Table of Content

The MCT-3000 by Rotlex is a modern measurement system designed for precise and accurate measurements of contact lenses, intraocular lenses (IOLs), and various transparent or semi-transparent materials like glass and fluids. It uses Low Coherence Interferometry (LCI) to provide high-resolution measurements and real-time data collection for quality control in both laboratories and production lines.

System Configurations:

  1. Manual Mode (Standalone System) – Ideal for laboratories and independent workstations where each lens or optical component requires individual measurement. This mode provides complete control over every step of the measurement process, including probe calibration and selection.
  2. Automated Production Integration – Perfect for production lines, this configuration allows seamless integration into automated manufacturing processes. It features modular trays for handling different quantities of measured objects without human contact. The system automatically measures each component and sends the data directly to Laboratory Management Systems (LMS) in SQL or Excel formats, fully compliant with CFR21 for medical data management.

Why Choose the MCT-3000 for Production Lines?

Reduced Costs and Improved Production Efficiency:

  • High-Speed Measurements: The MCT-3000 completes each measurement in less than a second, reducing production time and improving manufacturing efficiency.
  • Accurate Component Measurement: Eliminates the risk of human error, ensuring precise, consistent measurements every time.
  • Minimized Waste: Early defect detection reduces the need for costly rework and minimizes material loss, improving overall production process efficiency.

Improved Product Quality:

  • Precise Measurements: With an accuracy of ±1.0 μm, the MCT-3000 ensures high-quality lenses with precise optical properties.
  • Consistent Results: The system provides stable, long-term measurements, reducing the likelihood of defects and improving overall lens fit.
  • Early Defect Detection: Identifies thickness variations, curvature irregularities, and other potential issues early in the production process.

Advanced Data Management:

  • Automated Data Collection: All measurement data is stored in secure, CFR21-compliant databases, supporting SQL and Excel formats for efficient data management.
  • Real-Time Data Analysis: Enables quick decision-making and continuous quality control, essential for efficient production processes.
  • Seamless LMS Integration: Direct connection to Laboratory Management Systems (LMS) for streamlined quality tracking and process optimization.

Advanced Measurement Capabilities:

  1. Sag Height Measurement: Measures the vertical distance from the center of the lens to a flat reference plane, critical for accurate lens fitting.
  2. Optical Metrology: Comprehensive lens analysis with high-precision measurements.
  3. Contact Lens Measurement: Real-time measurement of the central thickness, important for comfort and optical performance.
  4. Optical Surface Profiling: Accurate lens measurement for precise positioning on the eye.
  5. Lens Thickness Measurement: Critical for understanding lens structure and optical performance.
  6. Automated Diameter Detection: Non-contact metrology for accurate component measurement.
  7. ISO-Compliant Measurement: Ensures accurate and repeatable results, meeting international standards.
  8. Non-Contact Metrology: Precise, no-contact measurement for sensitive materials.
  9. Advanced Lens Testing: Future-proof metrology for advanced manufacturing processes.
  10. High-Speed Optical Inspection: Real-time lens analysis with reduced measurement time.
  11. Comprehensive Lens Analysis: Supports full lens characterization for advanced designs.
  12. Intuitive User Interface: Simplifies setup and measurement procedures for operators.
  13. Comprehensive Data Integration: Efficiently handles complex data for production optimization.

Technological Advantages:

  • Maximum Accuracy: ±1.0 μm for all measurements, including layer thickness, sagittal height, and air gaps.
  • High Speed: Each measurement is completed in less than a second for real-time quality control.
  • Advanced Integration: Supports up to 4 test stations with custom API protocols.
  • High Repeatability: Long-term measurement stability for advanced production lines.
  • Material Versatility: Suitable for soft lenses, hard lenses, IOLs, and molded components.
  • R&D Support: Multi-probe setups for research and development.
  • IoT and AI Compatibility: Smart integration for real-time data analysis and predictive maintenance.
  • Low Maintenance Design: Built for reliable, long-term performance.
  • Precision Without Compromise: Ensures accurate results without sacrificing speed or reliability.
