Integrated Automatic Lens Edging System for Optical Laboratories
The FC-600 and FE-620 automatic lens edger system combines optical frame scanning, center positioning and multi-material lens edging in a coordinated workflow. It is designed for optical shops, prescription lens laboratories and dispensing centers that need repeatable frame tracing, visual centration guidance and efficient finishing from one paired system.
FC-600 Optical Center Scanner
The FC-600 integrates optical scanning with lens center positioning. The system is documented to capture the shape and size of the frame eyewire in approximately three seconds, while real-time imaging helps the operator confirm the selected center position.
- Optical frame scanning and center positioning in one workstation.
- Approximately three-second frame-shape acquisition.
- Real-time imaging guidance for centration confirmation.
- Designed to reduce errors associated with lens power, prism and operator parallax.
- Graphics storage and editing functions for repeat workflows.
- Software-upgrade capability for continued system use.
FE-620 Automatic Lens Edger
The FE-620 performs automatic edging and forming for a range of lens materials. Multiple grinding methods and pressure options allow the processing approach to be adapted to different lens requirements, while flat-edge polishing supports a finished optical-laboratory workflow.
- Automatic edging for multiple lens materials.
- Multiple grinding methods and pressure settings.
- Flat-edge polishing capability.
- Wheel configuration designed for integrated edging functions.
- Can be paired with a second edging unit to create a higher-throughput machining center.
Connected Tracing, Centering and Edging Workflow
After the FC-600 captures and stores the frame shape, the operator can edit the graphics and confirm lens positioning before transferring the job to the FE-620. This connected approach reduces manual handoffs and helps optical laboratories organize tracing, centration and finishing in one workflow.
Applications
The system is suitable for optical retail stores with in-house finishing, prescription lens laboratories, ophthalmic dispensing centers, training laboratories and distributor projects requiring a complete automatic edging solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the FC-600 do?
The FC-600 optically scans the frame eyewire, captures its shape and size, and provides real-time guidance for lens center positioning before edging.
What lens materials can the FE-620 process?
The source documentation states that the edger supports a variety of lens materials. The exact material range, coatings and recommended pressure settings should be confirmed for the ordered wheel configuration.
Can the system store and edit frame shapes?
Yes. The documented system includes graphics storage and graphic-editing functions for traced frame data.
Can more than one edger be connected?
The source documentation indicates that two edging units can be connected to create a machining center for higher-throughput workflows.
