• FPD : Distance between the frame centers (boxing centers)

• In case of Two Eye Tracing, the value of FPD will be automatically transmitted
and displayed.

• In case of pattern tracing, be sure to change the standard value to the actual
Bridge Size.

• In case of One Eye tracing, it will be helpful to use Bridge Size Input function. (It
is much easier to measure the Bridge Size than FPD)

• Measure the Bridge Size as (B) instead of (A). Remember that the Bridge Size
is not from frame to frame, but from lens to lens,

• In the base curve mode, base curves of (+) lenses and (-) lenses exist the
opposite side of each of them. In this mode, the bevel or grooving line always
passes the mid of the thinnest area which is located at the midst zone of (-)
lenses and is located at the edged zone of (+) lens. And much bigger position
value makes the curve closer to the base curve.

• Frame Material, Lens Material and Lens Thickness may affect the quality of

Lens Fitting. If needed, execute the Size Adjustment ( ) in advance.

Frequently used Adjustment Value can be stored at “Frame Fitting” in the menu.

• Be sure to use the new Tape or Sticker and erase the wet from the Lens
surface.

• Drilling Wrap Mode : Edging process stopped temporarily before drilling step. At
that time user can remove the wrap on the lens manually. This function is useful
to drilling water-repellent coating lens.(XD)

• Select “High Quality” drilling mode to improve drilling quality.(XD)

 Excelon XD/XQ Operator’s Manual 37

! CAUTION
• Be sure to carry out the Edging Process in Safety Mode ( ) in case the lens

may be broken or the axis may be tilted during the edging process.

• Select “Safety Mode” or adjust clamp pressure in case the lens may be broken.

• Grooving and Polishing is not available for the Glass Lens. Be sure the material
of lens is matched with the job options selected in the display before starting the
Edging Mode.

• Moisture on the surface of the lens may cause axis problems, always use a new
LEAP-III™ tape.

• The safety beveling for glass lenses should be performed both front and rear
side. Otherwise, it will cause the damage to the human skin.

• To prevent the distortion of axis, you should put stickers for blocking of
hydrophobic lenses. Stickers are provided by lens manufacturers. Otherwise,
we do not guarantee the quality of the stickers.

• Input each size variation value to all the frame material. (Input horizontal value
and vertical value separately)

• Remember that these adjusted values are applied in diameter. (unit : mm)

• Using the “Master Size”, the operator can set up the adjustment value for all

• Adjustment values are closely related to the processing quality, so keep the fact
ory default values.

• Before changing these values, ask advice of the service technician of Huvitz or
the technician authorized by Huvitz.

6.3.1 Size Adjustment

Size Adjustment values are closely related to the size of the edged lens. These
values are used to compensate lens size when the tolerance of the edged lens size
was too big because of worn out of the edging wheel.

• Test Pattern
- Use the internal Square(40mm x 40mm) and Circle(Ø 50).

• Test Cases
- Use all kinds of materials such as Plastic, PC, HI-Index, Glass, Trivex® .
- Execute the beveled process and the rimless process for all above kinds of
material.
- Check the adjustment amount for roughing and polishing respectively.

• Adjustment
- Change the value within the tolerance ± 0.1mm.
- Remember that the adjusted values are applied in radius.

7.7 Maintenance Tips

▪ Wheel & Drill Bit Replacement

It is recommended to keep the replacement cycle of Wheel in order to maintain
the Edging Performance.
• Wheel Replacement Cycle : 7,000 ~ 8,000 pieces of Lens edged
• Drill Bit Replacement Cycle (XD) : 500 holes of Plastic lens (Ø 2).

Be sure to replace the Finishing Wheel and Polishing Wheel at the same

time.

▪ Regular Maintenance
It is recommended to keep the regular maintenance cycle in order to maintain the
Edging Performance. Be sure to carry out the regular maintenance by the
service technician of Huvitz or the technician authorized by Huvitz.
• Regular Maintenance Cycle : 1,500 ~ 2,000 pieces of Lens edged

▪ Fuse Replacement
Be sure to check the Fuse Specification for the replacement job.
• Edger : 250V 10A
