Up to 11 mm height step beveling
Step beveling enables secure fitting of Rx lenses into sunglass and sport frames. Partial step beveling allows precise material removal in defined zones, supporting specialty and complex frame geometries. The ME-1 accepts lenses up to ø90 mm and step heights up to 11 mm, enabling advanced bevel requirements for lab production.

High curve and custom beveling for sport and specialty frames
NIDEK’s front and rear independent grinding function produces high base curve bevels with precise control. Operators can adjust bevel position and height manually. Trapezoidal beveling with adjustable front/rear heights and apex width improves both fit and finish for curved and sport designs.

Design cut to unlock creativity
The ME-1 mills lenses according to shapes defined on the blocker, enabling hook-style and other custom lens profiles. Combined with partial step beveling, this supports production of specialty eyewear designs while maintaining repeatability.

Automatic 3D drilling
The drill unit handles slots, notches, counterbored holes and jewel holes with accuracy. With a 0–30° tilt range, the unit performs angled drilling required for many rimless and semi-rim designs, supporting precise assembly requirements.

Optimized processing sequence
Synchronized movements and an optimized processing flow reduce cycle times and increase throughput for mixed production runs.

Durability for long-term operation
The reinforced structural design increases rigidity across the unit, ensuring stable, accurate processing and extended service life—critical for high-volume optical labs.
