Native automation designed and built by DAC — for DAC machines
High-volume specialty specialty contact lens, IOL, and ICL production demands more than precision machining. It demands consistency across every part, every hour, every shift — without proportional increases in labor cost. DAC International's dedicated automation solutions are engineered specifically for the DAC machine platform, delivering the tight integration, process reliability, and part-handling precision that lens manufacturing requires. Unlike third-party automation retrofits, DAC automation is designed by the same engineering team that builds the lathe — with native software integration, matched handling mechanics, and single-source support from the same team that supports your machine.
Universal 1000 Autoloader
The Universal 1000 Autoloader automates specialty specialty contact lens, IOL, and ICL part loading and unloading on DAC ALM lathes and MLC Mill/Lathe Combos — enabling up to 1,000 parts of continuous unattended production per run, consistent part-to-part quality, and true lights-out operation capability. Native network integration, bar code and RFI compatibility, and 20 supplied trays make it the complete automation solution for high-volume lens production.
