ALE-5100 Series

Speedy & High Quality

Topcon is introducing its new ALE-5100

High Speed Model as the latest
addition to ALE-5100 series
with its perfect reputation
for processing high quality
lenses.
This model was reborn as a
speedy and ecological lens
edger of the new era with
significantly faster processing
speed and 30% reduction in
machining time. Due to the
decreased processing time it
contributes to the reduction of
the energy consumption, which
makes it more friendly to the
environment. In addition to the
conventional capability of accurate
processing of high quality reliable
lenses, it also ensures smoother workflow
and meets the need of all shops and
individual customers.

Topcon ALE-5100 Series offers rich line-up of advanced lens edgers that meet the needs of all optometry professionals
from individual customers to big shops.

ALE-5100SG ALE-5100C
Superior Versatilty

The ALE-5100 Series processes all materials with individual settings for plastic, polycarbonate, high-index, Trivex, acrylic,
glass, photochromic glass and thinner hyperhigh index lenses. To minimize obsolescence, the WINDOWS®-format operating
system allows us to incorporate processing of future lens materials by simple ROM upgrades. The on-board software
memorizes sizing and bevel position parameters for individual materials. The one-block solution accommodates all frame
eye sizes, base curves and even the most hydrophobic lens coatings. The ALE-5100 has addressed all the everyday challenges
in the finishing lab. It allows for flawless and efficient operation of your staff and provides the ultimate finished product.

The large 10.4" color

screen display

The large 10.4" color screen provides a clear

and easily readable display. By using the intuitive
Windows®-format style menu, the operator can
quickly enter all the required data. The color
screen displays both the right and left shapes in
their actual-size, which allows for quick
verification of the lens size.

Convenient Job Memory

POP-UP Display
As a standard feature, the ALE-5100 Series can store
up to 2000 jobs through the Function Keys.
An optional bar-code reader is also available.

Rimless Shape Designer

(Optional Software)
The optional rimless frame designer software allows
the operator to alter the lens final shape to customize
3-piece rimless frames. This operating software can
increase or decrease the nasal, temporal, superior and
inferior sides; ideal for accommodating progressive
lenses to patients' decentrations.
 Unequaled Ease-of-operation

Stages of Operation

Different screen colors are used on the display to indicate the various atages of operation.
The WINDOWS®-format multi-task job function allows for multiple job processing.

Work order is entered. Displayed during edging process.

FINISHED (Red Screen) BEVEL SIMULATION (Dark Green Screen)

Indicates that the edging process is completed. In the Manual Mode, the operator can adjust the
bevel position at will. The ALE-5100SG provides
adjustment of groove position as well as control
of safety bevel placement.

 Ultimate Quality

Precise Edging Control

The technologically advanced control system enables precise final

fitting. The ALE-5100 Series automatically determines the ultimate
bevel position no matter what lens power is being edged. The 3-D
tracing is incorporated in the edger's calculation for bevel position
at the thinnest and thickest edge portion of the lens and it is displayed
on the color screen for precise confirmation of the bevel position.

Specialty Lenses

The ALE-5100 Series automatically calculates the ideal bevel

placement for specialty lenses such as executives, lenticular
and even higher-base curved lenses.

Grooving/Safety Beveling/
Safety Bevel with Polish
The ALE-5100SG has a unique multi-functional arm that provides
accurate and precise grooving and safety beveling. The full range
of controls provides selectable width and groove positioning and
adjustable safety bevel settings. Even an inexperienced operator
can achieve optimum results with the ALE-5100SG.

Applicable for higher base-curve frames

All the ALE-5100 series edgers have an edging mode that can be
used for higher base-curve frames.
FR-5000 Frame Reader

Advanced frame reader featuring

high base-curve frame tracing

The ultimate combination of the FR-5000 with swing function and

the ALE-5100HC with mini wheel makes it possible and easier to
complete higher base-curve frame tracing and edging. The FR-5000
stylus varies tracing speed depending on type and/or shape of
frames that provides more precise trace data.

Swing Function
Revolutionary advanced swing function is newly applied
on the FR-5000 for measuring higher base-curve frames.
Conventionally, to trace a high base-curve frame, it was
necessary to hold the frame by hand. Now the FR-5000
enables fully hands free tracing by utilizing automated
swing function that moves quickly to accurately trace
any type of modern design frames.
 Optional Accessory

FR-50 Frame Reader

Basic frame reader

The FR-50 is a basic 3D tracing system which can read up to 1,000
points of reference per lens rim, providing high precision and accuracy.
Its stand alone configuration makes the FR-series ideal for use as an
integral part of a remote tracing system. Pattern holding device allows
for virtually automatic measurement of pattern and rimless lenses.

DS-5000 Integrated Blocker

The DS-5000 accepts the inputted PD and height settings

from the ALE-5100 and instantly displays the correct lens
blocking position. The block is placed on the geometrical
center of the lens for good position and perfect edging.
