    Revel™ Overview

    Supplement your workforce with the Revel robotic beveler and free technicians from performing the tedious task of hand beveling optics. With Revel, you can take on high volume production jobs with confidence. Fully automated beveling of both sides of the optic with high process configurability, 50-micron repeatability, and in-machine quality control systems enable productivity at a high level, even after hours. Whether your application involves glass, ceramic, silicon, crystal, or composite optics, the Revel enables you to achieve greater process control and helps your company become more productive and profitable.

    The Revel’s features and benefits help optical manufacturers achieve optimal beveling results:

    Flexible robotic motion: FANUC CRX-10iA/L collaborative robot with 6 axis articulating arm

    Multiple beveling methods: Two end effectors included for plunge and traditional beveling, which use vacuum to hold the parts (optional spindle end effector – this adds a spindle to the end of the robot arm, opening the possibility of using a cone or flat tool for round parts)

    Complete beveling from pick to place: Flipping station where the robot can place the part to be flipped, which allows for edges of both sides to be beveled in one uninterrupted cycle

    Safe operation: Safety guard system which consists of an enclosure with interlocked door(s) that allow operator/setup access to the inside of the guarded area. Safety guard system also prevents operator harm or tampering.

    Accuracy and rigidity: Motorized spindle that can be equipped with a tool using a hydraulic expansion chuck. Coolant system with 11 gallon tank provides coolant to the beveling area. Coolant filtering with bag filter for reuse of coolant.

    Fast job setups: Custom software for easy operator setup of a variety of beveling applications

    Machine vision integration (optional): Enables both flexible part loading and inline bevel inspection for reduced sensitivity to strengthen process control and increase operational flexibility

    Revel-utionize your beveling process with the Revel™ robotic beveling machine and increase optics production and your bottom line.
