If you’ve ever been shopping for metal fabrication equipment and looked across the listings from Revolution Machine Tools (RMT), you may have been a bit perplexed by some of the model-numbering nomenclature.
From the beginning of the company, the founders of RMT, now a leader in the fabrication and metalworking industry, decided to create a streamlined (and unified) system of identifying different levels of machinery throughout most of their major equipment lines.
Most of their machine types will fall into one or more of the following series:
- ECO Series. Basic and extremely affordable machines.
- FAB Series. Precision non-CNC metalworking equipment.
- SMART Series. Precision machines featuring CNC control over standard axes.
- GENIUS Series. Multi-axis high-precision CNC machines.
- GIANT Series. Large format machines.
(Note that HYBRID Series machines will refer to those that combine different technologies such as plate rolling and press brake bending or electric and hydraulic power.)
The beginning of each model number starts with one or more letters that indicates what type of machine it is, such as “A” for angle rolls, “B” for press brakes, “R” for plate rolls, and “S” for saws. So “A-ECO” refers to a motorized angle roll, while “A-FAB” would be a hydraulic angle roll without a CNC control. “B-SMART” refers to a hydraulic press brake featuring a 3 to 5 axis CNC, and “B-GENIUS” would be a hydraulic press brake with 7 to 16 (or more) axes. Some series will also include letters at the end indicating other features.
For example, the standard B-GENIUS is a hydraulic press brake, while a B-GENIUS-E is an electric press brake, and a B-GENIUS-H is a hybrid press brake.
Advantages of Buying SMART Series Machines from Revolution Machine Tools
You have likely realized that in the rapidly evolving world of manufacturing, precision, efficiency, and adaptability are critical to staying competitive. Revolution Machine Tools has engineered its SMART Series across several of their lines to meet these demands with cutting-edge technology and robust performance.
While some won’t be satisfied without an 11-axis control and a dozen more bells and whistles on their next press brake, most customers won’t need to upgrade to a GENIUS Series machine to get extremely precise control and performance that is well above industry standards.
Some key advantages of choosing SMART Series machines for your production needs include:
