Storage & Organizers for the Optical Bench
Storage and organizers are the bench-top systems that keep the small consumables of eyewear dispensing and repair sorted and within reach. In an optical lab, dispensary, or repair bench, a technician cycles through frame screws, nose pads, temple tips, hinge hardware, and washers all day long, and loose parts scattered across a drawer cost time and lead to mismatched fixes. The organizers in this category solve that in two proven formats: rotating dispensing dial boxes, where ten compartments sit under a single turntable lid for quick grab-and-go access, and clear vial tube sets, where each labeled, color-capped tube holds one part type and lifts out for portable, per-part handling.
Because US Ophthalmic runs an in-house technical, repair, and spare-parts department, we understand this workflow from the bench side, not just the catalog. A well-organized parts station is what keeps a repair turnaround fast and a dispensary tidy, so we carry organizers sized from a compact single dial up to a twelve-vial tub with a tray. Every unit ships empty, ready to stock with the exact screws, pads, and fasteners your practice runs through most, and each is backed by the same US-based service and support we stand behind across our equipment lines.
How to choose storage & organizers
- What you are storing: Match the compartment depth to the part. Screws and micro-fasteners fit a smaller dial or tube, while bulkier items like nose pads and temple tips call for the larger dial box or a wider vial.
- Access style: dial vs. tube: A rotating dispensing dial keeps every compartment fixed in one unit under a turntable lid, ideal for a stationary repair bench. Individually removable vials are better when you want to carry one part type to the frame or pass it between stations.
- Compartment count and layout: The dial boxes offer ten slots in a single footprint; the tube sets scale from a compact bench set up to a twelve-vial tub. Count the distinct part types you sort daily and choose a layout that gives each its own home.
- Bench footprint vs. capacity: A small dial takes almost no room and suits a lean station, while the twelve-vial tub with tray holds far more but claims more bench space. Balance the parts volume you keep on hand against the space you can spare.
- Visibility and labeling: Clear vials let a tech confirm contents at a glance, and labelable, color-coded caps make reordering fast and consistent. This matters most when several people share the bench and inventory has to stay predictable.
- Scaling your parts inventory: Storage needs grow with your repair volume. Mixing dial boxes and tube sets lets you start small and add units as your spare-parts stock expands, rather than replacing the whole station.
Storage & organizer models
The Luxvision organizers below cover the two main formats and a range of capacities, from a single compact dial to a full twelve-vial tub. All ship empty so you can stock them to your own bench. Diameters are noted to help you match the dial size to what you store.
| Model | Type | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| TUB-1000 | Compact vial tube set with clear, color-capped vials | Lean benches wanting a small-footprint set of labeled tubes for screws and small parts |
| TUB-2000 | Twelve-vial storage tub with organizing tray | Higher-volume stations sorting many part types at once, from screws to nose pads, with color-coded caps |
| BOX-5001 | Small rotating dispensing dial box (approx. 62 mm) | Storing screws and miscellaneous fasteners in a minimal, grab-and-go footprint |
| BOX-5002 | Medium rotating dispensing dial box (approx. 92 mm), 10 slots | A mid-size dial for screws and mixed small parts on a shared bench |
| BOX-5003 | Large rotating dispensing dial box (approx. 112 mm), 10 slots | Bulkier components such as nose pads that need deeper compartments |
Frequently asked questions
What do optical storage & organizers hold? They are built for the small consumables of eyewear dispensing and repair: frame and hinge screws, nose pads, temple tips, washers, and other miscellaneous fasteners. Each compartment or vial keeps one part type separated so a tech can find and fit the right piece quickly.
Should I choose a dispensing dial box or a vial tube set? Choose a rotating dial box when you want ten fixed compartments in one unit that stays put on a repair bench under a single turntable lid. Choose a vial tube set when you want each part in its own labeled tube that lifts out for portability, per-part handling, and easy reordering.
Do these organizers come with screws or nose pads included? No. Every unit ships empty so you can stock it with the exact parts your practice uses. That keeps the station tailored to your inventory rather than forcing a preset assortment you may not need.
Can the tubes be labeled for reordering? Yes. The vials are clear so contents are visible at a glance, and the caps are color-coded and labelable. That makes it easy to standardize a shared bench and reorder the right part before you run out.
Can US Ophthalmic supply the spare parts to fill them? Yes. Our in-house repair and spare-parts department can help you source the screws, nose pads, and small components to stock these organizers, all backed by US-based service and support.
