Semi-Automatic Lenticular Lathe

As with the manual lathe, the CityCrown Semi Automatic Lenticular Lathe is known for being both reliable and robust. The added benefit of the automated movement contributes to a consistent lens specifications and an excellent surface finish.

The semi automatic lathe is available in both lenticular and single slide versions. The lenticular top slide lathe is capable of cutting two curves in one pass. CityCrown semi automatic lathes embody all the features of the manual lathes i.e. variable spindle speed together with balanced and vibration free operation. The main additional feature is the automatic top slide traverse which has a coarse feed rate for rough cuts and a fine feed rate for finish cuts. This ensures continuous high quality surface finish which effectively reduces reject rates. On the current generation of these machines the lenticular top slides have been redesigned to further improve surface finish. Solid state circuitry has replaced relays and microswitches to reduce maintenance and downtime. The low profile aspect of the lathe makes it comfortable to operate. The machine cuts both convex and concave surfaces. As an optional extra the lever feed attachment can be fitted to facilitate rapid advancement and withdrawal of the headstock to and from the working position. Suitable for hard, soft and gas permeable materials.
