Pro-E 600 Edger Introduced for High Volume ECPs

Essilor introduces the Pro-ETM 600 edger: designed for productivity with a holistic approach to finishing lenses, combining traditional wet edging with the versatility, precision, and speed of milling.

Innovation combined with Essilor Instruments’ experience and the exacting needs of the most demanding labs has resulted in an edger that is 40 to 50% faster than traditional table-tops; that can process the most complex of shapes and mountings, and enable the user to customize all aspects of lens finishing, including engraving and creative shapes.

The Pro E 600 is a suitable edging system for higher volume ECP or integrated retailer, or for a lab seeking a top-end precision and specialty instrument at an affordable cost.
