ASTA Handling System
Fully Automated Taping System
This is a fully automated system to apply protective tape to semi-finished lenses. Job trays are conveyed automatically via a conveyor belt. Robotics pick-up the lenses and place them in the ASTA to be taped and puts them back in the tray when it is finished. Existing ASTA units can be modified to work in this system.
Features & Benefits
Offers process consistency due to fully automated handling.
Can tape two lenses at a time at up to 400 lenses per hour, making it faster than other systems on the market.
Simple machine design makes it easy to set-up and maintain.
Modular design keeps the taper and the automated system working separately so the taper can be operated manually if necessary.
Works with both liner and linerless tapes.
Available with standard, hot-knife and large tape roll taping machine options.
