Germantown, WI-Essilor Instruments announced the newest addition to its U.S. line of high-efficiency finishing products. Mr. Orange is a tracing, blocking, and edging system that features such integrated functions as management of high curves up to base 9 and optical tracing for fast rimless and groove jobs.

“Because eyewear fashions are increasingly more sophisticated, many in-office edging systems are now at their performance limit. They simply can’t produce both the technically accurate and aesthetically pleasing lenses the market demands,” said Robin Rhodes, director of sales, Essilor Instruments USA. “That’s why we’re so pleased to offer Mr. Orange-the in-office edging system with today’s necessary tech capabilities for high wraps, drilling, and rimless jobs-at a relatively modest price point.”

According to Essilor Instruments, the system is intuitive to navigate. It has a touch-screen interface, visual alerts, and fit-4-frame technology that lets users determine the best lens level profile for each frame/lens combination depending on lens thickness at four strategic points. An open communication system integrates an office network and manages shape and drill point databases.

Complimenting the high-tech features are details to ensure operator comfort, including a centering space designed for all lens geometries, a hand rest and front-loading arm for ambidextrous use, and a soft touch finish on the hand rest.
