SHC nano - Hardcoating - SCHNEIDER Optical Machines

The SHC nano is a four station spin hardcoating system for ophthalmic lenses. The machine is suitable for 100 % solid hard coatings and can be configured for solvent based systems as well. The 4 stations of the SHC nano offer a highly flexible machine configuration according to individual customer needs. Full access to coating parameters allows process adjustments up to individual lens optimization. Long lasting and low maintenance requiring components guarantee a low cost of ownership and high stability of the coatings. A continuous temperature control and stabilization of the varnish ensure repeatable high quality results for spin coating applications. As part of the SCHNEIDER machine portfolio, the SHC nano can be connected to the LMS in order to optimize the process for different lens geometries. The connection to the SOM Control Center guarantees a continuous process monitoring.

SCHNEIDER is one of the world’s leading manufacturers for the development and production of machines in the fields of ophthalmics, precision optics and ultra-precision optics. The company, which was founded in 1986 by Gunter Schneider, currently has more than 480 employees and is located in the US, Brazil, Thailand and China. Pioneering the freeform idea in the ophthalmic business, SCHNEIDER had the vision to manufacture individual lenses on freely definable mathematical descriptions. The slogan “Fascination for Innovation” reflects the companys’ consistent focus on the development of innovative technological solutions. The company keeps setting new standards for customers with groundbreaking innovations and fundamental modernizations of products and processes.
