Adlens developed a concept of a fluid filled lens technology that could have variable optical settings, enabling users to move between near and far field vision by twisting a dial.
Adlens came to OPD to help characterize the performance and reliability of the system in order to select the right membrane and fluid for the lens filling.
We developed a design and manufacture the production equipment required to produce the design in high volume. This encompassed a filling fixture which filled the lens with optical fluid to the correct level and then sealed it. This all took place within a vacuum chamber in order to de-gas the fluid.
Another fixture was designed that aligned the lens stack so that this could be set in position. Finally a quality control fixture was developed that could scan the lenses and calculate the optical properties.
The fixtures resulted in successful commissioning of production equipment within a clean room facility. This meant that the glasses could be manufactured in volume upon launch and meet the required demands.
