This document provides instructions for cleaning and sterilization of the Weco Edger, specifically models E.32, E.32 groove, E.12, and E.12 groove, manufactured by Luneau Technology. The primary function of this device, as implied by its name "Edger," is likely to edge or shape lenses, a common task in optical laboratories or retail environments. The document focuses exclusively on maintenance procedures, specifically cleaning and sterilization, rather than operational instructions. For operational details, users are directed to consult the USER MANUAL for each specific model.
Function Description (Inferred from context):
The Weco Edger is an optical laboratory instrument designed for processing lenses. Its models, E.32, E.32 groove, E.12, and E.12 groove, suggest variations in capabilities, possibly related to lens types, edging styles (e.g., grooving for rimless frames), or processing speeds. The presence of components like a clamping unit, layout plate, lens holder, lens blocker arm, tracer drawer, edging chamber, and touchscreen indicates a sophisticated device capable of precise lens manipulation and shaping. The mention of "edging chamber" strongly suggests that the core function involves grinding or cutting lens material to a desired shape and size.
