2 Modular Windows TM based software system The Satisloh RX-Lab-Software Modules offer the perfect solution for managing daily work in smalland mid-size optical laboratories. They can be used as stand alone software or easily integrated into an existing lab management system. Starting with the (device interface), the modular design allows growth by adding modules such as RXpert (traditional lens calculation), -Client (freeform design order entry), third party software, and any future technologies. Calculation Data Storage Data Exchange RXpert spheric/toric lenses -Client spheric/toric lenses + freeform lenses LDCS Toro-X- Generating/Blocking Engraving Polishing Edging 1. The interface module manages all the communication to the surfacing equipment. Additional RX software modules, third party software or open-interface devices are easily connected.

3 2. Traditional lens manufacturing For spheric/toric backside lens production the lens calculation software RXpert calculates lens processing data for single vision, bifocal, trifocal, progressive, lenticular + and executive orders. The Toro-X- can manage the polishing process information needed for hard tool polishing and always sends the appropriate macro information to the Toro- X-2SL polisher. For Satisloh soft tool polishers the takes care of sending the optimal process parameter to the connected equipment. The runs Satisloh DLP polishers with almost any job. To complete the order, the Satisloh manages the connection to all finishing equipment. Calculation RXpert (lens calculation module for spheric/toric back curves) Calculates all processing data for backside spheric/ toric RX lenses based on selected lens blank data from integrated database Does automatic or manual lens calculations by operator input depending on order type Interface to Selects bar code job ticket layouts from various options Calculates optimum edge thickness and displays results graphically in 2D or 3D Includes comprehensive, easy-to-use data base for semi-finished blank data with most progressive blanks; offers full network capabilities Calculates set-ups for soft or hard tool polishing Checks tool availability for calculated data (hard tool polishing only) Design job tickets with RX-Ticket (optional) available for RXpert 2.0 or higher Customizable screen layout: display one or two lenses per order Easily detect shapes of demo lenses, shape disks or sketches with RX-Shape (optional). Shape data can be used to calculate center thickness optimized lenses by RXpert Open lens database, new products can be added or existing products can be edited by operator Setup security, program settings and database can be protected from unwanted modifications RXpert 3rd party application Interfaces Toro-X- (polishing process data selection) Software module to select polishing process data for conventional polishing on Toro-X-2SL polishers with hard polishing tools. VC DCS (VCA) RS232 interface to LMS systems Connection to Required software module to select polishing process data for operating none Windows based, Satisloh soft tool polishing equipment. VC DCS (VCA) RS232 or TCP/IP to LMS systems Connection to TCP/IP connection to polishers Required software module to select polishing process data for operating Satisloh DLP polishers. The enables polishing of almost any kind of back side geometry with the DLP soft tool process.

The is dedicated to run finishing tracers blockers, and edgers. It s compatible with all Satisloh finishing equipment as well as third party products. The module can run separately as a stand alone setup or can be connected to the Satisloh or any other LMS. Order entry for lens edging tasks Manages order entry for finishing jobs Includes a frame database Job ticket printout feature Supports most common lens style features Process optimized setup Stand alone or LMS connection Optional trace client for installation at optician Frame tracer Finishing blocker Edger

4 3. Digital (free-form) lens manufacturing For digital backside lens production the -Client module can be used as an order entry work station for digital lens calculation. The most common digital lens calculation engines (LDS) can be connected to -Client/ -. The connection to the several LDS software is done by - which just manages these connections and tells -Client what is possible to do with each connected digital software. Properly marking free-form lenses is important, it helps locate the lens reference points later. The marking can be done either by a laser (Satisloh Lens-Engraver-LC) or mechanically by an optional engraving feature in the VFT generator. Satisloh s software helps create job files for the Lens-Engraver-LC; the VFT Engraving Editor creates layouts for the mechanical engraving feature and tells the VFT generator which layout to engrave. The manages the polishing process information for Satisloh soft tool polishers. All non-microsoft Windows based polishers have to be connected to RX- (LMS) via the, others can be connected directly. With the even Satisloh DLP polishers can run almost any job. To complete orders, the Satisloh takes care of the connection to all finishing equipment.
