Briot Evolution

The versatile edging system

With Optical Frame Tracing, another industry first, the system allows you to capture the shape of the frame in the rare occurrence that a demo lens is not available. The Evolution blocker is the master of drill hole detection. There is no need to mark the drill holes beforehand; the Evolution will elegantly capture accurate drill hole coordinates within seconds. Its intuitive interface makes modifying drill points and notches simple and easy.
The evolution edger with TMS (Torque Management System) optimizes the edging cycle time without the risk of lens slippage.

Discover the main benefits of Briot Evolution

Visualize and highlight progressive lens lasr engravings

The high resolution camera can accurately capture the laser engravings on progressive lenses to make layout easy and stress-free. With the Evolution, you can edge every lens with complete confidence.

Perfect, parallax-free blocking

A technology that enables consistently faster blocking while eliminating negative influences such as parallax and light reflections to deliver perfect blocking results

Intelligent shape smoothing

The Evolution can accurately reconstruct broken or defective demo lenses with minimal effort.

Flexibility and speed with TMS

New sensors and improved software maintain constant pressure on the lens, thus reducing edging time with no risk of misalignment, especially on hydrophobic lenses. Briot Evolution intelligently adjusts its edging cycles to the thickness of the lens and material.

Best finishing results

No two frames are exactly alike. With a dynamically adjustable drilling / grooving tool up to 30° and Briot’s Best-Fit Technology, the Evolution ensures that the lens has an exceptional finish.

The first fit is the right fit

90mm diameter wheels can perform bevels that larger wheels cannot. Achieve the best aesthetics with full bevel width and height control, especially in thin metal frames.
