The first Shapemill NCF 1600 K55 installed in the USA

Hello everybody,

Today I’d like to talk about the first Shapemill NCF 1600 K55 installed in the USA, purchased by Keystone Memorials Inc. in Elberton, GA 30635.

Keystone Memorials Inc. is a company whose core business is the production of monuments and mausoleums.

The version of Shapemill machining centre for natural stone purchased by Keystone Memorials is the K55, the largest machining centre Breton ever produced since it makes it possible to process a block of 4.500x3.000x1.500mm in height (177.2x118.1x59.1”).

Its working travels are the following:
X-axis = 4.000mm (157.5”)
Y-axis = 5.500mm (216.5”)
Z-axis = 1.600mm (63”)The A-axis rotates from 0° to +115° and the C-axis rotates at ±200°.

Shapemill spindle releases a power of 36 kW at 6.000 rpm.

The Cartesian axes have the following advance speeds:
X-axis = 0÷40 m/min (0÷1,574 ipm)
Y-axis = 0÷40 m/min (0÷1,574 ipm)
Z-axis = 0÷30 m/min (0÷1,181 ipm)The A- and C-axis rotation speed is 12 rpm.

Shapemill 1600 machining centre can hold a disk with maximum diameter of 1.000mm (39.4”).

The tool magazine has 27 cells and the maximum length of the tool is 450mm (17.7”)

Keystone Memorials’ Shapemill is also equipped with a lathe enabling to produce columns and twisted effect details with dimensions of ø 1.080/1.600 x3.200mm in length (ø 42.5/62.3 x126”).

The overall dimensions of Breton machining centre are the following: 8.500x7.850x6.500mm in height (334.6x309.1x255.9”).

As you can see in the picture above, Shapemill began producing as soon as it was installed.

I will show you the workpieces produced by the second Shapemill installed in the USA shortly.

Breton uses Windows Embedded for remote assistance

In June 2013 Microsoft visited Breton at Castello di Godego and realized this wonderful video!

ASEM, our supplier, with its Ubiquity solution won the "Windows Embedded Intelligent Systems Partner Excellence Award" in the Global Manufacturing category. 
The award recognizes each year Microsoft partners that stood out by delivering creative problem-solving intelligent solutions to customers.

In August 2012 Breton and Lido Stone Works began installing an intelligent system, called Ubiquity, designed by industrial automation pioneer ASEM and based on Windows Embedded, the Windows Azure platform, SQL Server, and the Windows Server and Windows operating systems.

Lido Stone Works, a custom manufacturer of stone products, wanted a more automated production environment, so it asked Breton, a well-known machinery manufacturer, for help.

Lido decided to implement an intelligent system from Breton and Microsoft that connects manufacturing equipment with central servers.

The solution includes ASEM Ubiquity software based on Windows Embedded.

As a result, Lido has increased revenue by 70 percent and productivity by 30 percent, while Breton has cut travel costs by approximately € 400,000 (US$ 524,000) by assisting customers remotely. 

Most importantly, the solution is helping Lido realize its potential for innovation.

Breton & BretonUSA at STONEXPO MARMOMACC AMERICAS

At the Stonexpo 2014, Breton USA had a GREAT show, with 100’s of visitors to our stand from 27 US States, 5 Canadian provinces, and 5 foreign countries, bringing projects in all market segments from Fabshop to Traditional (Natural Stone) to compound stone technology. 

At the show we refocused our efforts to show our customer our increased North American commitment in manpower, facilities, and future investment. 

Tom Camp - Arizona and New Mexico agent and Magdalena Picardi - BretonUSA General Manager

John Fallon - Nord East – New England salesman with G. Filippetto - BretonUSA Vice president, Gerry van Der Bas - BretonUSA National Sales and Piero Zamperin - Breton

We hope the message taken will be that we are here with the resources to work with companies of all shapes and sizes and we are focused on their goals.

We proudly displayed our New NC300 K40 Robocup which is currently being installed at a Toronto Metro Area Client and this machine was a real hit with our Fabricator friends.

We closed one project at the show and expect to have quite a few more as a result.

Robert Stout - Nord West agent with Gerry van Der Bas - National Sales

Clearly, there is a movement in our industry toward high quality, high reliability equipment, and while I’m certainly biased towards Breton, I truly think with all of our recent investment and acquisition. We are in a great position to be the best machinery partner for the stone industry.

We were so happy to see that people are looking, interested, and most importantly investing in their business again in North America, and we’ll be proud to work with those that choose to be our partner going forward.

So, speaking on behalf of all the members of the Breton USA North American Sales Team, I say the show is a big success, and we are resolved in the next weeks to capitalize on every opportunity we can.
