Guaranteed gains with the 5-axes machining centre + lathe!

Hello,
If you're looking for a 5-axes machining centre with its own lathe to produce columns, capitels, vases, sculpture and architectural pieces for restauration work?
You've come to the right place!
The Breton ShapeMill is a machining centre with 5 interpolated axes specifically designed for workshops producing pieces made from natural and engineered stone. It is ideal for restauration work.


Today in fact, after putting together some photographic material, I wanted to show you the rich range of applications the Shapemill lathe offers for marble, granite, engineered stone and limestone, etc.

The Breton Shapemill 5 axis CNC stone working centre's lathe can turn workpieces with the following dimensions:
- max. turning diameter = 1,600 mm
- max. workpiece length = 3,200 mm.

Here we can see some videos of the Shapemill at work.

For more information on the Breton Shapemill, and prices, contact mail@breton.it.
We’ll get back to you promptly.
Thank you for the attention and best regards.
Bye-bye

Machine to shape and polish straight edges of natural and engineered stone COMET Bellani.

Machine to shape and polish straight edges with a round regular shape of natural and compound stone pieces.

The edge polishers "Bellani for Breton" are the result of more than 40 years of experience of the Bellani family, which customized them expressly for Breton's customers using Breton certified and approved components, enhancing their fail-safe devices still more and equipping them with centralized lubrication.
The technical assistance is guaranteed by Breton Worldwide Service Network ensuring a rapid and effective service anytime, anywhere.

Workpieces to be processed are conveyed by a rubberized slat system specially designed to get the workpiece moving in a perfectly rectilinear way, contrary to what may happen using the common belts. An automatic plant guarantees that all the moving components of the system are perfectly lubricated. 

"Comet" performs the continuous shaping and polishing of profiles either flat and linear or with a regular round shape (such as bullnose, half bullnose and quarter bullnose edges, etc.), shaping of special profiles, calibration, execution of bilateral bevelled edges, drip grooves, wings and slots on horizontally placed, natural and engineered stone workpieces.

A hydraulic power unit actuates the slat conveyor, the 8 polishing spindles (one of which can be equipped with a diamond wheel) and the unit that makes them oscillate so that their service life is longer and faultless even though they work under a jet of water.

Besides holding 8 edge polishing spindles, "Comet" is equipped with:
- alibrating/grinding spindle to be fitted with the diamond tool suitable to execute one of the following operations (one operation excludes the others):
-  a) thickness calibration on the lower stripe
-  b) execution of slots on the edge, mounting a disk on the calibrating tool
-  c) edge profiling with a diamond wheel
- 2 grinding spindles to prepare the edge before it is shaped with the oscillating spindles

- 1 spindle for the drip groove execution

- 4 chamfering spindles (2 upper and 2 lower spindles)
- 1 spindle for the wing execution.
