Essilor Instruments launches Delta2

An all-in-one solution for tracing, centering and edging

Essilor Instruments is expanding its range of solutions for labs and workshops with the introduction of Delta2, a new compact edging system combining the functionality of a tracer, center/blocker and edger in one compact unit.

Delta2 brings a new level of simplicity and performance enabling opticians to work with more comfort, speed and precision. Designed to be more user-friendly and intuitive, Delta2 features a new single display to pilot all tasks traditionally performed on two or three separate machines. This all-in-one functionality meets a growing need in today’s workshops for compact and cost-effective solutions that increase productivity and improve ergonomics by eliminating the need to move from one machine to another.

Delta2 offers a new ‘Place and Trace’ technology enabling any lens shape to be traced in seconds as well as Optical Shape Tracing technology to ensure complete precision in 3D lens contours. It traces all types of lenses including demo lenses, re-cut lenses and patterns irrespective of lens colour or power.

Its patented system works in a smooth and continuous operation to streamline the number of hand movements required to center and block lenses in all types of materials (up to base 6 and including hydrophobic lenses). In addition, a full parallel workflow enables the optician to prepare a new job while edging a lens at the same time.
