Introduction
1.11 Overview The Optimal CHC 60 has been designed to prepare ophthalmic lenses for hard coating and thin film vacuum deposition. The process guarantees a high degree of cleaning and can be used on other inter-stage cleaning operations. The system stands on castors. It is easy to move and is as easy to install as a domestic washing machine. The design is innovative and the process it delivers is comprehensive. The compact construction of the machine means that it can be positioned in small production areas, enabling it to be installed in manufacturing cells where previously a centralised cleaning facility would have been used. This can improve quality and efficiency. In designing the Optimal CHC 60 fully automated system, we have brought together all of the features required to produce an exceptionally clean surface, but at a price which opens up new opportunities for decentralised cleaning and all of the benefits this brings.

1.13 Cleaning Description
The system comprises seven process stages mounted in a box section steel framework. The cleaning tanks and the top surround are manufactured in stainless steel. The framework is clad in steel panels and doors which are finished in semi-gloss pale grey paint. The Optimal CHC 60 is automated by means of a unique transfer mechanism (Patent pending) mounted to the rear of the system. This indexes the carriers along, one tank at a time, at the end of the chosen cycle time. During cleaning and rinsing, the carriers are oscillated vertically through 30mm, to enhance the process. Lens cleaning takes place in stages 1 and 3. Stage 1 contains a cleaning fluid that removes most of the contamination and etches the lens surface. The lenses are then manually transferred to stage 2 which is the load station and first rinse tank, the lenses are then automatically transferred to stage 3 to be ultrasonically cleaned for a second time. The clean lenses are hen transferred to stage 4 for a final city water rinse before being transferred to the pure water rinse stages that follow. Rinsing in pure water is required to ensure a contamination-free surface after drying. Stages 5 and 6 contain de-ionised water, which is constantly polished by means of a closed-loop water purification system. This includes activated carbon to scavenge organic contamination and a mixed-bed resin, which removes ionic contamination. The de-ionised water is heated to improve its rinsing properties and to aid drying. Stage 6 is fitted with a slow drain facility. This slowly removes the water from the final rinse stage. The capillary action as the water drains from the surface of the lenses leaves them dry with only residual water on the carrier. The final stage is an infrared dryer. This removes the remaining water from the tooling. The temperature of the IR dryer can be adjusted to suit the process. After drying the lenses are transferred to the coating stages

1.21.21.21.2 Coating
Introduction
1.21 Overview The hard coat lacquer will have a manufacturer’s ‘coating’ temperature and ‘stand-by’ temperature. Basically the coating temperature is the optimum temperature to achieve a good quality coating and the stand-by temperature is that at which the solvent can be stored with minimal solvent evaporation. For this reason the coating tanks are fitted with externally mounted cooling coils. Each coil is controlled by an independent refrigeration system fitted on the lower shelf within the machine.
Application of the coating is by dipping and the coating thickness is controlled by the speed at which the lenses are removed from the lacquer. The manufacturer of the lacquer will recommend the coating thickness and the speed at which to remove the lenses. This is covered in more detail later. In order to achieve the maximum stability when the lenses are being withdrawn from the lacquer, the coating tank moves with respect to the lenses. The tank is powered up and down using an oil dampened pneumatic system. Adjusting the speed at which the oil is bled through one of three speed control valves can vary the withdrawal rate very precisely. The system also provides the facility for three different speeds to be pre-set, with automatic speed selection according to the lens carrier being used. Coated lenses entering an uncontrolled environment would be susceptible to particulate contamination sticking to their wet surface. In order to minimise this risk we have included a pre-cure zone within the machine’s class 100 HEPA filtered environment. This will evaporate solvents from the lacquer leaving the lenses ‘touch dry’ and ready for final curing in a standard laboratory oven. Final curing should be in accordance with the instructions provided by the lacquer manufacturer. We recommend that the lenses are inspected before they a given the final cure. Should a lens be found to have a defect in the coating it can be stripped and re-coated after the pre-cure stage.

2 2 2 2 Machine
Installation & Start-up
2.1 Siting the Machine The machine should be sited on a flat surface to enable the weir overflows on the rinse tanks and the four-sided weir overflows on the coating tank are level to ensure an efficient operation. Try to choose a location that already has a water supply and a low level drain connection nearby. The machine is fitted with levelling feet so some compensation for an uneven floor can be made. The levelling feet are combined with the castors. These can be adjusted by rotating the red plastic wheel below the mounting point. It is best to lever the machine up, then adjust the height of the feet, one by one, then lower the machine to rest at the new height.
2.2 Connecting the Services
• Check pipe-work integrity following transport and installation – make sure all connections and fittings appear to be sound.
• Connect town-mains supply to 15mm pipe at the back of the machine. Do not turn on the water supply at this stage.
• Connect drain to the two 22mm pipes on rear of machine. These are a gravity drain and should fall from this position. If there is not a suitable drain on site, this should be connected to a collector tank fitted with a sump pump. We recommend a polypropylene header tank (domestic type) and a sump pump with automatic level control. Please contact us if you are unsure of what to do.
• Connect a 415V 20 Amp Three phase & neutral supply to the machine.
• Connect a compressed air supply to the connection on the rear of the machine and check that the pressure is set to 4 bar.
• The air conditioning unit will also have to be connected to the machine in accordance with the enclosed installation instructions. This involves the siting of the external heat exchanger to the cooler in the roof of the machine. There are two pipes and two electrical cables. There is also a water drain connection for condensate.
CHC60
Operator’s Manual for the CHC60-4 Mk1 Revision 1 9
2.3 Preparing the Machine
• Remove the black lid from the reservoir tank inside the machine. Check the drain valve from the reservoir tank is closed – this is the plastic valve accessible from the right hand side panel. The valve is positioned just above the drip tray
at the rear right hand side of the machine. Closed is with the blue line at 90° to the pipe.
• Open the mains water supply to the system and check that water flows into the reservoir tank. Whilst the tank is filling check for leaks. Watch the water level and make sure that it automatically turns off at about 35mm (1inch) above the heating element.
• Place the water purifying cylinders inside the machine. They stand in the drip try behind the front access door. The carbon cylinder should be placed to the left and the de-ionising cylinder to the right. Water flows in from the left so make sure that the inlet (marked on the connector) is on the left-hand side of the cylinder.
• Connect the two cylinders together using the small connector provided.
• Connect the flexible pipes inside the machine to the cylinders. The flexible pipes are connected together for transport. Simply unscrew the connectors and reconnect them to the cylinders. Make sure that the pipes are free, not twisted and not putting a strain on the rigid pipe-work.
• Check that the drain valves on tanks 1 to 6 are closed (located under tanks). These Tanks will Fill automatically until the correct water level is reached.
• Add the cleaning fluids. Refer to the separate chemical data sheet for concentration levels. If you are unsure, please contact Optimal Technologies for advice.
• The heater thermostats fitted to the CHC 60 are all factory set to provide the
correct fluid temperatures: stages 1,2,3 and 4 are between 40 and 50°C; stages
5 and 6 are between 53 and 55°C. The temperatures are measured by a thermometer reading taken at the stage identified and should not be adjusted.
2.4 Powering up the Cleaning Machine.
• Before applying power to the machine isolate the air supply using the valve on the rear of the system.
• Read the below sections 2.5 to 2.9 before powering up the machine.
• See section 4.1 & 4.2.
CHC60
Operator’s Manual for the CHC60-4 Mk1 Revision 1 10
2.5 Checking for Water Flow and Bleeding the Cleaning Machine
• The pump should now start to run. This will pump water through the purifying cylinders and the small blue (10inch / 200mm) particulate filter to stages 5 & 6. Air in the system may prevent this happening, so if no water begins to flow after thirty seconds or so, the system probably contains an airlock and will have to be bled. First try switching the machine on and off a few times using the green and red buttons. Allow 5 to 10 seconds between on and off times and look for air bubbles escaping into the tanks.
IMPORTANT: If the pump is left to cavitate (pump air) if will soon fail because water is the lubricant. Make absolutely sure that the system is bled and the pump is running with a steady tone.
• To bleed the system slowly unscrew the bleed screw located on the black connector between the in and out connections on the de-ionising cylinder (right hand cylinder). Do not fully remove this fitting but open it until you hear air escaping. Hold the screw fitting in this position until water flows from the screw thread.
• If there is still no flow into the tanks bleed the small particulate filter. The bleed device is the small red button located on the top of the filter housing. Press this down until water flows from around it.
2.6 Check the Water Levels.
• Stages 5 and 6 will now fill to overflow. If the flow stops it will be because there is insufficient water in the reservoir tank, which has been detected by the reservoir low-level switch. Allow the automatic top-up from the mains supply to catch up with the pump. This will balance itself automatically.
CHC60
Operator’s Manual for the CHC60-4 Mk1 Revision 1 11
2.7 Filling the Tanks
• The lid over the top of the coating tank can now be opened using the OPEN / CLOSE switch found on the Manual Menu of the touch screen (see section 5).
• Remove the baffle plate from the base of the tank until after the tank is filled
• Now clean all dust and particulate from all surfaces inside the machine and pay particular attention to the inside of the tanks. We suggest that you use a solvent that is compatible with your hard coat material.
• The tank can now be filled with the hard coat lacquer. Approximately 5 litres will be required to fill the tank and filtration pipes and cartridge. It will not be possible to put all 5 litres in until the system is bled and all of the pipe work is full.
• When the tank has overflowed and the weir trough fills to the same level as the tank, you can open the speed control valve to pneumatic pump until it is pumping rapidly. This should start to drive the air from the system. DO NOT RUN FOR LONG because the overflow trough will quickly empty.
• We suggest that you close the pump speed control valve before the trough empties and then inspect the pump, filter and pipe work for leaks. If there are no leaks refill the over flow trough and run the pump again.
2.8 Degassing the Tanks
• It is important to ensure that there are no small air bubbles in the system. Watch the flow of lacquer streaming up from the inlet to the tank. If you can see small bubbles turn the pump off and bleed the filter cartridge from the blue cap on the top of it – turn it anti-clockwise about half a turn. BE CAREFUL NOT TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THIS because the lacquer will spill from it rapidly.
• Run the machine for about 15 minutes to let it settle and then check again for bubbles. NOTE if you find that it is impossible to eliminate the bubbles, it could be because there is a leak on the suction side of the pump. If this is the case it will necessitate that the system is drained and the pipe work is sealed.
• Clean and refit the baffle plate by lower it into the tank using the hook provided. You can tap the baffle plate on the base of the tank to release bubbles that may have become attached to the inside of the tank whilst the system was being bled.

3333 Safety
Precautions
• DO NOT put hands or any other part of your body into the ultrasonic tanks when they are in operation.
• DO NOT let the chemicals come in contact with skin – Always handle and use the chemicals in accordance with the manufacturer’s Health and Safety Data Sheets.
• DO NOT open the machine door or panels when the machine is in use.
• DO NOT put your hand or any objects into the gap on the right hand side of the transfer beam. The transfer beam is the device that supports the lens rack during the process.
• Always isolate the machine before any maintenance work on it is performed on the system.
• We recommend that only a qualified electrician work inside the electrical control panel.
• Avoid excessive splashing of water around the top surround. This can cause ingress of water into the automation mechanical components resulting in failure.
• If there is any indication of a problem with the machine isolate it at the mains and contact the supplier.
• DO NOT attempt to process more than one batch of lenses at a time.

About Ultra-Sonics
4.1 Ultra-Sonics
Ultra-sonic energy is energy in the form of sound waves – or mechanical vibrations - at too high a frequency to be heard by the human ear. When present in a tank of cleaning liquid these waves cause each particle of liquid to be alternately stretched and compressed at the frequency of operation. In the UCS 150 this happens between 35-40,000 times each second.
Ultra-sonic waves in this application are produced by means of three transducers bonded to the base of each of the ultra-sonic tanks. These transducers convert the electrical energy supplied by a generator in the control box into ultra-sonic vibratory energy. Ultra-sonic energy produces a number of effects but three of these STREAMING, DEGASSING and CAVITATION are of particular significance in ultra-sonic cleaning.
4.2 Streaming
When the base of the ultra-sonic tank vibrates it produces a force that causes the liquid to flow away from it. This results in a flow of liquid to the surface. This is what causes the waves you see on the surface of the liquid in the ultra-sonic tank. Streaming is useful because it assists in dispersing loosened contaminant from the surface of the lenses.
4.3 Degassing
Most liquids contain dissolved gas. This is in the form of vast numbers of minute finely dispersed bubbles. When these bubbles are exposed to ultra-sonic energy they expand and compress at the applied frequency (in this case 35-40,000 time each second). Bubbles larger that a particular size associated with the operating frequency will allow smaller bubbles to enter them as they expand. These bubbles continue to grow until they are large enough to float to the surface. The liquid is degassed when all of the large bubbles have been released. The water-based chemicals recommended for use in ultrasonic cleaning only take a few seconds to degas. During this start-up part of the process you will see and hear that the ultra-sonic energy is slightly muted.
CHC60
Operator’s Manual for the CHC60-4 Mk1 Revision 1 14
4.4 Cavitation
Bubbles smaller than those removed in the degassing phase perform the cleaning. During the stretching phase they grow and during the compression phase they collapse violently. It is millions of these minute bubbles collapsing that cause the contamination to be lifted from the surface of the lens. The lenses do not vibrate – it is the cavitation that scrubs them clean.

6666 Lens
Preparation
6. The key to successful coating is preparation of the lenses.
1. Sharp and brittle edges must be removed from plus lenses using an edging wheel. Sharpe edges will cause: a. The tooling to cut into the lenses and the increase the likelihood of lenses
becoming loose and fall from the tooling.
b. Material from the edges of the lenses to be splintered by the ultrasonic cavitation. This will bond to the optical surface resulting in post-coating surface specs.
2. All traces of manufacturing residues must be removed: cerium oxide, blocking
wax and monomer particulate will cause pits on the lens surface if not totally removed. Blocking wax from the edge of minus lenses can migrate to the lens surface during cleaning resulting in post-coating surface specs.
3. The lenses must be free from existing hard coat so remove this using a suitable caustic stripper.
4. Now clean the lenses by hand using methanol or IPA and an approved soft cloth or disposable lint-free tissue. This will remove alignment ink marks. Before loading the lenses into the coating tooling be sure to inspect to ensure that they are completely free from surface damage or particles.
5. The lenses must be loaded into the lens fixtures by trained personnel to ensure that the correct pressure is applied to them and they are not damaged. If the client has a lens scrubbing machine that uses brushed or sponges, we recommend that this is used to mechanically scrub the lenses prior to hand cleaning with methanol.
Once prepared please process the lenses in accordance with the parameters shown on the process sheet.

8888 Maintenance
8.1 Daily Maintenance
• Drain stages 1,2 and 4 by opening the valves located below the tanks. The valves are closed when the text is horizontal.
• Using the hand-held spray gun rinse the tanks out until they are clean. The water supply to the spray gun is via an isolating valve. Open the valve before use and close it after use.
• Close the drain valves below the cleaning tanks and fill the tanks to about 25mm (1”) below their rims. Ensure that the liquid level sensors on the front of the tanks are closed.
• Refill with fresh chemicals. (refer to the recommended process manual)
• Check for any obvious defects and rectify.
• Wipe down surfaces to prevent spilt chemicals crystallising on the surfaces.
• Check the quality of the water in the final stage. The water quality should
always be higher than 1 MΩ/cm or less than 1 µS/cm depending on the type of meter used. If you do not have a suitable meter please contact us for further information.
8.2 Monthly Maintenance
Slides Lubricate the two oscillation slides using light machine oil. These are the slides, which are 160mm long and mounted above the two triangular oscillation fulcrums. Deionised Water System The two large blue cylinders inside the machine purify the water (refer to 2.3 for correct installation procedures). If the contamination in your incoming water is high, and the main reservoir is drained and refilled frequently (say 3 to 4 times) this could exhaust the purifying media inside the cylinders. We recommend that the deionised water is only drained and cleaned when the cylinders are depleted or if the water in the tanks and reservoir has become stagnant Check inside the reservoir monthly for evidence of algae. If evident we recommend that the system be sterilised as follows:
• Isolate the main water supply.
• Drain the reservoir inside the console and wipe it out.
• Should there be any signs of bacterial growth i.e. a slimy film on the side walls of the tank sterilise as follows:
CHC60
Operator’s Manual for the CHC60-4 Mk1 Revision 1 34
• Wipe all residues from side walls
• Fill the tank by opening the mains water isolator valve.
• Add 4 sterilising tablets to the reservoir tank (the type of tablets used to sterilise a baby’s bottle e.g. Milton)
• Leave for one hour and then turn the system on and allow the two rinse tanks to fill.
• Add an additional tablet to each of the rinse tanks and leave for a further 10 minutes with the pump running.
• Drain and refill the system as normal
• Check flow as described in 2,5 and 2.6 above This procedure will reduce the life of the cylinders and should only be carried out if absolutely necessary
8.3 Every Three Months
Replacing the Water Purifying Cylinders. You will have been checking the quality of the water in the final rinse tank daily. We would, however, recommend that the ELGA/Vivendi cylinders be replaced every three months, as they may degrade rapidly thereafter. When replacing the De-ionising cylinders ensure that the particulate filter (Part No.W7-102, 5 micron) is also replaced. After replacing the cylinders check the water flow as described in 2.5 and 2.6 of this manual. IMPORTANT: If the system is not bled and the pump is allowed to cavitate it will self-destruct. Ensure that the correct procedure is followed Slides & Bearings Remove the rear cover from the machine and lightly grease all of the slides associated with the automation.
8.4 Every six Months
Every six months the machine should be serviced. We recommend that a qualified maintenance technician carry out this work.

9.1 Solids Checking.
You will require precision scales with a resolution of two decimal places (0.00g) 1. Clean, thoroughly dry and weigh a small disposable container. Note the weight of
the container (A).
2. Take approx. 2ml of lacquer and put it in the container. 3. Weigh the container with the lacquer in it. Now deduct (A) and note the result as
(B). This will be approximately 2g and is the exact weight of the lacquer in the container.
4. Now put the container in an oven at 120°C for 1 hour. 5. After 1 hour weigh the container again and then deduct (A). Note the result as
(C): This is the weight of the solids and will probably be between 0.4 and 0.7 6. Now make the following calculation: (C) divided by (B) them multiply by 100 will
be the percentage solids C / B * 100 = % solids
9.2 Diluting the Lacquer
We recommend that a 80/20 mixture of Methanol and 1-Methoxy-2-propanol (typical 98.5%) is used. So mix 8 parts methanol with 2 parts MP. This is the diluting solvent. Solvent required is (kg(AS – RS)) / RS Kg = weight of the lacquer in the system. When the tank is full this 5 kg AS = Actual Solids RS = Required Solids So if the calculation above shows that the Actual solids content (AS) is 30% and we recommend 24% the calculation would be: 5(30-24) / 24 = 1.25. So we must add 1.25 litres to 5 litres to produce the correct solids content.
