"The A&R are widely recognized for their advanced QA capabilities in optical inspection, particularly in the production of digital freeform lenses. This device is notable for implementing "Zero Defect" technology, ensuring that every lens meets stringent quality standards before being shipped out.

The Neo Mapper we are testing in production performs comprehensive inspections of lens properties, including power, prism, addition, thickness, shape, mapping and polarization axis. It utilizes A&R's Error Map technology to evaluate freeform surfaces, making it an essential tool for proactive maintenance and statistical process control in labs​.

Being users of the Promappers and Neomapper , its ability to provide a detailed map of each lens is essential in modern day lens production, identifying production issues like dull diamonds in real-time or worn polishing tools. This has significantly enhanced our confidence in the product quality and consistency​. Additionally, the machine's design is user-friendly and robust, suitable for various lens types, including non-coated and high-index lenses​

Overall, the A&R NeoMapper is considered a vital investment for modern optical labs aiming to maintain high-quality standards and improve operational efficiency."
