The NEXUS Digital Surfacing System leverages the technology in the acclaimed Cobalt Digital Lab to produce high-quality digital RX lenses. The system includes the NEXUS DGT Digital Lens Generator and the NEXUS DP Digital Lens Polisher. Each system represents a significant upgrade from its predecessor.

The Huvitz HT-5000 Applanation Tonometer is an easy, fast, and convenient device that quickly measures eye pressure. It is the only application tonometer on the market that processes IOP calculation virtually in real-time, displays results digitally, and has a zero-delay wakeup time. Calibration is simple with readings displayed more sensitively to the user’s control. HT-5000 is also designed for the patient and doctor’s comfort, including a slanted display to match the angle of the user’s view for more comfortable observation, and a wide grip knob for easier adjustment of measuring prism.

Coburn Technologies is the combination of two pioneers in the industry – Coburn Manufacturing Company and Gerber Optical. Founded in 1954, Coburn Manufacturing Company introduced itself to the market with the 108 “Rocket” lens generator, quickly transforming the optical lens processing landscape. Gerber Optical, founded in 1987, developed the first automated 3-axis CNC surface generator, the SG8. These products launched the company’s legacy in lens processing, igniting decades of innovation and expansion into a wide array of product lines ranging from surface generating, blocking, polishing, cleaning, and coating machines to in-office lens finishing systems and diagnostic tools. 

Among the accomplishments achieved throughout Coburn’s legacy, the most notable are the invention of the first single-point turning generator, automated spin coating technology, and the first reusable blocking alternative to alloy. Over the years, the company accumulated numerous awards and patents, making an indelible mark on the optical industry. Coburn has continued that legacy with the recent introduction of the industry’s first waterless automated deblocker and alloy recovery system. At Vision Expo West 2023, Coburn Technologies, in collaboration with SDC Technologies, introduced the CrystalChrome Photochromic Spin Coating System, enabling labs to produce photochromic lenses on demand. The company’s willingness to react to the marketplace and its customers’ needs defines its leadership position and sets the stage for great things to come. 

Through various company identities including Coburn Optical Industries, Inc., Gerber Optical, and Gerber Coburn (a division of Gerber Scientific), the company vision has remained the same: serve the optical industry by supplying optical labs with breakthrough technology to maximize productivity and enhance the patient experience with improved eyecare solutions. 

“Looking ahead, we will continue our legacy of innovation and unwavering dedication to service. We have a strong, forward-thinking team dedicated to advancing technologies for optical labs and eyecare practices,” stated Alex Incera, President of Coburn. “Our new ownership by SDC Technologies, who shares the same commitment to technology and customer service, further establishes and strengthens our dedication to the optical industry.”

“The new Agility Autodeblocker completes our automated post-polishing product offering. When combined with our Duality De-Taper & Cleaner, and our award-winning Velocity Lens Coater, our customers can fully automate the post-polishing process,” explains Coburn Technologies President Alex Incera. “Lenses can be deblocked, de-taped, cleaned and coated in minutes without operator involvement”.

Agility is ideal for high volume labs that prefer a convenient automated solution. Both lenses are automatically removed from a job tray, placed onto the appropriate deblocking rings, and then deblocked simultaneously using mechanical action. Contrary to deblocking with powerful water jets that displace alloy, causes alloy waste, and produce contaminated water waste, Agility separates the lens from the block, without water, in one clean, swift, mechanical action.

“The name ‘Agility’ embodies our goals for the capabilities of the machine; rapidity, resilience and boldness” Alex Incera explains. The technology is also versatile in its ability to process a wide range of lens geometries and ring diameters. Agility is both UL and CE certified.
