Your benefits: • Tremendous time savings with fully automatic axis and tool calibration, eliminating time consuming visual inspections and adjustments, independent from operator experience• Greatly reduces operator errors • Easy operation: can be operated by less-skilled persons within minutes• Consistent quality with integrated surface measurement system and control algorithmus• Cost savings though higher production yields Unique: VFT engraving (optional for VFT-compact and VFT-ultra)Engraving of semi visible markings on free-formlenses with a tool tip mounted on a fast tool axis while lens is still in collet chuck inside the generator. Unique: Fully automated axis and tool calibration (optional for VFT–ultra)For precision processing axis and tool cali- bration – including alignment of tools, axis and tool geometry – is critical. Precise axis align- ment – especially for center point adjustment – is key for all turning techniques. The actual tool shape as well as the tool´s cutting edge condi- tions affect the surface form accuracy and demand precise and reliable tool calibration. Previous techniques required complex manual calibrations with tremendous expenditure of time, and true tool calibrations were almost impossible. Satisloh engineers created a revolutionary solution: automated axis adjustment and tool calibration based on a built-in probing system so called autocalibration. Your benefits: •Maximum positioning accuracy •No extra lens handling - ready to be polishedand deblocked•Layout editor allows free definition of sym-bols, characters, members and even logos for permanent lens markings•Easy and reliable recognition of semi visible markings•Saves investment into external marking systems Easy Service and Maintenance VFT models are easily accessible for service and maintenance due to many years of experience of Satisloh´s engeneering team. The benefits: •Exceptional accurate waviness-free surface quality by proprietary fast tool technology, high damping polymer concrete machine base, rigid design, low friction axis and high performance control system with sophistica- ted control algorithms•Ultimate surface form accuracy (no stick-slip effects in air bearing spindles)•Cost savings due to elimination of hard lap polishing tools and associated labour•Short polishing times by using conformable polishing tools•Lowest cost per lens in generating and polishing of free-form industrial lenses VFT – Fast Tool Technology All VFT models work with the highly precise fast tool technology – an innovative single point turning process utilizing PCD or industrial diamond tools. The fast-tool technology produces ready-to- polish lenses for all organic materials – toric, spheric, free-form, convex or concave surfaces with highest surface quality and form accuracy. Your benefits: • Two industrial generators in one: optimum process setup• Unprecedented productivity Unique: Second fast tool axis (option) • Lowest cost per lens VFT-ultra generator can be equipped with a second fast tool to optimize setup and elimi- nate compromises. Use one fast tool for ultimate productivity (e.g. toric surfaces) while the other tool can be optimized for free-form processing. Or optimize processes for different lens materials, e.g. for extended tool life. • Reduced tool costs, extended tool life • Mixed materials processing without tool change
