2. Here is our philosophy: innovating the working
process in the optical field, providing new solutions
that allow the labs, lenses and frames manufacturers
to increase their flexibility and production rate, by
simplifying the process and reducing production
costs.
3. • Founded in 1985
• In the beginning, Mei designed and provided customized
machineries for factory automation and for electronically
controlled multi axe machining.
• In the ’90s the main Italian eyewear manufacturers asked
the first industrial edger for solar lenses and masks
• In 2002 the MonospheraRX-DD was born: the first milling
technology industrial edger for ophthalmic lenses
• Now the company is totally devoted to the Optical
Industries

13. Increasing Production: thanks to the milling technology Mei
edgers have the best cycle time.
Reducing cost: the production rate and the accuracy (no need to
rework the lens manually, no rotation or damages in coated lens) give
the best cost x lens
Increasing Flexibility: thanks to the milling technology all Mei
edgers have the flexibility to edge any standard job as well as special
and sport jobs
14. Long term investment: updating the software you catch up with
the optical fashion trend, reliability due to the industrial design.
Easy to use: OMA standard protocol allows connection with the
most common software and devices.
15. Continuative investment in R&D allows to
propose new solutions to our
clients, simplifying the process and reducing
production costs (see TBA Unit)
