Top Line: Ophthalmic lens processing systems and ophthalmic instruments, leader Coburn Technologies, has launched the Nexus Digital Surfacing System, which leverages the technology in the acclaimed Cobalt Digital Lab to produce high quality digital Rx lenses. The new system will be on display at Vision Expo East.
Close Up: The Nexus Digital surfacing system includes the Nexus DGT Digital Lens Generator and the Nexus DP Digital Lens Polisher. Each system represents a significant upgrade from its predecessor.
Vital Stats: The system offers 50 percent improvement in productivity along with a new fast tool servo axis consisting of proprietary voice coil and air bearing design. A larger cutter allows for faster material removal. The system also has a larger user interface, illuminated interior and stylized covers. It has accommodation for an integrated chiller and static protection for communication lines with temperature monitoring in electrical cabinets. 
The system continues to offer the same benefits to the market as its predecessor, the Cobalt System, including a compact footprint paired with cold mist dry cutting technology and automatic calibration. Features also include a precision frameless spindle motor assembly with linear motor y-axis and single point turning technologies as pioneered and invented by Coburn.
“The Cobalt Surfacing System was introduced in 2018 and over the years we saw an opportunity to design an even better platform which we have now delivered in the form of the NEXUS system,” said Alex Incera, president of Coburn Technologies, Inc. “This result was years in the making to ensure we could deliver an even higher performance system.”
