Project Name: Seiko Lens Edge Grinding Machine Industrial Design
Cooperation content: design analysis | appearance design | structural design | prototype production | accompanying running assistance
These are the two lens edging machine schemes (A and B) introduced by Seiko (sugot) brand. As the core equipment of optical processing, its design revolves around the core requirement of "optimization of lens precision processing operation experience", integrates the professional attributes and user care of optical processing scenes in the industrial form, and is a design sample of the integration of "functional rationality" and "experience sensibility" of optical equipment.
1. Design Analysis: Functional Modularity for Optical Machining Scenarios
The core scenario of the lens edging machine is the lens processing of the glasses shop/optical laboratory. The underlying logic of the two schemes is based on "processing process adaptation" as the core:
The functional modules are highly unified: the whole machine is divided into three major areas: "processing compartment module (transparent compartment internal clamping mechanism), operation area module (top platform) and equipment core module (body body)", which is consistent with the operation process of "putting in lens → debugging parameters → starting processing. The transparent processing cabin not only ensures the visualization of the processing process (it is convenient for technicians to monitor the accuracy), but also forms safety protection to avoid debris splashing and meet the "precision and safety" requirements of optical processing.
Scenario expression of materials: the main body adopts the combination of "white medical grade plastic dark gray functional components", and white conveys the "cleanliness" of the optical processing scene, which meets the requirements of lens processing on environmental cleanliness; Dark gray components (such as heat dissipation grille) strengthen the identification of functional areas, and are resistant to dirt and easy to clean, and are suitable for processing scenes used for high frequency times.
2. Design Language: Minimalist Aesthetics of Optical Precision
The design language of the two schemes is based on "calm and precise scene adaptation", and details are optimized through morphological differences:
Commonality: rational minimalism: all adopt the form of "rounded rectangular transparent cabin", and the design without redundant decoration conveys the "rigor" of optical equipment to avoid complex forms interfering with the processing concentration of technicians. The arc design of the transparent cabin not only enhances the visual permeability, but also strengthens the structural strength, and adapts to the high-frequency secondary opening and closing in the processing process.
Difference: Scene adaptation details: The cabin of Scheme A is made of all-black transparent material, which has stronger shading and is convenient for technicians to clearly observe processing details. The cabin of Scheme B is made of light gray transparent material, which has better light transmittance and is suitable for processing environment with darker light. The difference between the two designs reflects the precise adaptation of different usage scenarios.
3. design details: precise support for optical processing
The detailed design revolves around "the precision and efficiency of lens processing", and the two schemes have their own ingenuity:
Details of the processing compartment: the clamping mechanism inside the compartment adopts "arc-shaped adaptation design" to meet the fixing requirements of lenses with different curvatures and ensure the stability during processing. The joint between the cabin and the fuselage adopts a "sealed buckle", which not only ensures dust resistance during processing (avoids debris from polluting the lens), but also realizes the convenient operation of "one-key opening and closing" and improves the processing efficiency.
Details of the fuselage: the heat dissipation grille adopts "array design", which not only ensures the heat dissipation requirements of the equipment for long-term operation, but also strengthens the industrial aesthetics through rhythmic lines. The "JING" logo on the front of the fuselage adopts light blue silk screen printing process, which not only strengthens brand identification, but also avoids visual interference, allowing technicians to focus on processing operations.
4. ergonomics: comfortable adaptation of machining operations
The ergonomic design is optimized for "long-time operation by optical technicians:
Operating height adaptation: the overall height of the equipment is in line with the natural height of the elbow for "sitting operation". When the technician places the lens and debugs the parameters, the arm does not need to be excessively lifted or bent, thus reducing muscle fatigue.
Adaptation of operation process: the opening and closing angle of the processing cabin has been calculated, which not only ensures the hand movement space during operation, but also prevents the cabin body from occupying the surrounding space due to excessive opening and closing. The plane design of the top operation area can temporarily place tools such as lens templates to meet the "multi-tool coordination" requirements of optical processing.
Conclusion: precision partner of optical processing
The industrial design of this Seiko lens edging machine is a symbiotic sample of "functional accuracy" and "user experience" of optical processing equipment. It takes functional modularity as the skeleton to adapt to the process requirements of lens processing. Using minimalist design language as the texture to transmit the precise attributes of optical equipment; Taking detail design as the nerve to support the precision and efficiency of processing; Taking ergonomics as the blood vessel, the operation burden of technicians is reduced.
At the moment when optical processing equipment is becoming more and more refined, this design not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of lens edging, but also redefines the value of "optical processing equipment"-it is no longer a cold processing tool, but an optical technician. The "precise collaboration partner". This concept of "adapting to the optical scene by design and caring for the processing experience by details" also points out the direction for the design of optical equipment: only by deeply integrating "the rationality of optical function" with "the sensibility of user experience" can industrial products that really help optical processing be created.
