Power & Precision for Challenging Lenses
HPE-990 handles hydrophobic and curved lenses with 1.7x more power and advanced axis control—for fast, slip-free processing.
1.7x Power & 1.5x Speed – Ultimate Power Wheel Motor
Experience unmatched speed and control with the upgraded wheel motor, delivering 1.7 times more power and 1.5 times faster processing than previous models. This enhanced performance enables precise edging even on ultra-hydrophobic polycarbonate lenses—without compromising safety.
Experience unmatched speed and control with the upgraded wheel motor, delivering 1.7 times more power and 1.5 times faster processing than previous models. This enhanced performance enables precise edging even on ultra-hydrophobic polycarbonate lenses—without compromising safety.
The advanced Hydrophobic Mode reinforces safety by allowing one-touch control over pressure, speed, and key safety functions. Combined with deep step beveling capabilities and bevel finishing up to base 10, powered by the new RPDA wheel type, this system defines the core of the Ultimate Finishing Solution.
Stable Processing & Axis Control / Clamping System
The upgraded clamp and extra-large block adapter deliver enhanced lens stability during processing. This design reduces the risk of misalignment and defects while enabling a cutting force 1.7 times more powerful than previous models—ensuring safe and accurate results, even with complex lens materials.
Superior Precision & Durability / Metal Feeler
With an upgraded metal feeler tip, the system maintains high precision and long-term durability. Unlike traditional plastic tips, the metal feeler effectively resists buildup from polycarbonate lens residue, ensuring consistent accuracy and cleaner operation over time.
Quick Fitting Completion / Material-Specific Size Storage
The system supports four frame types—metal, hard plastic, soft plastic, and Ultem—and allows pre-registration of size standards for each material. This function speeds up fitting by automatically applying the optimal size parameters based on the selected frame type, reducing manual adjustments and boosting efficiency.
Precise Finishing / Retouch Function
If the initial bevel shape doesn’t align perfectly with the frame, the system allows you to retouch the bevel height for a custom mini bevel. It also supports additional operations like angled beveling to eliminate rear edge interference. Depending on the lens and job type, you can insert or adjust steps such as grooving, polishing, or drilling—optimizing fit and minimizing processing time.
Convenient 3D Simulation / Manual Position Editor
Manual position mode lets you set the ideal bevel placement based on the lens’s curvature and thickness. With intuitive 2D editing and real-time 3D simulation, adjustments are quick and accurate. For standard frames, auto position mode aligns processing with the golden ratio for consistent, optimal results.
Intuitive Indicators / Smart LED System
A smart LED indicator system reduces the risk of operator error by clearly identifying the right and left lenses with color-coded lights. Combined with a matching layout display and color-coded block adapter, it streamlines workflow and prevents costly mistakes during lens processing.
Exclusive Deep Step Bevel Technology
Ultra-precise finishing for Lens Over Frame sunglasses and complex shapes—powered by the HPE-990 with built-in high-speed drill.
Optimized for Overframe Lenses / Deep Step Bevel
Designed for modern frame styles—including Lens Over Frame sunglasses—the HPE-990 supports deep step beveling up to 20mm and beyond. With two bevel types and five edge styles, it enables versatile processing options such as beveling, grooving, and custom edge finishes.
Extensive Beveling Options / 35 Step Bevel Styles
Featuring 7 bevel types and 5 distinct edge profiles, the HPE-990 offers 35 unique beveling combinations to ensure a perfect fit for any frame design or lens requirement.
Versatile Hybrid Processing / Perfect Mix & Match
Combining multiple techniques, the system offers four hybrid processing modes that elevate frame aesthetics and functionality:
Combining multiple techniques, the system offers four hybrid processing modes that elevate frame aesthetics and functionality:
* Partial Groove (Grooving + Rimless)
* Dual Groove (Basic + Special Grooving)
* Hybrid Groove (Grooving + Bevel)
* Partial Bevel (Rimless + Bevel)
Integrated Drill System / One-Stop Workflow
Equipped with a high-speed built-in drill, the HPE-990 handles even the most complex Semi-T Bevel processing with ease—delivering results twice as fast as previous models. From drilling to deep beveling, this all-in-one system streamlines lens finishing for maximum efficiency.
Precision Customization / Step Bevel Editor
Achieve fully tailored results with the ability to process full or partial step bevels on the front, rear, or both sides of the lens—offering up to seven distinct step bevel types. Edge finishes can be precisely customized to match frame grooves, with finishing options including rimless, bevel, grooving, and blunt bevel styles for optimal frame fit.
Versatile Design Implementation / Scan & Cut Data Editor
The integrated Scan & Cut editor enables fine-tuned modifications to lens shapes, such as removing or resizing vent holes. It also supports grooving for concave lens profiles, making it ideal for handmade frames and unique, custom designs—perfect for house-brand and boutique eyewear collections.
Powerful Performance, Faster Workflow
Equipped with an enhanced 1,250W high-strength motor wheel spinning at 5,000 rpm, the HPE-990 delivers significantly faster cutting speeds. Drill work has also been optimized thanks to the high-speed rotation. As the fastest edging machine in the Huvitz lineup, the HPE-990 ensures high-efficiency performance without compromising precision.
