How to increase your production of kitchen countertops

 

Casa Del Caminetto was established in 1980 by the brothers Bernardino and Giovanni Costenaro in Cinto Caomaggiore, a town in the Province of Venice; in those days, the company employed 5 workers and its core business was the production of fireplaces that were commissioned especially by a major producer of the area.

Today, after more than 30 years, the company employs 32 workers and has two production plants (the original premises in Cinto Caomaggiore and the second production plant - Fuoco Arredo –in the surrounding area) and a show room in Gruaro, another town in the Province of Venice.

Nowadays, Casa Del Caminetto produces custom-made stone furnishing complements for both the national and international market, exporting about 50% of its products. The company works a vast array of top quality marbles, granites and engineered stones and, thanks to most advanced technologies teamed up with the experience of marble masons and master craftsmen, has the ability to perform from the simplest to the most complex type of machining, including inlays for customizing fireplaces and kitchen tops. The in-house technical department works closely with architects and experts in Italy and abroad, dealing directly with the turnkey execution of the projects.

The major key factor of Casa Del Caminetto is its farsighted choice of utilizing technological innovations. Thanks to numerical control machines for sawing, shaping and water jet cutting, the company achieved an unrivalled precision machining complying with the project framework and time agreed with, and can propose leading-edge solutions to architects and buyers.

Customers are followed by a team of technicians with a good knowledge of each single stage of the project: from the on-site inspection, to the selection of ideal solutions and materials, to the installation, in order to make the execution of each project exclusive and customized.

Casa Del Caminetto utilizes 4 Breton machines in its production plants:
- "Smart-Cut S/NC 550 Optima" bridge saw
- "Smart-Cut S/NC 550" bridge saw
-  "Easycut FE 600" bridge saw 
-  "Goldengroove CTV" V-grooving machine

There's no doubt that the most innovative and flexible machine is the "Smart-Cut S/NC 550 Optima" bridge saw that offered the following competitive advantages:

- Minimum servicing by the operator  

- Rapid execution of complex cutting schemes thanks to the vacuum cup integral with the spindle for the automatic movement of workpieces during the different cutting stages

- Automatic optimization driven by the powerful management control software in order to utilize the slab useful surface to the full

- Excellent cutting precision

- Easy to use thanks to the user-friendly software with always new interesting releases that can be downloaded from internet

- Fast and effective technical support

Combicut DJ/NC - CNC Bridgesaw/Waterjet Cutting Center

The Combicut DJNC is a combination saw/waterjet featuring the power, speed, and precision of a well constructed bridgesaw with the advanced layout nesting, and complex shapes possible with a waterjet.
The machine, now in it’s 5th year of production is being offered in several innovative configurations as a single tank standalone unit, dual tank, or with our innovative automatic worktop exchanger.
The standard machine unit is equipped with a 23HP spindle head with FULL SIZE up to 20” diameter blade capacity which is engineered to take maximum advantage of today’s highest speed diamond blades. The spindle is capable of complete 360 degree rotation, thus also optimizing non cutting time.

Combicut DJ/NC offers the possibility of combining or alternating blade or waterjet operations depending on slab layout requirements, which allows for the optimization of cutting operations, resulting in higher material yields, minimised waste, and minimized material handling.

In the standard version, Combicut DJ/NC is supplied with a fixed work table consisting of a steel tank structure fit with “consumable” steel fins with an easy to replace rubber coating that are designed for supporting and providing traction for the slab during machining operations. The control panel is mounted on a swing arm outside of the working area. A remote keypad is also included to be carried inside the working station when needed. It conforms to EC safety standards, and to CSA and UL standards.

The latest version of our “COMBICAM” programming software is an extremely simple, yet powerful application whereby template CAD files are arranged via the mouse over scaled digital photographs of the subject slabs. As the pieces are positioned within the slab photograph a new feature dynamically renders the project in 3D allowing the designer to match the veins and patterns of the material, while taking into account predefined defects & the material removed during cutting.

Once the layout is confirmed, the software then automatically detects and assigns toolpaths to the blade or waterjet, optimizes the sequence of cuts, and assigns feeds and speeds based upon pre-programmed hardness parameters of the material

Breton’s customizable Automatic Worktop Exchange system for the Combicut is a very popular option designed to have the loading and unloading process taking place away from the tank environment in a more safe and ergonomic area while the machine is cutting the subsequent slab. The system is designed to increase the total available cutting time of the machine, therefore offering the shortest cycle time per slab.
The Combicut can dramatically affect per project cycle times and costing by eliminating the need for an experienced sawyer and minimizing secondary shaping operations, while being versatile enough to provide sophisticated customization.
