Ophthonix/Eagle Technologies
Ophthonix Inc. (www.izonlens.com), a high-precision eyeglass manufacturer based in Vista, CA, recently embarked on a new technological process to create lenses offering more accurate vision correction. Ophthonix produces iZon lenses, which are the first eyeglass lenses custom-made from an individual’s own iPrint, or unique optical fingerprint. Ophthonix had definitive goals to ramp up its production capacity in planned phases. As a result, the company needed a facility that could be adapted easily to match their growing production volume.
With design, layout and integration help from Eagle Technologies (Bridgman, MI www.eagletechnologies.com) Ophthonix utilized a Bosch Rexroth VarioFlow conveyor system and our aluminum structural framing to implement a lean-based fully automated continuous-flow pull system that linked all facets of their production equipment. Working with Eagle and Ophthonix, Bosch Rexroth leveraged the unique features of VarioFlow, such as energy-efficient variable speed drives and patented UltraCurve technology, the new facility is manufacturing product with productivity and product quality levels that provide a 90% yield, at a lower cost for labor and plant than if previous systems had been used.
