Essilor Neksia™

Essilor Neksia™ Automatic Lens Edging and Centering System

📌 What is the System and What is It Used For?

Essilor Neksia™ is a next-generation digital lens processing system developed to accelerate daily workflows, increase precision, and simplify lens mounting processes in optical shops and edging workshops.

The system operates through the seamless integration of two main components:

  • Tracer & Centering/Blocking Unit (Left): Accurately scans the frame geometry in 3D, detects focal points, and performs the blocking process.
  • Digital Lens Edger Unit (Right – Neksia Edger): Shapes the lens according to the scanned form, applies beveling, and cuts grooves for semi-rimless frames.

⚙️ Core Features of Essilor Neksia™

1. User-Friendly Interface
  • Touchscreen Support: Color touchscreens on both units guide users step-by-step with intuitive icons and multi-language support.
  • Smart Workflow: An ergonomic software architecture that can be mastered quickly even by novice staff, reducing the risk of error to zero.
2. Precision 3D Frame Tracing & Centering
  • Binocular 3D Tracing: Digitizes metal, acetate, and semi-rimless frame types in 3D while accounting for tilt angles, curvatures, and depth variations.
  • Optical Camera Centering: Allows you to clearly view the lens optical center on a high-resolution screen and perform blocking with zero axis shift.
3. Versatile & Flexible Lens Processing Capability
  • Advanced Beveling & Grooving: Cuts grooves for semi-rimless (nylon) frames and applies angle-adjusted beveling suited to lens thickness for full-rim frames.
  • Precise Material Management: Offers specialized edging modes for organic (CR39), mineral, polycarbonate, trivex, and high-index lens materials.
  • Quiet & Durable Motor Technology: Delivers high-precision cutting while keeping operational noise to a minimum in the workshop environment.

🚀 Advantages for Optical Stores

  • High Efficiency & Speed: Significantly shortens workshop delivery times by increasing daily mounting capacity.
  • Zero Error Rate: Prevents angular mistakes and axis shifts caused by human error.
  • Reliable Progressive Mounting: Ensures a perfect fit and visual comfort for multifocal (progressive) lenses requiring precise centering.
  • Compact & Sleek Design: A modern, ergonomic body structure that fits easily onto any workbench.
