Nidek RHU-1000 Robotic Handling Unit
NIDEK’s new robotic edging system, the RHU-1000 can substantially increase the output of finished lenses in your lab and decrease labour-intensive operations. Designed to accommodate high volume lens processing and easy to program, the RHU-1000 will increase profits and enable faster service to customers. This revolutionary robotic unit can be purchased with an optical tray stacker (RHU-1000 S) or can be custom-fitted to a conveyor belt system (RHU-1000 CB). The RHU-1000's unique single robot/single edger composition makes the unit more efficient and easier to maintain, as compared to single robot/multi-edger units. The unique CD style feeder eliminates Job Waiting Syndrome and job tray bottlenecking increasing output up to 30 jobs per hour.
The unit partners with NIDEK’s new SE-9090 Express, winner of the 2004 OLA Award of Excellence. The SE-9090 Express offers pinpoint precision, 24/7 durability and outstanding consistency. The RHU-1000 can be retrofitted to any previously installed SE-9090 edger and the RHU-1000(S) is fully compatible with Nidek or LOH/Weco finishing trays and blocks, and compliant with VCA Standard Protocol.
