AutoPacker

The AutoPacker is designed for use in mid to large volume prescription laboratories. After the job-identification, the lenses are unloaded from the job tray and centered. An envelope type is chosen from the magazine out of eighteen different envelope types, the lens is inserted in the envelope, and a label is printed and applied to the flap of the envelope which seals the envelope shut. Before loading the packaged lens into its original job tray a check is made to ensure the envelope is not empty.The machine is also capable of packing cut lenses.
The 600 lenses per hour capacity and the completely automatic cycle which avoids any mispackaging, coupled with our years of experience in the field of packaging RX glasses are proof of its value. This machine is best utilized after the Automatic Control and Inking Unit.

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.
