  • PRODUCTION LINE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OPHTHALMIC LENSES
    Publication number: 20260138342
    Abstract: An automated production line for the production of ophthalmic lenses comprises: a production line front end (1) comprising: a first injection-molding machine (10) and a second injection-molding machine (12) a casting module (14) comprising a filling station (144) and a capping station (145); a stacking module (15) and a curing module (16); a destacking module (17) and a demolding and delensing module a production line back end (2) comprising: a scalable treatment module (20); an inspection module (21); a primary packaging module (22), Wherein the first and second injection-molding machines allow for a quick exchange of the tooling plates used in the injection molding machine without the need to decrease the temperature of the injection molding machine by pre-configured tooling plates.
