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:
- 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.
- 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.
