Hard Skills
IntermediateThermal Lens HardeningThe process of using controlled heat cycles and rapid cooling to increase the impact resistance and durability of glass or plastic lenses.
IntermediateChemical Strengthening ProcessTreating lenses in a chemical bath, typically involving ion exchange, to improve surface hardness and scratch resistance.
IntermediateVisual Inspection for Optical DefectsThe ability to identify surface scratches, pits, bubbles, or waves in the lens post-hardening using polarized light or magnification.
IntermediateEquipment Calibration and MaintenanceRoutine checking and adjusting of ovens, timers, and temperature sensors to ensure the hardening environment remains within specific tolerances.
FoundationalOccupational Health and Safety (OHS) ComplianceStrict adherence to safety protocols for handling high-temperature materials, chemicals, and machinery, including the use of PPE.
