Zusammenfassung:A lens coating system, which includes a gripper assembly for transferring and loading lenses, further includes one or more features to facilitate improved lens handling within the system. The one or more features includes a sensor assembly that is adapted to detect whether a single blocked lens or a pair of blocked lenses is being loaded by the gripper assembly into a spindle assembly of the system, and/or a sensor assembly that is adapted to detect a displacement of a lens holding element, from which lenses are transferred, by the gripper assembly, when impinged upon by the gripper assembly.
