Guaranteed gains with the 5-axes machining centre Breton Contourfive + lathe!

Breton Contourfive NC 700
Hello,
If you're looking for a 5-axes machining center with its own lathe to produce columns, capitels, vases, sculpture and architectural pieces for restauration work?
You've come to the right place!
The Breton Contourfive is a machining centre with 5 interpolated axes specifically designed for workshops producing pieces made from natural and engineered stone. 

It is ideal for restauration work.
Breton Contourfive NC 1000

Thanks to its vertical travel of 700/1000/1200mm (27.6/39.4/47.2"), Breton Contourfive is the ideal machine for architectural and funerary art as well as for those processing which require a deep dishing out; it therefore offers the users the possibility of performing different and complex machining operations which would otherwise require several machines:
• shaping utilising the saw blade to get large pieces with complex shape.
shaping and dishing out utilising millers.
contouring utilising shaping tools.
sawing utilising the saw blade.
turning of columns with shaped profiles or machining of columns to create a twisted effect all along the surface (provided the lathe accessory is purchased)
.
Breton Contourfive NC 1200

Today in fact, after putting together some photographic material, I wanted to show you the rich range of applications the Contourfive + lathe offers for natural stone, marble, granite, engineered stone and limestone, etc
.
 

 
 

 

The Breton Contourfive 5 axis CNC stone working centre's lathe can turn workpieces with the following dimensions:
- max. turning diameter = 960mm (37.8") or 1,600mm (63")
- max. workpiece length = 3,200mm (126").





For more information and prices, on the 5-axes stone working center Breton Contourfive, contact mail@breton.it.
We’ll get back to you promptly.
Thank you for the attention and best regards.
Bye-bye

Bonelli Graniti chooses Breton Smart-Cut 800 CNC bridge saw for its production

In the imaginary voyage between the Italian marble and granite trails it's hard to resist stopping off at Bonelli Graniti, in Fiesse in the province of Brescia

Bonelli is a company formed of excellent minds, skills and ideas, operating as a consolidated manufacturer and producing articles of exceptionally creativity since 1972.
To make products like the items shown in the photos clearly requires the skills of master stonemasons, but it also calls for machinery with unique characteristics, like the Breton Smart-Cut 800 bridge saw.

This machine combines the creative goals of Breton and Bonelli Graniti, fine-tuned under the aegis of innovation and exquisitely Italian engineering excellence.
The Brescia company produces superbly sophisticated works in marble and granite in its workshops for both urban furniture and modern architectural projects
.
Its distinctive feature however is its absolute mastery in engraving and funerary art

From granite slabs to finely crafted headstones and bas-reliefs:  Bonelli can exploit the full potential of the Smart-Cut 800, a bridge saw with a rotating head having 5 interpolated axes.

It makes no difference whether we call this machining centre a CNC milling machine or a shaping machine

- the table is fixed and the head rotates from 0° to 380° and can be tilted from 0 to 90°.
- The head can be equipped with ISO 40 attachment tools, allowing the use of mills and core drills
- And it's extremely easy to use thanks to a clear and intuitive human-machine interface.
- Ideal for all types of machining process, both for the production of small batches and large series, and for simple machining steps or highly complex shaping operations.
- The machine's engraving capabilities using a specific engraving tool allow it to produce authentic works of art, and it is precisely in this type of machining operation that Smart-Cut 800 displays its full potential.
The photos speak for themselves.
These complex objects would normally require the use of multiple machines:
- sawing of slabs and blocks to create workpieces, 
- shaping of blocks with a disk cutter to obtain geometrically complex parts 
- shaping and routing with milling tools
.
 

The solution? Breton Smart-Cut 800
