Levibreton EUREKA cuts the Scrap

The Levibreton EUREKA is designed to incorporate a series of MIRAGE heads and SG8 oscillating brick heads..

The MIRAGE head is equipped with 6 inclined axis tapered diamond tools offering exceptionally high removal rates. The head rotates at low speed (240 rpm), while the diamond discs spin at 2,800 rpm, allowing the tools to reach a peripheral velocity of 30 m/s: the optimal speed for granite machining
.

The MIRAGE head operates under pneumatic pressure and is assisted by a back-pressure system, an inverter and a mechatronic system responsible for defining the maximum down feed of the head.
Establishing the machining position and operating the MIRAGE heads at their maximum material removal rate, Levibreton EUREKA calibrates slabs to the required thickness.

Calibrating functions aside, the MIRAGE heads work also as polishing heads and the downstream SG8 oscillating heads complete the levelling and polishing operations.
Levibreton EUREKA CUTS THE SCRAP... one machine to perform completely independent machining operations:
- CALIBRATING,
- LEVELLING,
- POLISHING.
For info and price of Levibreton EUREKA write to mail@breton.it.
We’ll get back to you promptly.
Well, that’s all for today, thanks for your attention.

We have bought the FUEGO Multiaxis.

Stop the presses: new architectural universe discovered thanks to the 10 axes of FUEGO Multiaxis.



Fuego Multiaxis is the new Breton machine for cutting blocks and billets using a diamond wire. The Fuego Multiaxis is ideal for producing cylindrical/tapered columns, casings for columns, shaped and rough-hewed components for interior decoration through the interpolation of up to 10 axes. 

We have bought the FUEGO Multiaxis!


Kienesberger Steinmetzmeister, a modern and efficient enterprise, always with an eye to the future and innovation, equipped with a Fuego Multiaxis, a Shapemill and a Contourbreton NC160, always attentive to the needs of the sector.


"When we decided to buy a numerical control wire saw, we thought of a machine that would have allowed us to produce large-size, but relatively simple architectural elements: in fact, the wire machines which are capable of interpolating various axes and realizing the more complex geometries we were thinking of, usually impose size restrictions. 
Because of this compromise, we found it very difficult to decide whether buying or not.When we talked to Breton about our ideas, they presented us ”Fuego Multiaxis”, an innovating machine capable of realizing very complex geometries with no restrictions on the size of pieces to be produced.
For some months now we have been using this machine, and the architects, both Belgian and non-Belgian, already know that at Oscar Daffe’s there is a new machine and ask us whether we can manufacture the complex shapes they had conceived.
And many times we can answer: “Yes, we can with our
Fuego Multiaxis!”



"I wanted this machine to meet the increasing demand for special shaped components.
With
Fuego Multiaxis I solved cutting difficulties on large size pieces.
In addition, with
Fuego’s eight interpolated axes I can create a limitless variety of contours.
I’m now convinced that I made a smart and highly productive choice on behalf of the company for which I act
".
Ing. Fiaschi


"My company produces shaped marble components for urban furniture, columns, solid cornices, bannisters for spiral staircases, etc.
To perform these operations I was looking for a diamond wire shaping machine with multiple controlled axes.
I found everything I was looking for in
Fuego Multiaxis, which proved to be perfect for my needs.
With
Fuego Multiaxis I’m sure I’ve found the right solution for the current and future machining requirements in my business".

Sculpture "Nautilus" produced by KIENESBERGER's "FUEGO" at the 50th Marmomacc 2015.


A masterpiece exhibited in the middle of Breton's stand during the 50th Marmomacc in Verona.

Good morning everybody,
For those who were unable to attend "Marmomacc", the International Show of Stone, Design and Technologies that was held in Verona last week, I just want to show this truly incredible sculpture!
In the middle of Breton's stand, under the FUEGO MULTIAXIS, the profiling and shaping machine  with 10 controlled axes, there was on display a beautiful Nautilus made in marble of the Val Passiria from the Company Kienesberger  Steinmetzmeister of Grieskirchen (Austria), true masters in working stone!
Here below a short sequence of the activities highlighting the details of the cutting through diamond wire.
 




Here below a short video emphasizing the details in the processing of septa; the very thin walls which split the membranes of the shellfish.



What else can we say?
Just that behind a FANTASTIC machine – Breton FUEGO MULTIAXIS - there are always STONE MASTERS!

Congratulations to Kienesberger Steinmetzmeister and Breton from both our side and the President of Veneto Region, Mr. Luca Zaia, who asked to be photographed together with the sculpture!
That's all for today. 
Well, that’s all for today, thanks for your attention.

BM for Breton - Diamond-bladed saw for marble with block raising

The “BM FOR BRETON
diamond gangsaw for sawing blocks of marble or other limestones, with a system that lifts the block as it’s sawn.

Entirely  made and assembled in Italy with european  parts and first-rate international components. 

THE FAMOUS BM GANGSAW, CUSTOM-BUILT FOR BRETON:
A tried and tested
BM gangsaw, custom built by BM to meet Breton’s own specifications.


DOUBLE WARRANTY:
The Warranty and After Sale Service are provided directly by Breton to the end user, with the back-up of BM.


THE MOST WIDELY-USED MARBLE GANGSAW IN THE WORLD:
Thousands of BM gangsaws have been built and it is without a doubt the most widely used gangsaw in the world.



UNBEATABLE RELIABILIT Y, IT NEEDS VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE:
The BM gangsaw has made its name for unbeatable reliability and low maintenance as it adopts traditional and time tested mechanical solutions such as the kinematic blade frame traversing system, consisting of straight ar ticu- lated guides; a strong and simple solution.


FAST, PRECISE SAWING:
Precise sawing thanks to the rigidity and well sized steel frame with 4 columns that constantly guide the block lifter platform as it rises. Sawing is fast thanks to the 800 mm saw travel running at 90 strokes per minute and the high-mass, large diameter flywheel that adjusts the driving force.


THE BLOCK-LIFTER PLATFORM
The platform on which the block trolley rests during sawing is placed between four columns and is lifted by 4 x 90 mm diameter worm screws, with a 12 mm trapezoidal thread.
The four worm screws are fastened to the platform. The platform is lifted through the rotation of the lead screw nuts fitted on the top of the column, in a properly protected position. The nuts are turned by a system of bevel gears, drive shafts and inver ter motor


This special solutions extends the service life of the lead screw nuts. The platform moves precisely up on 4 slides (2 flat slides and 2 prismatic slides) fixed to the columns and plated with a thick coat of chrome to guarantee a long working life.

The horizontal level of the platform is constantly checked by a device that stops the gangsaw if the platform tilts.
  
SLIDING BLADE HOLDER
The blade holder is made of steel plates joined solidly together, each of which has a section of 800 x 600 mm, and slides on straight ar ticulated guides that are practi- cally maintenance free.
FLY WHEEL UNIT
The unit weighs 12 tons and consists of a cast iron flywheel, a 280 mm diameter flywheel drive shaft made of high tensile steel and two cast iron supports with adjustable roller bearings inside.

The 3,300 mm diameter flywheel weighs 8 tons, and guarantees a constant cutting speed, thanks to the high ratio between the inertia of the rotating masses and the inertia of the masses with an alternating movement.

The two bearings of the flywheel shaft are held by two carriers designed to make them easy to check, adjust or replace the bearings, without having to demolish the reinforced concrete foundations.
The 110 kW motor drives the unit through seven 480 mm belts with a low friction coefficient.
A hydraulic joint on the motor drive shaft, assists gangsaw start-up and reduces energy consumption.

THE MOST RELIABLE SYSTEM WITH TWO CONNECTING RODS

The two cranks on the flywheel drive two connecting rods which transfer the movement to the blade holder. The connecting rods are made out of a machined steel monobloc and are suppor ted by bearings running in an oil bath.

The system with two connecting rods provides clear and time tested advantages over a single connecting rod system:
• All the power and the mechanical thrust transferred to the blade holder are shared between two connecting rods instead of just one.
• The two connecting rods fixed to the ends of the blade holder help guarantee the movement, that remains per fectly rectilinear on the guides without any deviation.

SIMPLE  TO USE 
A circuit of steel gangways with railings and access steps makes it easy for operators to get around the machine. The control panel has a color touch-screen, which is used to program the machine and control the work phases.

ELECTRONIC PROGRAM:
An optional electronic program can also be supplied, which automatically adjusts the downfeed on the basis of the type of material being sawn. This system automatically regulates the downfeed speed according to the electrical power absorbed, allows the operator to set different downfeeds based on the block heights and also set the heights where the machine stops for preparing the wedges.


AUTOMATIC STOP SYSTEM AND SLAB BREAK SENSORS:
An automatic quick stop system is available as an optional feature. The system powers the motor with reverse current, slowing it down up to a standstill in 20 seconds.
The quick stop system is activated by the sensors which checks the slab hasn’t broken while being sawn.

For info and price of BM for Breton marble gang saw write to mail@breton.it.
We’ll get back to you promptly.
Well, that’s all for today, thanks for your attention.
