đź”§ Automation Milestone Achieved at rxotulsa- Independent Wholesale Optical Lab!
We are excited to share that Coburn Technologies has successfully installed the Duality de-taper and lens cleaner, along with the Automated Velocity UV Spin Coater—completing full surfacing automation at rxotulsa, one of the most advanced independent optical labs in the U.S.
Since 1991, rxoulsa has been proudly independent in Tulsa, Oklahoma, consistently leading the industry through relentless investment in technology and innovation. This latest automation milestone empowers the lab to keep breaking records in production, efficiency, and quality.
🙏 A huge thank you to Keith Heckenkemper for trusting Coburn Technologies with his coating process, and to Julie and Aaron (pictured with our Sales Manager, Jason Frank) for their outstanding support during planning and installation.
👀 Fun fact: Aaron’s father worked at Coburn’s original location just 50 miles away in Muskogee—making this project a full-circle moment in the best possible way.
