- Hello I would like to welcome you
to the Laramy-K Optician Works training center.
Where today we have a rather special event.
On loan we have Santinelli's newest edger
the LEXCE or LEXCE, affectionately known as Lexi.
Just got this pallet in and first thing that I notice
is that it's actually quite light weight.
I have no fear of moving this thing about by myself.
Of course I've had the 1,000 and the 1,200 and 700
here in the past, and the 1,000 and the 1,200
were pretty much a beast but,
let's find out what we got on our pallet here.
We got plastic straps here, we can just use our razor knife,
we don't need any special tools or anything.
We'll start with the medium sized box.
Yep, that's what I thought, okay.
This is the recirculating pump system,
I don't have running water out here in this training lab
if I did I would hook up the edger directed is a better
method but for any of those isolated places
you don't have that option of a drain and a cold water line,
you use the recirculating tank.
It's a bucket, two pumps and some hoses.
And I will show you how you set that up.
In just a few minutes.
Let's see what's in this one.
Oh yes.
This is the frame tracing unit.
And that's what makes this a patternless edger.
And let's see we got some insolary pieces that come with it.
You know what, I have no idea what these are,
but I think they are part of holding the unit together
cause I see a couple of holes here on the top.
But I'm sure we're gonna figure it out
when we get to installing it.
I know what this is though.
This is the frame calibration unit.
This lets the tracing unit and the edger
talk to each other and make sure everything is being cut
on size.
These tracing units are extraordinarily sensitive
so this is incredibly good packaging here.
Set that out of the way.
Let's get this out of the box, and I'm gonna
set that to the side there.
See what we got.
And these usually lift out
a little bit at the plastic.
Yep, there we go.
And while I think of it, I usually have the
benefit of doing this off camera, and I would suggest
you really take your time have some patience
I wouldn't try to juggle it between customers
or have some pressure over your head.
I really want extra coverage, a good couple of hours
to spend, really focused on what you're doing.
This is not a time to make a mistake with your knife,
or drop something or knock something off of a counter.
Cause that's really expensive.
Alright,
one frame tracing unit.
And we've got one more box to go before the edger itself.
Let's see what we got.
Ah ha!
Wow got an entire box of lead pads that's very nice.
Usually you get these like starter kit
with like 10 of them.
That's 1,000 pads, not bad.
We've got white pliable blocks,
that makes me so happy, I was never really a fan
of the reds and the greens to be honest with ya.
And we have our official welcome packet.
Let's find out what's in there.
All kinds of goodies, let's see.
Little story of Santinelli, there's Gerrard,
training, looks like they have a news letter.
Service stuff.
They have a lens finishing equipment
and optical supplies catalog
good stuff.
Oh a dispensing mat, a magnetic dispensing mat, nice.
Wasn't sure what this was for a second.
That's it.
Alright let's find out what's inside this box.
Course I think by process of elimination
I'm gonna wild guess that it's the edger.
But before I do that, I'm gonna have to have a place
to put it, give me just one second while
I clean this mess up a little bit.
You know while I think about it
I'm not gonna throw these boxes away however.
I will throw some of the packaging material away
like the shrink wrap and maybe the straps.
Probably toss the pallet, but do not throw these boxes away
for at least, I would say at least 30 days just in case.
I'm using my fingers as guide here, I'm not burying this
blade into anything, I'm literally just using
the tip of it.
Can't see that, but don't go you know
jamming a knife in there or anything.
This,
don't think that will surprise anyone,
that's our power cord, set that off to the side, need that.
Got a box of some kind, let's see what's in there.
We've got,
a rather enormous manual.
We've got I don't know, but I'm sure
we're gonna find out as we do our install
what those are.
And some kind of measuring grid system.
It has a star on them.
This is part of the blocking
system, I know cause I've used these before.
For smaller lenses, it supports it while
you're doing your blocking.
And we'll get to that when we actually show you
how to use the machine.
We have one of those phareos things that goes on
the power cord, here are those lead pads
that I was talking about, kinda the starter kit.
You've got the official tool kit
for maintenance and using this.
And they supply almost all of the tools,
certainly all the tools you need for further maintenance
down the road, you've got,
your hex wrenches, some pliable blocks,
measuring drill tools and,
oh they still have the attachment for the
air handler or the odor control system.
This is part of the tank system which you'll see.
We've got some stones every once in a while
as years go by you have to dress your wheels.
This is how we take the blocks off there from the lens.
And this is how you dress the polishing wheel.
I'm not gonna get that all right now but
whatever you do, make sure you look really carefully
at what you can and cannot dress and polish and treat
as far as wheels go, or else you can make garbage
real real fast, really expensive garbage really fast
so be careful there.
Alright, set some more of this off to the side here.
So it looks like we have some packing material,
again some really nice dense foam.
Protect this through it's journey from,
goodness, I think all the way from Japan these things come.
Still some more.
And if you look in the manuals everyone them says
that you know, absolutely no circumstances would you ever
pick one of these up by yourself but I'm stubborn
and I'm, I just go ahead and do it anyway.
Yeah this one actually has some nice handles,
there centered right there, there kind of designed
to do just what I'm about to do.
In the big picture of things, I wouldn't actually
call that lite so, most of you would probably kinda need
help with that.
Alright that's everything that came on that pallet.
Again I'm gonna set this to the side,
I am not going to throw this box away
for at least a couple of months, I know it's big
I know it takes up lots of room
I know you got this little tiny storage area in the back
too bad, hold on to it for a little bit.
And I just wanna check one other thing.
Yeah this isn't one of those giant four by eight
oak kind of things so I don't think you'll have trouble
picking this up and tossing it
into the dumpster.
Let's see what's under the cover.
Wow, that's,
I think that's kind of a nice looking machine.
I wouldn't mind having that front and center
so people can see it.
All kinds of tape and gadgets and foam and packing
materials that we're gonna have to go through
and remove which is what we're gonna get to next.
But let me see if I can just get this last bit of
plastic wrap off of this.
A LEXCE.
As always thank you so much for watching
I hope you found that helpful if you did
please hit that subscribe button give us a like
leave me a comment, make absolutely certain
that every uncut lens in your optical life
comes from Laramy-K and I will see you again next week
when we continue and we start doing some setup
on the edger.
