The LE-9000LX Standard edger is the most affordable edger in the Ionian Optical extended line of finishing products. Providing the features and quality you expect from Ionian Optical, like ease-of-use, unsurpassed accuracy and our edge polish. An on-board tracer provides highly accurate 3-D tracing with minimal pressure, eliminating frame distortion and an unprecedented 32,000 reference points per eye - the highest in the industry! Frame PD is also automatically measured, eliminating the need for manual measurement and input. The LE-9000LX Edger offers fast, accurate, and consistently reliable lens processing at every step of the operation, from frame tracing to edging. The LX model is perfect for finishing labs with "challenging" budgets and work space.

Features

• Automatic Chamfering & Grooving
  NIDEK's SX series of patternless edgers provide automatic chamfering and grooving, with a multidisk arm that grooves and chamfers in one operation.
• Wider Grinding Wheel
  The 20% wider, more durable grinding wheel has an improved carriage that facilitates grinding of even thicker lenses at greater speed.
• Flexible and Versatile
  The LE-9000SX/LX series edgers can process any type of lens material, including glass*, plastic, polycarbonate and acrylic lenses.
  *Except model PLB, which is recommended only for use on plastic.
• Built-in Tracer*
  The edger incorporates a tracer into the main console and achieves the smallest footprint in the world.
  *SX/LX series only.
• High Speed, High Precision 3D Tracing*
  The edger provides precise tracing in all three dimensions. Unlike die plates, the edger finishes even highly curved frames with greater accuracy.
  *SX/LX series only.
• Fully Automatic Measurement of Patterns and Dummy Lenses*
  The LE-9000 automatically measures frame, pattern and dummy lenses, and at completion of the operation the measuring pin returns to its housing.
  *SX/LX series only.
• Dual Tracing System*
  As both sides of lenses are traced with high accuracy, a perfect fit is possible even when there are subtle differences between right and left lenses.
  The frame PD is automatically measured, eliminating the need for manual measurement and input.
  *SX/LX series only.
• Low-Pressure Active Control Stylus*
  Accurate tracing is accomplished at low pressure, eliminating frame distortion and disengagement.
  *SX/LX series only.
• Mirror Polish
  LE-9000's "Mirror Polishing" produces mirror-like lenses.

Speed Up
The LE-9000 features high speed processing at every step of operation---frame tracing*, lens measurement, calculation and edging. Operation time is reduced to 1/3 compared to that of our first edger model.

• High Quality
  32,000 data points per processing round ensures a precise fit.
• Frame Memory
  100 tracing patterns can be stored in memory, and with the optional bar code reader, up to 500 patterns can be stored.
• Great Efficiency
  With the NIDEK's Intelligent Blocker ICE-2000, Satellite Tracer LT-900, Lab Edger SE-9090 and a PC, various lens processing systems can be easily linked to improve lab efficiency and large-scale processing.

*Tracer system is incorporated in SX/LX series only. With EX/DX series, the NIDEK's Intelligent Blocker ICE-9000 or Satellite Tracer LT-900 can be combined.

LE-9000SX Express

The LE-9000SX Express Edger contains all the exceptional features of the LE-9000 with the highest speed and accuracy available in the series.

The LE-9000SX Express is an all-in-one edger, giving operators the option to manually over-ride automatic settings to enter safety beveling and grooving specifications. The on-board tracer digitizes an unprecedented 32,000 points of reference per frame side. The right and left sides of the frame are independently measured, eliminating the need to retouch lenses.

* Multi-tasking for highest efficiency
* High-Speed, direct drive motor for faster edging
* Fully automated safety beveling, grooving and edge polishing
* Enhanced memory storage saves time.
* Processes all lens materials including glass, CR-39, polycarbonate, Trivex and high index.
* Extremely easy to learn and use!

The LE-9000SX Express has the smallest footprint on the market and features state-of-the-art RISC micro-processor technology. This Express model features a high-speed drive motor for faster lens processing and greater bevel control.
