ALE-5000/5000SG, FR-50

Topcon proudly introduces a new generation of innovative 3D patternless edgers for the 21st Century.....the ALE-5000 Series. The all-material ALE-5000's precise accuracy and extremely fast operation ensures consistently finished lenses. The user-friendly, large, color, LCD screen and WINDOWS® - format operating system provides comfortable viewing and simple operation. The ALE-5000SG model provides the increased benefits of unsurpassed safety beveling and grooving.

The FR-50's precise 3D tracing system features a fully hands-free scanning device that reads 10,000 points of reference per eyewear, which provides " watch-making " accuracy. Its automatic Soft-Touch^TM frame positioning mechanism prevents frame distortion and aberration of frame dimensions. The system operates 30% faster than previous model without compromising Topcon's well-known consistent tracing accuracy. 

SUPERIOR VERSATILITY

The ALE-5000 Series processes all materials ; plastic, polycarbonate, high index, acrylic and glass. To minimize obsolescence, the WINDOWS® - format operating system allows our software programmers to incorporate the processing of future lens materials by simple ROM upgrades. The on-board software memorizes sizing and bevel position parameters for individual materials. The ALE-5000 ensures operator confidence whether it is a low price lens being cut, or a premium lens that is being processed. 

PRECISE EDGING CONTROL

The technologically advance control system enables precise final fitting. The edging process is 30% faster, while maintaining Topcon's unmatched Diamond-Luster Finish^TM. The ALE-5000 Series automatically determines the ultimate bevel position no matter what lens power is being edged. The instrument simultaneously displays the bevel position at both the maximum and minimum lens thickness. This enables precise confirmation of the bevel position.

GROOVING / SAFETY BEVELING / SAFETY BEVEL WITH POLISH

The ALE-5000SG has a unique multi-functional arm that provides accurate and precise grooving, safety beveling and the world's first safety bevel polishing. Even and inexperienced operator can achieve optimum results with the ALE-5000SG.

AUTOMATIC FRAME HOLDER

The one-touch frame holding system secures the frame for perfect " on-axis " tracing. 

PATTERN HOLDER

The newly designed pattern/rimless holding device allows for virtually automatic measurement of pattern or rimless lenses. Inserting the device causes the measurement sensor to automatically rise. The sensor then automatically returns to its storage position when the measurement is complete.

REMOTE TRACING CAPABILITY

Since the FR-50 is a stand-alone instrument, it can be ideally used as an integral part of a remote tracing system. The OMA protocol, which is incorporated into the FR-50's operating system, allows the device to be used with the most popular remote tracing software packages.
