ROBOCUP SYSTEM ® - patented - is a revolutionary system that allows automating the positioning of the suction cups on the workbench as well as the piece loading and unloading. NO HOSES

ROBOCUP is a Breton Exclusive, and the Best System Available on the market to cut project cycle times and increase throughput.

The spindle automatically selects the double-acting suction cups from the store and places them on the workbench at the exact position of the self-blocking valves according to both the preset working program and the pieces to be processed.

A self-blocking device secures the suction cups to the workbench and assures the piece to perfectly stopon the suction cup.

Once the contouring has been carried out, the self-blocking device releases the pieces from the suction cups and the suction cups are then released from the workbench, the spindle automatically takes the suction cups and places them in the proper store, and finally a suitable pressure washing system washes the workbench before starting a new cycle.

A: It has affected our middle market manufacturing, the countertop market. We took a sincere approach back in 2008 in diversify our business. We decided to take on masonry, mercantile manufacturing for large chains, and high end commercial. We stuck to our guns and put a lot of resources into high end residential, and with great success we actually increased our sales and our profitability, and grew the company throughout the recession. You gotta know your markets.

You want to rub 2 nickels together and get .11 cents...that is the goal.

Q: You mentioned you like to reinvest in the company. Is there a particular new machine you are really excited about?
A: I have taken a tremendous risk in pioneering the latest technologies with a 5 axis CNC machine and 3-D software. With that risk we have some fundamental reward. The result is we are pioneering technology In the US that is proven in Europe. They are ahead of our systems here. I am doing it here and creating a manufacturing base on a global level. Long Island can and will be a manufacturing base for natural stone to support the hub of New York City, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Whatever the demand, we can manufacture it here. I am going to put everything I’ve got on the line to make it happen. The company that is supporting me along the way is Breton.
