truly makes Neo unique is its rugged, sturdy body and design, made to withstand the harsh Indian environment. The main advantage of this “one-piece chassis” design is a substantial reduction in machine vibration and increased machine stability. This results in longer service life and consistent quality output. Another differentiating factor Neo enjoys over its competitors are its diamond wheels. Having pioneered in manufacturing and export of optical grinding wheels since more than 3 decades and taking advantage of this knowledge, Optilab was able to incorporate high precision diamond wheels in Neo. Due to the superior stability of the machine and the highest quality of diamond wheels, Neo is able to give a lens finish which is at par with any high end patternless edger. The machine’s core building block, its software (logic), is Japanese. But what sets it apart are the tweaks that were done to its original logic to better suit an Indian user by making the interface simple and user friendly. From the very beginning the company has focused on providing the best quality possible at an affordable price. To achieve the same Neo is constituted with high quality parts at critical areas (brass clampers, ultra-precise stepper motor and drivers, lead screw and nut made up of premium quality stainless steel, etc.). Also being a 100% Indian product, the after sale service and maintenance is very economical as compared to similar imported machines. FUTURE OFFERINGS FROM OPTILAB Looking at the current optical scenario in India, there is a steady shift from manual practice to an automated/software based one. Be it eye testing, lens dispensing, frame selection, etc. Same is the case in lens grinding. The consumer is much more informed and well aware of the choices available in the market. The quality of work expected from an optician is increasing day by day. Hence it is natural that hand edgers are bound to be replaced by auto edgers. These are some exciting times for the auto edger market in India and Neo being the sole Indian candidate in the mix has a definite edge over others. Having had a very positive response from the industry, Optilab intends to create a complete range of indigenous optical and optometry equipment along with sophisticated workshop instruments. We are confident that in the coming years Optilab will be able to offer “made in India” products that can match the quality offered by any international brands.
