intelligent Blocker ICE-2000, Satellite Tracer LT-900, Lab Edger
SE-9090 and a PC, various lens processing systems can be easily linked to improve
lab efficiency and large-scale processing.
*Tracer system is incorporated in SX/LX series only. With EX/DX series, the NIDEK's
Intelligent Blocker ICE-9000 or Satellite Tracer LT-900 can be combined.
