Coburn Technologies, a global leader in ophthalmic lens processing, in partnership with parent company SDC Technologies, announces the launch of the Velocity TT, the market’s newest tabletop optical lens spin coater. Designed to meet the needs of small and mid-sized labs, the Velocity TT Spin Coating System is a compact, cost-efficient solution that occupies substantially less space, making high-quality lens coating accessible for labs of any size.
“The Velocity TT expands our offerings, providing a compact and affordable solution that enables labs of any size to efficiently hard coat lenses in-house, saving time and resources,” stated Adrian Suran, Business Unit Manager, UV Coatings. “Smaller, independent labs can now benefit from quality coating results while saving on space, resources, and shipping,” he continued.
Since the debut of the Velocity platform in 2016, Coburn has transformed lens processing for optical labs and produced higher-quality coated lenses for customers worldwide. Velocity has evolved to meet the needs of labs of all sizes in the form of Automated Velocity, Automated Velocity 1.5, Automated Velocity 2D, Manual Velocity, and Velocity LTE. Velocity LTE was introduced in 2019 as Coburn’s most compact spin coating unit, serving smaller independent labs. Now, Coburn Technologies is proud to introduce a more advanced and efficient, compact design.
Velocity TT loads two lenses simultaneously, offering set-and-forget functionality which frees up operators to perform other productive tasks during the coating cycle. Velocity TT’s intuitive workflow includes a simple and convenient loading station, washing station, and curing station. Velocity TT coats with All Solids (100% Solids) coatings, processing two lenses in just two minutes (a throughput of 50 lenses per hour.) Equipped with advanced motor technology, the Velocity TT ensures consistent spin speeds for uniform coating without requiring calibration.
“With the addition of Velocity TT to the family of spin coaters, Coburn now offers the most comprehensive line of spin coaters in the market,” concluded Mr Suran.
