BretonSmartCam EVOLUTION: Software CAD/CAM of cutting centres with 3 interpolated axes

BretonSmartCam EVOLUTION is a CAD/CAM software to draw and program complex stone workpieces, for cutting centres with three interpolated axes.

The CAM module allows to carry out the following major functions:

- cutting of slabs with saw blade

 - profiling, rough-hewing and trimming with saw blade.

- exterior/interior shaping of small blocks with saw blade.

- hole drilling.

If paired with the "BretonLathe" optional module, the software also allows to grind a twisted groove on columns generated by the revolution of a 2D profile and finish them, using a saw blade.

 

The CAD module allows to carry out the following major functions:

- generation of 2D drawings with relevant dimensions.

- determination of the 3D working volume of the piece.

- determination of any working plane inside the generated 3D volume.

- management of a 2D drawing created on the selected working plane, no matter how it is oriented in the space.

- import of drawings in DXF and DWG format from external CAD or template detectors.

- positioning of the pieces to be produced directly on the image of the slab, so as to utilize its surface to the full.

- automatic programming and display of the vacuum cup arrangement on the worktable.

- interface with the software of a possible laser projector for arranging the vacuum cups on the worktable.

- interface with the software of a possible bas-relief digitizer.

- generation of 3D models of the pieces.

- import of surfaces and solid models in IGES, STL, STEP and 3DM format.

- generation of surfaces and bas-reliefs from image processing.

- generation of 2D drawings of vanity and kitchen tops, whose dimensions are set starting from a basic template.

The 3D SOLID SIMULATION module allows:

- to check any possible tool-piece and/or tool-machine collision

- to calculate the raw material remaining after the machining

The software operates in a Windows environment, is intuitive and user-friendly. 
N.B. The software features may be limited by the technological and operational features of the machine.

Breton ContourFive NC 700

ContourFive 700 is a CNC shaping, contouring, cutting and turning centre with five inter-polated axes and a fixed worktable, that offers the users the possibility of performing mul-tiple and complex machining operations which would otherwise require several machines:

- sawing of slabs and small blocks into workpieces utilising the saw blade

- shaping of either large or small blocks utilising the saw blade to get large pieces with complex shape, such as capitals, banisters, tanks, fireplace components, etc.

- shaping and dishing out utilising millers to get shower trays, sinks, vases, bas-reliefs, engravings, etc.

 

- contouring utilising shaped tools to produce statues, kitchen tops, tombstones, compo-nents for funerary art, etc.

- turning of columns with shaped profiles or machining of columns to create a twisted ef-fect all along the surface.

ContourFive NC 700 stands out thanks to its performances:
- mobile bridge structure enabling an excellent access to the worktop
- short beam ensuring top rigidity
- "rapid" movements of up to 40 metres/minute
- high-frequency spindle with 20 kW and 14.500 rpm, which can be turned in the space along the 5 axes and controls automatically a saw blade with max. diameter of 400 mm
- max. diameter of the saw blade: 400 mm
- "C" axis rotation: ± 200°
- "A" axis rotation: from 0° to +115°
- "X" axis travel: 3.700 mm
- "Y" axis travel: 2.800 mm
- "Z" axis travel: 700 mm
- possibility of working with saw blades, shaped tools, drills, millers, etc.
- mobile carrousel-type tool-store with 27 cells + 1 (optional) cell for the saw blade
- lathe (optional) for machining both columns and capitals

User interface with button panel on a mobile arm, with multi-line alphanumeric display for control, command and programming.

 

Ideal for any type of work, from simple processing to small/mid-size productions.

 

 

Wide range of accessories:
- tilting table;
- table motorized rotation;
- optoelectronic drawing copier reading directly the profile shape; 
- Profile Importer to manage DXF files and transfer them to the machine through SD card.  

The new FE 600 TURBO is now available, provided with a 7 inch touch-screen graphic display;

simultaneous movement of the machine axes and software enabling the following operations:

Profile management

In this mode, it is possible to draw the desired profile directly on the machine by entering both the rough-machining and finishing parameters. In the machining stage, the position of the saw blade will be the origin the profile.

Polygon management

In this mode, it is possible to draw the desired piece directly on the machine. In the machining stage, the position of the saw blade will be the origin the profile.
