A giant kitchen island made from a slab of Bretonstone JUMBO

Hello everybody,

If you happen to pass by our stand (Pavilion 4, stands B6/C7), besides 6 Breton machines (the other 2 machines are exhibited in the Pavilion 5, standsC5), you will have the chance to see a giant kitchen island made from a slab of Bretonstone JUMBO.
See some phases of its processing here under.

Beautiful, isn’t it?
It is an “all in one” kitchen island measuring 3.600x2.080mm, 20mm thick. Besides the wash-basin, kitchen top and worktop, it includes a breakfast table as well ... and here it is at “Marmomacc 2013” in all its splendour.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

An expert technician will boost the earning potential of your SHAPEMILL machining centre!

1+1 do not always equal 2!

Hello everybody,
don’t worry, I’m not crazy yet: let me explain better.

Results are evident when an outstanding machine such as SHAPEMILL teams up with a top-class technician such as Mr. Tiziano Ceradini from Margraf, Industria Marmi Vicentini (our customer in Chiampo, Vicenza). 
Tiziano knows the SHAPEMILL inside out and has the capability of running it in the best possible way.

Here you can see some of the last workpieces, but I’ll get back to you in my next post since now we are busy with Verona fair, the 48th MARMOMACC that will start on 25th September.
Breton will exhibit no less than 8 machines!

Breton machines at 48th MARMOMACC 2013 Verona

Good morning,

Once again, Breton will exhibit new machines for the NATURAL STONE and FABSHOP sectors at the 48th MARMOMACC in Verona.

- NEW CONTOURBRETON NC300 K26, available with the following useful working travels: “X” 3.800mm, “Y” 2.300mm and “Z” 300mm. 

Contourbreton NC300 K26

- SHAPEMILL NCF 1600, a numerical control shaping, profiling, cutting and turning centre with five interpolated axes. The vertical travel of 1.600mm makes it the ideal machine for architectural and funerary art components and for the execution of deep slots.

Shapemill NCF 1600

- SMART-CUT S/NC550 OPTIMA, a numerical control cutting and shaping centre with five interpolated axes, provided with a special cutting head with integrated vacuum cups for the slab cutting optimization through the piece movement on the fixed work bench. 

Smart-Cut S/NC 550 Optima

- GOLDBRETON 2000/6/V70: machine with diamond wires for sawing blocks of granite and marble.  

Goldbreton 2000

- NEW COMBICUT DJ/NC, a CNC control cutting centre with 4 or 5 axes, equipped with a diamond disk cutting unit and a Waterjet cutting unit.

Combicut DJ/NC

- Waterjet CLASSICA, a water jet cutting machine with 5 axes.

Classica 5 axes

- Breton will introduce the granite slab polisher Levibreton KG4000 PLUS at the Pavillion 5 - Stand C5.

Levibreton KG 4000 PLUS

and the 2-axes shaping machine BESTWIRE .

Bestwire

You will be mostly welcomed from 25 to 28 September at the 48th MARMOMACC, Pavillion 4 - Stand B6/C7 and Pavillion 5 - Stand C5.

SPECIAL Breton bridge saw "Smart-Cut 800"!

Hello everybody,
I'm just back from holiday and found a USB pen on my desk with photos and videos showing a Breton bridge saw, the "Smart-Cut S/NC 800", equipped with some accessories that make it really SPECIAL.
You would rightly say you already know everything about this machine! Not necessarily …
Just give me 3 minutes to explain you the peculiarities of this machine.
You know very well the machining operations that a 5-axes CNC bridge saw can perform:
- slab sawing with optimization of the slab surface  

- shaping of small blocks to get complex-shaped pieces using the disk.  

- shaping and pocketing using milling tools

Excellent, but let’s add an aluminium table supporting the vacuum cups and a laser controlling the tool profile, this is what we’ll also get:
- statues
- 3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts on flat surfaces

- bas-reliefs imported from digitized surfaces

… and what about if we add a lathe?
- columns in general with cylindrical, conical or sculpted shape

 
- bases and capitals of cylindrical columns
- bas-reliefs on columns
- linear grooves on cylindrical, conical or sculpted surfaces
- profiling, milling and hollowing out on pieces with curvilinear, spiral, cylindrical, conical or sculpted shape, using milling tools and disk
- 3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts on differently shaped surfaces
Not bad, isn't it?
At this point, we’ll have a 5-axes machining centre + lathe for the production of many complex-shaped workpieces.
The CNC bridge saw "Smart-Cut S/NC 800" is the soundest investment you have ever considered, an investment that turbo-charges your returns.
Why don't you ask for an estimate? Just write to mail@breton.it.

Well, that’s all for today.
