Advanced Deep Step Bevel Technology Enables Precise Processing of Lens-over-Frame Sunglasses
Enhanced Precision for Super-Hydrophobic Lenses and Faster Processing Speed Support Global Market Expansion
Huvitz Co., Ltd., a global leader in eye-care solutions, is gaining strong attention in the optical industry with the rapid adoption of its newly launched premium lens edging system, HPE-990, particularly among optical stores specializing in high-end sunglasses and complex frame designs.
Equipped with advanced processing capabilities that were difficult to achieve with conventional systems, the HPE-990 allows optical professionals to handle highly sophisticated designs with exceptional precision. This technological advantage is helping Huvitz expand its presence not only in Korea but also across the global premium optical retail market.
The key highlight of the HPE-990 is Huvitz’s proprietary Deep Step Bevel technology. This innovation enables stable lens processing at depths of up to 20 mm, making it possible—for the first time worldwide—to precisely edge lens-over-frame sunglasses, a design previously considered extremely challenging with standard equipment.
In addition, the system supports a wide range of complex applications, including sports goggles, high-curvature specialty frames, and VR device lenses, significantly enhancing the production capabilities of optical stores.
From a hardware perspective, the HPE-990 delivers notable performance upgrades over its predecessor. The system features a 1.7× more powerful motor wheel, an Xtra Large clamp, and an expanded block adapter, all of which greatly improve processing stability. These enhancements are particularly effective when working with super-hydrophobic coated lenses, ensuring accurate axis alignment and precise sizing without slippage.
By minimizing axis rotation and misalignment, the HPE-990 reduces common fitting issues such as lens decentration, earning high praise from optical professionals in real-world practice.
Processing speed has also been improved by up to 1.5×, allowing optical stores to achieve both high precision and operational efficiency. As a result, the HPE-990 has quickly established itself as a productivity-boosting solution for modern optical labs.
Building on this advanced technology, Huvitz is accelerating its global expansion strategy with the HPE-990 at the forefront. The company is focusing particularly on the North American market, where demand for premium sunglasses and specialty lenses continues to grow. Customized technical training programs and enhanced digital marketing initiatives are being deployed to firmly position Huvitz as a premium edging system brand.
“The HPE-990 is designed to meet the exact needs of optical professionals by combining design versatility with exceptional processing stability,” said Kyungseok Song, Head of Sales at Huvitz. “We will continue to expand live demonstrations and technical support worldwide to further strengthen our leadership in the global lens edging system market.”
