no additional buffing time required. The LE-9000SX PLB
provides easy and accurate bevel mirror polishing.
High Quality: The newly developed 3D tracing & lens measurement feature provides
accurate frame and lens measurements, ultimately offering a
perfect finish. Thirty-two thousands data points per processing round
ensures a precise fit.
Frame Memory: One hundred framed shapes can be stored in memory, and with the
optional bar-code reader, up to 500 shapes can be stored. This
improves efficiency, saves time and storage space.
Flexible & Versatile: The LE-9000SX can process any type of lens materials including glass, plastic, polycarbonate, acrylic, and high index plastic lenses in order to meet your customers needs.

About the ICE-9000 Intelligent Blocker

The ICE-9000 is a revolutionary blocker and tracer combination that reads single vision and bifocal lenses, as well as printed and pre-identified laser marks on progressive lenses, increasing workflow and saving time. Compared to conventional blocking which requires operator involvement, the ICE-9000 blocking arm moves in both the X and Y direction automatically. The block-head also rotates (theta rotation) for blocking lenses on 180 degrees axis. The system’s exceptionally accurate tracer digitizes an unprecedented 32,000 points of reference per eye.

Featuring an integrated ALM (Auto Lens Meter), the ICE-9000 enables lens blocking without having to mark and center lenses, simplifying the process and increasing accuracy. Therefore, the operator need only insert the lens and the ICE-9000 takes over, automatically blocking any lens with great precision. The high-resolution, color display touch screen can be used to enter job codes easily, reducing human error and resulting in precise blocking.

The ICE-9000 is a highly intuitive instrument which auto-aligns bifocals and progressives. In addition to being VCA compliant, the ICE-9000 can interface with other software and all edger’s seamlessly. This is an exciting product, offering eyewear professionals the best in tracing and blocking equipment. The ergonomic, compact size is the perfect complement to the LE-9000EX Express Edger, meeting the limited space needs of many labs.

About the ICE-Mini Blocker

Blocking is easy and quick. For accurate and easy blocking for the operator, the 3-pin support lens is flexible and holds the lens from the top. The user-friendly color LCD touch panel is 8.4-inch and is easy to operate and offers clear display. Networking capability is versatile and the direct connection to the 2 lens edger is easy for the ICE mini. Blocking is as easy as 1-2-3 by the NEW ICE-Mini from NIDEK.

Step 1: On the table simply place the marked lens.
Step 2: Input all data on the LCD touch panel such as the type of lens, frame, grinding mode and the data of the lens layout that includes PD, FPD, size and height of optical center is the data to be input.
Step 3: Block with blocking arm.

Color-coded Lens Identification: To aid the lens edging process, the display of the Lex1000 utilizes a color-coding system adapted from navigational light colors, to identify right and left lenses: green represents the right lens and red represents the left lens. Red and green cups (blocks) are included. You can avoid processing the wrong lens by following the color-prompted indicator on the display.
