Breton FUEGO 10 axis - Shaping machine


How beautiful! 
It's hard to believe that workpieces with such a complex shape can be manufactured, all the more so if you consider they are produced by a MACHINE!



I'm not kidding, the name of the machine at issue is
   
Breton FUEGO Multiaxis

The evolution of programming techniques and numerical controls was a turning point for the diamond wire machines used to profile architectural components since it rather simplified the way of producing precious and value-added stone workpieces.


With almost 30 years of experience in the usage of numerical controls, Breton was the only company in the world with the ability to put such experience at the customers' disposal through the design of a ground-breaking, high-performance multi-axis wire machine.


Here you can see the FUEGO of OSCAR DAFFE.

That's how FUEGO Multiaxis was born, a machine for cutting blocks and billets with a diamond wire, ideal for producing cylindrical/tapered columns, casings for columns, shaped and rough-hewed components for interior decoration (requiring 4 geometrical axes: "Z" vertical axis, wire inclination angle, linear displacement of the block-holding cart and rotation of the block-holding cart) very precisely and easily thanks to its 8 interpolated axes to which 2 axes with motorized positioning are added.




Here you can see the FUEGO of SAVEMA.


The most critical issue in this type of machines is often connected to the wire inclination, in fact large inclination angles can be achieved only going well below the ground level.



Breton solved this problem pretty well by placing a cart with 2 pulleys 1.000 mm in diameter on each column.


The two carts slide independently, therefore it is possible to incline the wire going less than 30 cm below the ground level.

Breton MIRAGE 6 – a Formula 1 “racing head” for levelling granite slabs.

Our CUSTOMERS say so!

BIG, Cereser and Cometti companies have something in common, which is not strictly related to their local identity: these three enterprises from Verona chose the Breton head "Mirage" for levelling granite slabs.
The core business of Big Graniti Srl is sawing granite blocks, polishing slabs and executing several other types of granite processing.
Cereser Marmi Spa is specialized in the selection and selling of marble and granite and was established fifty years ago by Mr. Gian Luigi Cereser.
Cometti Srl, established in 1982 by Mr. Francesco Cometti, is totally committed to granite polishing and, same as other enterprises, has always tried to be in the forefront of the granite honing, polishing and resin-treating technology.
The constant quest for innovation led these companies to install a head "Mirage" (Breton latest product) on their polishing machines Levibreton.   


Mirage is a special head featuring a satellite rotation speed of 30m/s (2.800 rpm) and a low head rotation speed (250 rpm). 
This head guarantees the ideal working speed for each single diamond tool, which leads to a higher removal capacity and longer service life.
The key factors of this groundbreaking satellite head are clearly explained by its possessors.
1. SPEED
"When I was offered to test Mirage, I took delivery of the head with a 18,5 kW motor and a kit for adding the counter pressure to the spindle already prearranged for receiving it" says Marco Poiesi, CEO of BIG GRANITI Srl

"Based on tests carried out at Breton R&D Dept., they told me the head could only work with counter pressure due to its weight and removal capacity. Mirage removed so much material that, after the first starting, I asked for a 22 kW motor (instead of 18,5 kW as suggested) in order to use high working pressures as well. I ascertained a levelling capacity on the slab surface that was above and beyond that of the well-known heads SG-8".



2. DOUBLE SERVICE LIFE WITH RESPECT TO THE HEADS WITH OSCILLATING BRICKS
"Something worthy of attention? The service life of the diamond tool: indeed, it is proving to be longer than expected" adds Marco Poiesi from BIG.

3. DOUBLE REMOVAL CAPACITY
"Both the removal and levelling capacity of Mirage far exceed those of any other head produced until this time; as a matter of fact, we don't use it on very soft materials because we fear going below the material predetermined thickness" acknowledges Domenico Cereser from Cereser Marmi Spa.


4. LEVELLING OF UNDULATIONS AND PRODUCTIVITY
"Mirage surprised us: particularly ugly slabs that had to be passed twice through the machine, need just one passage thanks to this new head" says Francesco Cometti from Cometti Srl. "Processing standard slabs, the polishing machine has a productivity 10% higher than that of machines equipped with heads SG-8, that’s why I've asked Breton to install a second head  Mirage”.


Thanks to BIG, Cereser e Cometti for their positive consideration.
Thanks to Marmo Macchine INTERNATIONAL magazine for case history.

Breton SHINE MASTER – Reflex meter (patented)

AN ABSOLUTE FIRST

Breton previews an invention with great practical impact: a device for measuring automatically the surface gloss degree while the slab is moving.

It has been designed for natural and composite stone slabs.
 
SHINE MASTER measures the slab surface gloss through a reflection system. The gloss order of magnitude detected by the device (quantity of B-reflex) is processed by the software and shown on the display thus representing a qualitative control of the outgoing slabs. 

An alarm warns the operator when the B-reflex detected do not fall within the preset range and the display shows through colours with different intensities the spots of the surface where the gloss does not conform to the preset standard.
