Santinelli Le 1000

Heavy-Duty, Durable Mechanism
The Le 1000 is designed with the most advanced CAD (Computer Aided Design) components.
A direct drive gear system maintains cylindrical axis with every cut.
Size is controlled by a newly designed Y-axis direct drive assembly with a specialized servo motor, achieving consistent high precision results.
An integrated stabilizer keeps the chucking pressure consistent, yet without harming lens coatings.
Together, these components result in a heavy-duty, durable mechanism.

Grooving & Safety Beveling
The Le 1000 features a specially designed grooving wheel,
which achieves a superior groove quality with “pin-point” accuracy.
A reduced grooving wheel diameter, set at the optimal angle,
grooves highly curved lenses flawlessly.
A newly designed safety beveling wheel provides accurate and consistent design
and appearance of safety bevel on any lens.
Safety bevel, either on front and rear, or rear only, is selectable.

High Efficiency Spindle Motor
With its direct drive main motor and wheel spindle,
the Le 1000 offers extremely high reliability.
In terms of electricity consumption, this motor is significantly efficient compared to general A/C motors.

Reduced Water Volume
Typically, when a lens edger is connected to direct water,
there is a large amount of water consumption.
But with the Le 1000, the amount of water used is reduced by 40%* in comparison
to our conventional model. (*When processing CR-39 or high index lenses.)

Integrated Air Duct Deodorization
Incorporating a duct to attach hoses for connecting deodorization equipment
and ventilation fans to control the smell during lens processing.

High-Precision 3-D Frame Tracer
The Le 1000 incorporates a tracer into the main console,
which realizes the world’s smallest footprint.
With its user-friendly design, frame setting position can be easily observed during
the tracing process.

Chuck Pressure Stabilizer
An integrated stabilizer keeps the chuck pressure consistent,
without harming lens coatings.
The chuck pressure is maintained and stabilized to avoid unnecessary lens distortion and coating damage throughout the edging cycle.

Easy Shape Editor
With the Le 1000’s Easy Shape Editor, lens shape width and height can be easily altered.
Changing the height of drill mount frames for improved progressive lenses’ layout is easily achieved.

Color-Coded Lens Identification
The R/L indicator lamp helps operators to correctly identify right and left lenses in combination with the use of green and red cups.

Soft Grinding Mode
The Le 1000 features Soft Grinding Mode for processing slippery super-hydrophobic coated lenses, avoiding axis shift and lens crazing.
Our technology of axis stability is outstanding in the industry.
