Overview
Tool management is central to specialty contact lens, IOL, and ICL production efficiency. Which tool is cutting which surface, on which material, and how many passes before it needs to be replaced — these decisions directly affect lens quality, diamond tool life, and production continuity. DAC’s Multi-Tool Management system brings intelligent, software-driven control to every aspect of tool allocation and tool life management on your DAC machine.
When combined with the FT-3 Edge Fast Tool and DAC’s compact tool holders, Multi-Tool Management dramatically increases the number of active tool positions available on the machine — enabling extended machining operations between tool changes and seamless switching between different tool geometries across a variety of lens materials and product-specific applications. The result is fewer production interruptions, better diamond utilization, and more flexibility to run diverse product mixes efficiently.
