COBURN TECHNOLOGIES

Velocity Coater

Coburn Technologies introduces its next generation in automated lens coating technology, the Velocity 2D. Suitable for larger retail locations and a pioneer in “dual-coating” technology, the Velocity 2D now offers labs the ability to coat lenses with two different coating solutions in one machine. When paired with Coburn’s Duality lens detaper and cleaner, labs get smart, scalable automation for lens processing, as the lenses are detaped, cleaned, and coated in one process. coburntechnologies.com
