ALE-2008 Automatic Lens Edger for Optical Laboratories
The ALE-2008 automatic lens edger is a template-based lens-finishing system for optical shops and prescription lens laboratories. Its documented workflow combines automatic pressure clamping, separate processing for mineral-glass and plastic or resin lenses, bevel and flat-edge selection, polishing and automatic re-grinding.
Automatic Pressure Clamping
The pressure-clamp system automatically adjusts and tightens the lens in approximately three seconds. The controlled clamping sequence is designed to reduce lens movement during processing and support consistent centering while limiting unnecessary pressure on the lens.
Four-Wheel Grinding and Polishing System
- Dedicated grinding wheels for plastic or resin lenses and mineral-glass lenses.
- Separate wheel for V-bevel forming and re-beveling.
- Dedicated polishing wheel for the finishing stage.
- Selectable bevel and flat-edge processing.
- Trial-edging modes for glass and plastic processing workflows.
- Automatic re-grinding for an additional finishing pass.
Template-Based Sizing and Control
An adjustable template table controls final edging size across a documented 26–110 mm grinding range. The control panel combines pattern selection, size adjustment, process indicators and an alarm, while the microcomputer controller supports the primary edging and re-grinding functions.
Applications
The ALE-2008 is intended for prescription-lens finishing, frame fitting, replacement-lens production and re-edging work in optical shops and optical laboratories. Confirm the exact lens materials, coatings and intended processing workload before ordering.
Accessories and Installation Planning
The source brochure lists a matched working table, operating instructions, electrical cable, adjustment tools, demo driller and centering device. Exact included items are governed by the approved quotation. Buyers should confirm the local voltage and plug, installation space, utilities and required accessory package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the ALE-2008 process both glass and plastic lenses?
The documented wheel system provides dedicated processing for mineral-glass and plastic or resin lenses. Confirm the specific materials and coatings used by your laboratory.
Does it support bevel and flat-edge processing?
Yes. The source lists selectable bevel and flat-edge modes together with re-beveling, polishing and automatic re-grinding functions.
What should be confirmed before quotation?
Provide the lens materials, expected workload, local electrical supply, installation space and required accessories so the final configuration and scope of supply can be confirmed.
