Cosmetic Inspection

Today, cosmetic inspection is mostly performed manually by operators, resulting in subjective evaluations that vary from operator to operator and lab to lab. This lack of consistency can lead to quality discrepancies and increase the number of rejected lenses.
 
Achieve objective, consistent results

Our automated solution delivers precise, repeatable analysis throughout the entire process. By eliminating human variability, it ensures every lens is inspected to the same high standard, detecting surface imperfections and ensuring uniform quality.

WHAT THEY SAY

For us, the DLM is synonymous with quality and certification. Yes, it contributes to acquire and keep the customer confidence. It also helps to verify the concordance between the manufactured lens and the prescription.

The DLM is essential equipment for any prescription laboratory, Free-form or not. The quality control is very important at each step of the lens manufacturing. 

The partnership with Automation & Robotics is our best asset to remain faithful to our policies.

Subjectivity has been removed from the inspection process and we can rely on providing excellent quality to the eyecare practitioners, consistently.

The A&R machines have proven to be very reliable and deliver great accuracy. We get great support from the A&R service team and enjoy working with them.

We see an essential component for the manufacturing of individually optimised lenses in the technique by Automation & Robotics.

I would say that A&R is open to new developments.  It was worth submitting them our request and we were pleased to come here for testing

We were impressed by A&R policy, its designs, developments and customized and reliable solutions.

Our returns for manufacturing reasons decreased dramatically once the machines were installed.

Thanks to the well-studied conveyors layout, the machines are fed in a simply way, in particular via deviations to regulate the flow at the entrance of the machines. 

We found in A&R equipment the solution to face a difficult challenge : continued growth, expanding shifts (weekend & night), training of good quality control operators, combined with seasonal fluctuations (holidays, promotions…) made our QC operations difficult to manage.

When we first deployed the new dispatch envelope, our marketing department was anxious to hear feedback on customer acceptance.  The reaction of the opticians to our new envelope was very positive.  They particularly appreciated the cleanliness of the packaging and its professional appearance.  In short, the acceptance was excellent.

We are making good use of our new promapper in our production and as a pleasing result we have also improved the quality of our surfacing line output.

I use ProMapper every day to check the quality of my lenses. It's really a fundamental help in maintaining a high level of product quality.

Being users of the Promappers and Neomapper , its ability to provide a detailed map of each lens is essential in modern day lens production, identifying production issues like dull diamonds in real-time or worn polishing tools. This has significantly enhanced our confidence in the product quality and consistency​.
