Breton ContourFive NC 700 - CNC machining centre with 5 interpolated axis for marble, granite and stone

Hello,
Yesterday I received a nice sequence of photos showing our ContourFive NC 700 - a Breton CNC machining centre with 5 interpolated axis for marble, granite and stone - while making the head of Michelangelo’s David.
The machining operation starts with the rough-machining performed by the disc

and continues with the tool finishing.

Here is the finished piece.

Beautiful, isn’t it?
Please consider that the bench of ContourFive NC 700 allows to process a block sizing up to 3.500x1.970mm in width.
For more INFO about the 5 axis working centre ContourFive NC 700 write to mail@breton.it.
We’ll get back to you promptly.
Thank you for the attention and best regards.
Bye-bye
Sergio Prior

BretonSmartCam MODELLING: Software CAD/CAM for 5 axis bridge saw

BretonSmartCam MODELLING software for the drawing and programming (CAD/CAM) of shaping and cutting centres with up to 5 interpolated axes.
The CAM module allows to carry out the following major functions:
- cutting of slabs with saw blade
- profiling, rough-hewing, trimming and exterior/interior shaping of small blocks with saw blade.

- shaping, profiling, hole drilling, milling and hollowing out with millers or shaped tools

- polishing of tops (even inclined tops)

- 3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts

- bas-reliefs imported from digitized surfaces

- machining of surfaces and solids with saw blade
- machining of 3D curves, surfaces and solids with conventional tools, up to 5 interpolated axes
If paired with the "BretonLathe" optional module, the software allows to carry out machining jobs with up to 6 interpolated axes. 

The CAD module allows to carry out the following major functions: 

- generation of 2D drawings with relevant dimensions.

- determination of the 3D working volume of the piece.

 - determination of any working plane inside the generated 3D volume.

- management of a 2D drawing created on the selected working plane, no matter how it is oriented in the space.

 - import of drawings in DXF and DWG format from external CAD or template detectors.

- positioning of the pieces to be produced directly on the image of the slab, so as to utilize its surface to the full.

- automatic programming and display of the vacuum cup arrangement on the worktable.

- interface with the software of a possible laser projector for arranging the vacuum cups on the worktable.
- interface with the software of a possible bas-relief digitizer.

- generation of 3D models of the pieces.

 - import of surfaces and solid models in IGES, STL, STEP and 3DM format.

 - generation of surfaces and bas-reliefs from image processing.
- generation of 2D drawings of vanity and kitchen tops, whose dimensions are set starting from a basic template.

The 3D SOLID SIMULATION module allows:

- to check any possible tool-piece and/or tool-machine collision

- to assess the raw material remaining after the machining

The software operates in a Windows environment, is intuitive and user-friendly.

N.B. The software features may be limited by the technological and operational characteristics of the machine.N.B.The utilization of this software requires an experienced operator who has a good knowledge of 3D modelling.

BretonSmartCam FRAME: Software CAD/CAM for 5 axis bridge saw

BretonSmartCam FRAME software for the drawing and programming (CAD/CAM) of shaping and cutting centres with up to 5 axes. 

The CAM module allows to carry out the following major functions on work planes with indexed rotary axes: 

- cutting of slabs with saw blade

- profiling, rough-hewing, trimming and exterior/interior shaping of small blocks with saw blade.

- 3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts on flat surfaces.

 

- shaping, profiling, hole drilling, milling and hollowing out with millers or shaped tools.

If paired with the "BretonLathe" optional module, the software also allows:
- to grind a twisted groove on columns generated by the revolution of a 2D profile and finish them, using a saw blade.

 

The CAD module allows to carry out the following major functions:
