    What causes pits on the outer edge of the lens and/or in clumps when using Ultra Optics Industrial Equipment, and how to fix it?
    • Z
      Zachary YoungAug 17, 2025
      Pitting on the outer edge of the lens might be caused by air jet pressure, a dirty wash tip, or a poorly primed wash pump. Try cleaning the tip and running the wash pump prime for 30 seconds to purge any air bubbles. If the issue continues, adjust the airflow from the air jet nozzle, ensuring the lens is dry after the wash and dry cycles.

    What to do if there are 1 – 2 single streaks across the lens of Ultra Optics Industrial Equipment?
    • C
      Curtis Haynes MDAug 20, 2025
      Streaks across the lens could be due to air in the coating filter. To resolve this, while the pump is running, crack the bleed valve ¼ turn on the Meissner filter to allow the air to escape.

    What causes tiny pits that appear to have indented the lens when using Ultra Optics Rx Industrial Equipment, and how can I fix it?
    • C
      Charles LopezAug 26, 2025
      These indentations may be caused by the wash tip always returning to the same position on the lens while the spindle isn't spinning. Check to ensure the spindle is spinning at the correct speeds or even spinning at all.
