Patternless Edger

ALE-5100 Series

Topcon is introducing its new ALE-5100

High Speed Model as the latest

addition to ALE-5100 series

with its perfect reputation

for processing high quality

lenses.

This model was reborn as a

speedy and ecological lens

edger of the new era with

signi�cantly faster processing

speed and 30% reduction in

machining time. Due to the

decreased processing time it

contributes to the reduction of

the energy consumption, which

makes it more friendly to the

environment. In addition to the

conventional capability of accurate

processing of high quality reliable

lenses, it also ensures smoother work�ow

and meets the need of all shops and

individual customers.

ALE-5100 High Speed Model is equipped with a

special High Speed Mode. You can switch to High

speed Mode easily just by touching one button

and perform lens processing at even higher speed.

Topcon ALE-5100 Series o�ers rich line-up of advanced lens edgers that meet the needs of all optometry professionals

from individual customers to big shops.

The large 10.4" color screen provides a clear

and easily readable display. By using the intuitive

Windows®-format style menu, the operator can

quickly enter all the required data. The color

screen displays both the right and left shapes in

their actual-size, which allows for quick

veri�cation of the lens size.

Convenient POP-UP Display

The optional rimless frame designer software allows

the operator to alter the lens �nal shape to customize

3-piece rimless frames. This operating software can

increase or decrease the nasal, temporal, superior and

inferior sides; ideal for accommodating progressive

lenses to patients' decentrations.

Rimless Shape Designer (Optional Software)

Job Memory

As a standard feature, the ALE-5100 Series can store

up to 2000 jobs through the Function Keys.

An optional bar-code reader is also available.

Superior Versatilty

The ALE-5100 Series processes all materials with individual settings for plastic, polycarbonate, high-index, Trivex, acrylic,

glass, photochromic glass and thinner hyperhigh index lenses. To minimize obsolescence, the WINDOWS®-format operating

system allows us to incorporate processing of future lens materials by simple ROM upgrades. The on-board software

memorizes sizing and bevel position parameters for individual materials. The one-block solution accommodates all frame

eye sizes, base curves and even the most hydrophobic lens coatings. The ALE-5100 has addressed all the everyday challenges

in the �nishing lab. It allows for �awless and e�cient operation of your sta� and provides the ultimate �nished product.

Stages of Operation

Di�erent screen colors are used on the display to indicate the various atages of operation.

The WINDOWS®-format multi-task job function allows for multiple job processing.

In the Manual Mode, the operator can adjust the

bevel position at will. The ALE-5100SG provides

adjustment of groove position as well as control

of safety bevel placement.

Unequaled Ease-of-operation

Ultimate Quality

Specialty Lenses

The ALE-5100 Series automatically calculates the ideal bevel

placement for specialty lenses such as executives, lenticular

and even higher-base curved lenses.

Precise Edging Control

The technologically advanced control system enables precise �nal

�tting. The ALE-5100 Series automatically determines the ultimate

bevel position no matter what lens power is being edged. The 3-D

tracing is incorporated in the edger's calculation for bevel position

at the thinnest and thickest edge portion of the lens and it is displayed

on the color screen for precise con�rmation of the bevel position.

Applicable for higher base-curve frames

All the ALE-5100 series edgers have an edging mode that can be

used for higher base-curve frames.

Grooving/Safety Beveling/Safety Bevel with Polish

The ALE-5100SG has a unique multi-functional arm that provides

accurate and precise grooving and safety beveling. The full range

of controls provides selectable width and groove positioning and

adjustable safety bevel settings. Even an inexperienced operator

can achieve optimum results with the ALE-5100SG.

FR-5000 Frame Reader

Advanced frame reader featuring high base-curve frame tracing

Swing Function

The ultimate combination of the FR-5000 with swing function and

the ALE-5100HC with mini wheel makes it possible and easier to

complete higher base-curve frame tracing and edging. The FR-5000

stylus varies tracing speed depending on type and/or shape of

frames that provides more precise trace data.

Revolutionary advanced swing function is newly applied

on the FR-5000 for measuring higher base-curve frames.

Conventionally, to trace a high base-curve frame, it was

necessary to hold the frame by hand. Now the FR-5000

enables fully hands free tracing by utilizing automated

swing function that moves quickly to accurately trace

any type of modern design frames.

FR-50

Optional Accessory

Frame Reader

Integrated BlockerDS-5000

Basic frame reader

The FR-50 is a basic 3D tracing system which can read up to 1,000

points of reference per lens rim, providing high precision and accuracy.

Its stand alone con�guration makes the FR-series ideal for use as an

integral part of a remote tracing system. Pattern holding device allows

for virtually automatic measurement of pattern and rimless lenses.

The DS-5000 accepts the inputted PD and height settings

from the ALE-5100 and instantly displays the correct lens

blocking position. The block is placed on the geometrical

center of the lens for good position and perfect edging.
