1 Safety Guidelines
Please read the machine operating manual carefully before putting the machine
into operation.
Tips and Caution messages are printed in shaded areas for easy recognition
CAUTION Points to a wrong operating procedure which may lead to
damage of the edger or to injury to the operator.
TIP Points to a special feature or to a convenient operating
procedure.
Please note that the machine is connection to an electrical power outlet with
the same voltage as indicated on the machine identification plate. The edger
must properly grounded according to local electrical safety standards. Never
cut or bend the ground pin of the power cord plug denying the machine
proper grounding. Never use a plug adapter which bypasses the grounding
lead of the power cable

Please never tamper with the electrical wiring and its connections of the
edger or its accessories (coolant tank). Any change will impair the electrical
protection features.

Defective fuses may not be repaired or bridged but MUST be replaced with
fuses of the same value and type.

Before cleaning and maintenance to the edger switch the power OFF.

After replacing the grinding wheels always check that the screws are properly
tightened.

Never switch the edger on during a cleaning or servicing operation.

Be aware that ingesting of some medicines impair vision and reaction
capability which may cause machine operator error.

Always observe the safety and health regulations of the workshop.

For increased protection against electrical shock it is recommended to use an
electrical outlet with a ground protection breaker for the edger and ancillary
devices.


Specific Purpose

This machine is built for the exclusive use as an ophthalmic lens edger.
Other objects such as hand tools etc. may under NO circumstances be
ground or sharpened with the grinding wheels.

Never operate the edger in areas where there is danger that water or other
liquids may enter the electrical compartment of the machine.

The edger must always be placed on a solid surface with a base strong
enough to support its weight. This to prevent damage to the edger and to
prevent the machine from tipping over possibly causing injury.

The air flow slots in the edger are for ventilation so the machine will run at the
correct operating temperature.

The connection cables must be laid in a protected area to prevent operators from
tripping over the cables.
5
Do not attempt to open the edger or to repair it yourself. There is always the
danger of short circuits and electrical shock with danger to personal safety.

Do not operate the edger with the lid of grinding chamber open. Small flying
particles may cause injury to the eyes or skin.

During the following instances the edger must be unplugged and shall not
be used until the necessary repairs have been completed;

Plug o power cable defective
Liquid has entered the electrical compartment of the edger
Despite correct following of instructions the machine does not perform as
designed
Damage to the housing in case the edger was dropped.
During obvious deviations from normal operation.
In addition to the instructions in this operating manual is it advisable to
observe the generally observed accident prevention recommendations.

3 Description
3.1 General Information
1. Application
The purpose of an automatic lens edging machine lies in its task to edge
lenses precisely, according to specific lens lay-out instructions, in such a way
that these lenses can be mounted into an ophthalmic eyeglass frame..
2. Lens types
With the C-91 automatic lens edger are we dealing with a machine capable of
processing glass as well as plastic (CR-39) lenses The grinding of lenses is
done wet The removed lens material is flushed from the grinding chamber
with the coolant flow and settles at the bottom of the coolant tank.
3. Diamond grinding wheels
The automatic lens edger is fitted with highly precise WECO grinding wheels
and selectively with a WECO Speed-Wheel roughing wheel which noticeably
shortens the rough grinding time of plastic lenses
4. Control unit
The operating process is fully automatic and can be interrupted at any time by
pressing the red STOP key. After pressing the STOP key the WECO
grinding wheel assembly immediately separates from the lens.
The WECO-CNC control unit together with the stored lens shape data create
a true lens shape.. Depending on the type of edger, lens edging with a pattern
is also possible.
5. Safety regulations
The automatic edger meets all general safety regulations and is CE and FCC
certified.
6. This operating manual is applicable for:
W 2-D 1090-XXXX
The presence of a FormTracer with a W 2-D edger is a minimum requirement
to make a complete lens edging cycle with tracing, lens lay-out, blocking and
edging possible. The use of a computerised lens centering / blocking device
e.g. a CAD2000 is recommended.
The W 2-D can be operated without additional peripheral devices, however a
conventional lens lay-out / blocking device can be used. The W 2-D automatic
edger can be upgraded to patternless operation, at any time, with existing
WECO-CNC-computerised devices.
For further information contact your WECO product adviser.

edger.
The four leveling feet stay in the edger base.
2. Preparing machine table
CAUTION
Install the edger always on a stable and vibration free stand or bench.
If no WECO-machine table is available, a solid work bench with a plastic
laminate top will do.

Provide for adequate space under the bench for the coolant re-circulation
tank. No benches with drawers and pay attention to cross supports under
the bench top which could prevent easy passage of the coolant hoses.

Transfer the sizes and the locations of the holes for the hoses to the
bench top.

reducer onto the edger.
Secure the coolant supply hose (g) with the gear clamp.
Guide the pump power cord from the top through the hole in the bench.
insert the pump cable in the socket in the lid of the coolant tank.
Lock the safety clip of the plug socket.

TIP
In exceptional cases the edger can also be connected directly to a water
supply line.
With this application a solenoid valve (optional accessory) with a
pressure reducer is recommended (Installed by a plumber).
The solenoid is connected as a coolant re-circulation system.
Consult with local authorities regarding the disposal of lens grinding
waste materials.
To prevent contamination of the water drain pipes a separate drain with a
plaster waste trap is highly recommended.
Because of the very high water usage this type of connection is, with
concern for the environment, NOT recommended.
20
For the sake of environment!
WECO has a device in its product line which meets the requirements of the
modern optical shop operation in connection with an environmentally
responsible disposal of lens grinding waste as well as protecting the lens
surface quality against scratches during lens edging.
The WECO pressure filter coolant re-circulation system supplements the
WECO CMS and as a result makes the system more complete. The WECO
pressure filter coolant re-circulation system is especially developed for use in
the optical lab. and distinguishes itself in particular for the following reasons:
effective filtering with a waste separation rate of 99.9% preventing lens
surface damage by friction of lens material particles.
Compact, fits in any commercially available machine.
System independent, may be connected to any other brand of automatic
edger.
Easy to maintain. The filtering cartridge can be replaced without spilling
lens grinding waste.
The WECO pressure filter coolant re-circulation system can be ordered
under product number 1121-1001.00. For further information contact your
WECO representative.

5. Leveling the edger
CAUTION
Careful leveling the edger in both directions is a primary condition to
achieve perfect lens edging results.
Adjust the four leveling feet in such a way that the edger stands level in
the B and A direction.
B
With the edger switched OFF the grinding wheel assembly may NOT
slide to one side or the other by itself. The machine needs to be leveled
in the B direction so that the wheel assembly stays in any position.

Risk of injury: Never put your hands into the grinding chamber while the
grinding wheels are still turning.
a
If necessary, adjust the position of the coolant nozzles (a) after the
diamond wheels stop turning.
4.3 Connecting CMS-units
Place the CMS-units in-line with the work flow of the optical workshop.
Place all CMS-units in such a way that they can be operated conveniently.
The number of CMS units which can be connected together depends on the
system manager / memory card:
memory card SM 20: 3 units
memory card SM 100: 3 units
memory card SM 200: 5 units
When operating more than 3 CMS-units changes in the factory address
setting will be necessary. In this case ask WECO After-Sales Service for
assistance.
In case a personal computer with the OPTOLAB IV program (or other
software) is used, the number of units that can be connected hardly has a
limit.
The mini-CAD centering / b locking device is not counted as a CMS-unit as it
does not require a separate address.
When a SM memory card is used all CMS-units can be operated by more than
one person simultaneously (multitasking function).
The CMS-units can be set-up in any order you like depending on the available
space and the work flow of the workshop; the following presentation is just an
example.
Connect WECO CMS-units according to the diagram to the "CL" ports.
CAUTION
Do NOT link the first CMS-unit with the last one.
6
a
b
Secure the connectors with screws (a) to the ports.

Communication Check
Switch ON all the units.
Trace a lens shape with the FormTracer.
Call-up the shape at the CAD-e or CAD2000 and at the W 2-D edger.
After a successful installation the shape will be visible on the LCD screen of
the CAD and the W 2-D edger will grind a true shape and exact size lens.
TIP
Information messages will appear in case data communication is interfered
with. see paragraph Error Messages.

5.2 Lens lay-out with edger and MiniCAD (Order-no.: 1119-0800-00)
1. In general
MiniCad and Centering Modul are optional parts and not included in the
standard equipement.
With edgers two different lens lay-out methods can be selected. These two
methods are basically different.
Please read the following paragraph of the instructions carefully and then
edge a pair of test lenses.
ATTENTION
Always use only ONE of the two lens lay-out methods. Decenter either the
lens OR the pattern but never both, otherwise the eyeglasses will not be
correct.
2. Lens lay-out procedure lens decentration (passive)
This procedure is suitable for all Rx work.
The lens is decentered.
The Starblock is placed in the geometrical centre of the lens shape
The edged lens when the procedure lens decentration is used.
32
3. Lens lay-out procedure pattern decentration (active)
This procedure is suitable for all regular Rx work, in particular for heavy plus
lenses and Superlenti lenses.
This procedure is not suitable for half-eyes and for Rx work whereby the
Starblock comes too close to the edge of the lens. The block position is
checked by the lay-out program and a corresponding warning message is
issued.
The pattern is decentered
With single vision lenses the Starblock is placed in the optical centre of the
lens, with multifocal lenses the location of the Starblock is determined by
the values of e and t (nominal optical centre)

first time.
Check the lens size first.
Do NOT change the position of the guide when using the guided bevel.
If required, reduce the lens size in 0,1 mm steps with the number 2 key.
TIP
It is assumed that the size of the traced shape is the same as the size of
the lens. If the size is changed on the edger by 1,0 mm or more, when
using the guided bevel mode, the bevel position changes and will not give
the results as expected. This condition also applies when lenses are re-
edged.

24
27
1. Spiral lowering (Soft touch grinding wheel approach) for large
diameter thin plastic lenses
The approach speed of the grinding wheels toward the lens can be reduced.
This feature reduces the changes of lens breakage and lens slippage.
By pressing the "WECO" (24) and "Spiral edging" (31) keys at the same
time the Spiral Lowering feature is switched on
TIP

Spiral Lowering can also be switched on by pressing the "9" key (Factory
program setting) (Also see: Keyboard programming).


2. V- and Flat bevel edging on one lens
Eyeglass frames for which the lenses must be edged with a V- and a Flat-
bevel (for grooving) are delivered with two shape patterns.
The pattern is centred, the second one de-centred.
The centred shape is edged first with a V-bevel, then the same lens is
edged the de-centred pattern for a Flatbevel.
The FormTracer centres all patterns according the box system.
It is possible to switch this automatic centring OFF and ON by pressing the
key combination CTL" and "OFFSET" at the same time. The job number
display shows a dot in each position.
NOTE
For the second shape a new job number needs to be entered.
ONLY switch this automatic centring OFF in these special cases, otherwise
the optical centring will be wrong.


3. Clamping of strong prismatic lenses

Although the WECO universal adapter is well suited for prismatic lenses, it
may be necessary to be built-up one side of the inside of the lens. For this
purpose WECO block pads are well suited.

71


4. Lens shapes with the STARblock off the shape centre.
There are shapes whereby the STARblock cannot be placed in the
geometric centre of the lens. Blocking this way would place the edge of the
STARblock outside the lens edge.
Measure how far the STARblock needs to be moved over before the lens
can be edged.
Enter the de-centration value (5 mm in and 3 mm up) as the de-centration
before frame tracing. (Also see Decentration with the FormTracer 2-D)
The shape is then de-centred by the entered amount. Calculate this
amount with the required decentration for the prescription. Then block-up
the lens accordingly.
72
6 Maintenance
6.1 Care of the edger
TIP
For the care and maintenance of the automatic edger use only original
WECO grinding wheels, WECO replacement parts and consumables.
WECO automatic edgers have NO grease points.
Please observe the by WECO recommended periodic cleaning intervals, then,
even over time contaminated coolant will not harm the edger.
At the end of the workday all rubber parts in the grinding chamber should be
rinsed clean with water. The lens particles and grinding residues are removed
and cannot cause blistering and damage the painted surfaces.
Extended use of contaminated coolant causes calcium like built-up in the
grinding chamber, which, by delayed maintenance contributes to premature
wear and operating problems.
Once these residues are present they can only be removed mechanically.
This leads in all cases to damage to the seals and to the protective surfaces of
the edger.
CAUTION
By observing the cleaning interval damage to the edger will be prevented.
Please follow our recommendations:
Clean the edger daily.
Clean the edger thoroughly weekly.
A
B Remove grinding residues from the grinding chamber.
Carefully remove the grinding residues from the lower reaches of the gaiter
(see arrow).
Clean all parts that come into contact with coolant.
Remove the clamping parts from the lens drive shafts, clean and grease
lightly.
Clean around the spray guard.
73
A
Clean the ends ( A ) of the lens drive shafts and grease lightly.
74
6.2 Grinding wheel care
TIP
Only sharp grinding surfaces guarantee short edging times, exact lens
shapes and "first time fit" lenses.
Dull grinding wheels may result in axis problems and broken lenses!
An adequate coolant flow with WECO coolant additive improves the
grinding performance and prolongs the life of the grinding wheels.
Clean the grinding wheels ONLY when the edging times increase beyond
an acceptable limit.
Grinding wheels must be cleaned with coolant, the dressing sticks have to
be soaked in water before hand.
After cleaning the grinding wheels the grinding chamber and the cooling
system should be cleaned and the coolant supply replaced.
a c b
WECO dressing sticks
WECO dressing sticks remove lens residue completely so that sharp diamond
grains are brought to the surface, again giving top lens grinding performance.
WECO dressing sticks.
(a) white dressing stick, for finishing wheels
(a) green dressing stick, for finishing wheels in case the white stick is not
sufficient.
(a) red dressing stick (disk), for glass roughing wheels only.
a
b c
Rough grinding wheel for glass
The WECO W 2-D has a 15 mm wide roughing wheel (a). This allows for
easy and safe edging even of heavy minus lenses.
75
c
a
b
Take the pressure pad ( b ) out of the swivel joint ( a ) on the right lens
drive shaft.
Allow the dressing tool ( c ) to absorb water
Clamp the red dressing disk ( c ) for glass roughing wheels into the lens
clamp like a lens.

The dressing disk can be used more than once. Reduce the size of the
edger roughly 10 - 20 mm every time this procedure is done.
a b c d
Rough grinding wheel for plastic (CR-39) - "Speed Wheel"
The rough grinding wheel for plastic ( b ) must only be used for edging
plastic lenses (CR-39 or high-index plastic lenses).
TIP
Glass or polycarbonate lenses cannot be edged on this rough grinding
wheel.
Polycarbonate lenses may be processed with an optional polycarbonate
grinding wheel and coolant system.
No cleaning necessary. The plastic roughing wheel must never be cleaned
with dressing disks or sticks.
76
a b c d
Finishing wheel free floating bevel
The special V-bevel wheel ( c ) is used for free-float bevel edging.
The sharp corners of the groove and bevel sides control the free floating
bevel position. Timely cleaning of the wheel is recommended. It is usually
sufficient to clean only the right side of the bevel groove.
Clamp in the round 40.0 mm idler pattern.
Set the lens size to 80 mm.
(Assuming that a new round dressing disk is used)
Select flat bevel.
Press the program interruption key BREAK, press START key.
Wait for cycle interruption.
Start the coolant flow by pressing the GP key.
a
Moisten the white dressing stick and by short bursts of pressure clean the
RIGHT side of the bevel groove of the bevel wheel ( a ).
TIP
If the dressing stick is still too wide reduce it by running it over the roughing
wheel for glass.
Under NO circumstances use the red dressing stick on a finishing (bevel)
wheel.
If no satisfactory results can be achieved, first check the free right / left
movement of the grinding wheel assembly as well as the levelling of the
edger with the power switched OFF. Only if these two conditions check out
satisfactorily dress (clean) the bevel wheel with the green dressing stick.
End the process.
Check the bevel position by edging a test lens in the free-float bevelling
mode.
If necessary, repeat the procedure.

6.5 Maintenance Intervals
WECO maschines and systems have been developed out of long practical
experience for high productivity and a long life. All this leads to an economic
way of lens processing.
Besides the machines and the surrounding equipment we offer the WECO
maintenance concept. We want you to have machines of lasting value which
are always ready to work no matter when or how long and intensively want to
work with them.
We therefore recommend to follow the complete maintenance concept for
WECO systems.
WECO maintenance concept:
Step I: Daily
Clean the edger inside with water and a very soft brush in places like the
leathering and a hard brush for grinding residues in the grinding chamber. The
outside should only be cleaned with a moist dustfree cloth wihout aggressive
detergents. The surface may be cleaned with neutral detergents for plastic. If
you use detergents in the grinding chamber make sure they are safe with
high-grade finished surfaces as well as blockpads.
If necessary change filter of high-pressure filter systems.
In case of pneumatic elements emty water collector and check pneumatic oil-
level.
Step II: Weekly
As in step 1 but additionally
Control water tightness.
Treat all rubber preservatives
Check diamond wheel condition with sample lenses (size, bevel); if
necessary correct size values according to manual or change diamond
wheels (new or levelled WECO wheels)
Change water for cooling systems with water tank.
Check FormTracer with frame gauge (size, axis)
Check centering device (blocking point, axis)
Step III: Monthly
As in step 2, but additionally change elements of the block -up system.
