Lambda-X Ophthalmics Launches NIMO Matrix, an Innovative 4-in-1 Metrology System for Boosting IOL Production
Nivelles, Belgium – September 11, 2024 – Lambda-X Ophthalmics, a global leader in advanced optical metrology systems, proudly announces the launch of the NIMO Matrix, now with an innovative 4-in-1 metrology system set to revolutionize quality control of intraocular lens (IOL).
The new NIMO Matrix integrates cutting-edge optical power, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), dimension, and thickness measurements into a single, fully automated system, delivering unprecedented precision, speed, and efficiency for IOL QC labs.
With the growing global demand for intraocular lenses, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to enhance production efficiency while upholding strict quality standards. The NIMO Matrix addresses these challenges by offering a comprehensive metrology solution capable of testing up to 300 lenses per hour. This solution drastically increases production speed without compromising on quality. Its automated, operator-independent design simplifies the process, making it accessible to non-experts and ensuring consistent, reliable results. Additionally, the NIMO Matrix significantly reduces inspection costs by optimizing efficiency throughout the production process.
The system builds on the renowned and proven NIMO TR0815 metrology technology combined with the latest IOL-MENTOR software. It can measure all types of refractive lens designs, including Monogonal, Multifocal, Enhanced, and EDOF lenses. The NIMO Matrix also introduces optional thickness and dimension measurement capabilities, fully customizable to meet manufacturers’ specific needs.
This breakthrough system not only boosts productivity but also enhances production flow by reducing operator dependency, improving quality control, and ensuring traceability across the line. These advancements lead to a drastic reduction in inspection costs for volume production.
“Our mission has always been to push the boundaries of what is possible in ophthalmic metrology,” said Luc Joannes, CTO of Lambda-X Ophthalmics. “With the NIMO Matrix, we are offering a unique 4-in-1 measurement solution that reduces inspection costs while increasing overall quality through exhaustive quality controls. IOL Manufacturers can now take advantage of combining precision, speed, and comprehensive analysis into one seamless system that optimizes both production and quality control.”
Key benefits of the NIMO Matrix include:
- High Throughput: Measures up to 300 IOLs per hour, significantly enhancing productivity.
- Comprehensive 4-in-1 Measurement: Combines unique wavefront power and MTF analysis with optional dimension and thickness measurements in a single system.
- Operator-Independent: Automated, user-friendly system designed for non-experts, minimizing human error and optimizing gage R&r.
- Reduced Inspection Costs: Streamlines the quality control process, lowering inspection costs.
