SAVEMA choses Breton

Savema, a leading facility in Carrara, well-known and highly appreciated worldwide in the field of architecture and stone materials.
Breton, the world leader in the production of machines and plants for stone processing.

Luigi Piacentini of SAVEMA and Dario Toncelli of BRETON

After many years, Breton and Savema resume their cooperation. The owners of the two companies have recently signed an agreement for the supply of an innovative and high-tech machine, Breton Fuego Multiaxis, a shaping machine using diamond wires and with 8 interpolated axes capability.
 

Savema was established in 1975 by the Piacentini and Volterrani families and soon became one of the leading companies worldwide for the production, trade and supply of marble, granite and ornamental stones.

Savema’s core business is the production of architectural stone components (for both interior and exterior applications) designed for sizeable projects throughout the world, including those with a high artistic content, as well as the trade of marble, granite, onyx, travertine and stone slabs for international wholesalers and dealers.

This most innovative machine complements the three Bidese shaping wire machines that have been working for many years at Savema’s production plant to their complete satisfaction.  For those who don’t know, Breton acquired Bidese line of business concerning the production of diamond wire machines in 2011.

Savema’s fleet will therefore be complemented by a high-performance multi-axis machine, which employs new programming and numerical control techniques and whose key factor is innovation. Fuego will enable the company to easily produce valuable and extremely complex workpieces.

Savema SpA

“Savema meets the requirements of a more and more demanding architectural market every day - commented Dario Toncelli, who owns Breton together with his brother, in the picture with Luigi Piacentini, Savema’s owner - Our 30 years of experience in the use of numerical controls enabled us to develop a ground-breaking and high-tech machine for cutting blocks and billets, ideal for producing cylindrical/tapered columns, casing for columns, shaped and rough-hewed components for interior decoration and extremely complex elements – something unattainable until today!”
 

Breton Fuego Multiaxis also faces machining jobs requiring 4 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.
 

Breton SpA

Thanks to the technical solutions adopted for Breton Fuego Multiaxis, even one of the greatest problems this type of machines has to deal with, has been overcome: the wire inclination that usually compels to go well below the ground level in order to achieve sizeable inclination angles. 
Breton solved this problem pretty well by placing a cart with 2 pulleys 1.000 mm in diameter on each column while the two carts move independently. In this way, it is possible for Breton Fuego Multiaxis to reach considerable inclination angles going only 30 cm below the ground level.

Thanks for your attention.

BESTWIRE DUO - Block squaring system

System used to square blocks (two parallel sides of the block) or cut slabs (even thick slabs).

The squaring system consists of two single-wire machines placed parallel to each other, one of which is fixed (BESTWIRE) and the other moves on rails with motorized traverse (BESTWIRE 4WD).
The movement of the mobile single-wire machine is by two inverter controlled asynchronous motors, which transmit the motion (through reduction gears) to pinions meshing racks that are fixed to the rails.

Machine structure and mechanisms
Handy-designed and functional structure made of heat treated,arc-welded steel, ensuring the required stiffness of the system and cutting precision of the machine.

Two opposite carts containing the components for the wire motion, slide vertically along the machine columns by means of screw/nut screw mechanisms, thus moving the wire up and down.

The wire is rotated by a driving pulley with a diameter of 1.000 mm through an inverter controlled asynchronous motor that optimizes the wire peripheral speed according to the material to be sawn.   
A driven pulley with the same diameter is constantly kept under tension by a pneumatic cylinder, thus giving the wire the ideal tension.
The mechanism is completed by two independent driven pulleys with the same diameter, and two wire-driving pulleys installed next to the point where the wire gets into, and comes out from, the block to be sawn.
Electrical cabinet and control console with colour touch-screen.

Safety measures
a special sensor, connected to the stretching cylinder, detects any possible breakage of the wire and stops the machine instantly.
