IRiS - THE FUTURE OF GEOMETRIC LENS METROLOGY 

The Optimec Systems IRiS lens imaging system is a new generation of OCT technology, integrated into a modular product line suitable for the demands of today's lens manufacturers. 
 
Advances in contact lens manufacturing, with more complex designs and increased customisation, have left production control methods trailing behind. Existing geometric metrology systems can be subjective, destructive and time consuming, often with lots of manual handling, manual data entry and generally at the end of the production process. 

IRiS is the key to the future of geometric metrology 

Utilising Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), the IRiS lens imaging system is faster, more accurate and more informative compared to existing geometric inspection systems. 
 
OCT allows for non-contact inspection in both air and fluid, covering all types of materials and lens designs, 
providing complete geometric measurement from edge to edge. 
 
In addition, the IRiS enables users to obtain measurements that have previously required multiple instruments and user skillsets, or have been unobtainable by non-destructive methods. 
Measurements can be obtained at all stages of the production process with one single technology, allowing feedback to the production process where is it needed thus reducing costs by allowing rejects to be made before value is added.  
 
A fully digital system allows for full traceability of measurement from beginning to end of the production cycle, allowing for full automation of the measurement process.

ADAPTABLE TO YOU 

Optimec Systems has a long and proven history of providing simple to use, ‘user friendly’ measurement instrumentation that requires minimal training and set-up time. 

The IRiS is modular and can be customised to match your exact requirements 
 
Finished Lenses? In Process? Fully Automated? The IRiS can fit in anywhere in your production. With a modular Head unit, the IRiS can scale with you or be integrated into a specific metrology setup. From manual loaded sample inspection for R&D to 100% 24/7 inspection, the IRiS can be matched to your needs. 
 
Electronic Mirror Control 
Automate the switch from air to fluid measurement, expand measurement depth in-process 
 
Electronic Aperture Control 
Auto intensity control for image quality and speed changes 
 
Top-Down illumination 
For in-process inspection, or combined with rear-illumination 

In-process inspection 

Measure blocked samples at both key production stages with the following IRiS options: 
 
Dovetail mounting for easy integration 
Top-Down Illumination 
Electronic Aperture Control 

Final inspection 

Measure wet or dry in R&D or Quality control applications with the following IRiS options: 
 
IRiS Stand with Lens handling 
Rear Illumination 
Temperature Control 
Electronic Mirror Contro

Integration Options 

The IRiS has been designed to integrate directly into your production process. We can provide turn-key automation solutions based on our Modular Automation Platform (MAP), or utilise our control software API to link with your existing automation solution.
