As a professional manufacturer specializing in stone processing equipment, Fujian Hualong Machinery Co., Ltd. has developed its 5-axis bridge cutting machine specifically for stone countertop processing. This machine precisely addresses the pain points of traditional equipment in shaping, precision, and efficiency, providing customized processing solutions for stone countertop enterprises. It is well-suited for countertop applications in home decoration, hotel projects, and high-end custom furniture.
Stone countertop processing often involves complex processes such as irregular edges, curved surfaces, and embedded sink holes. Leveraging flexible 5-axis linkage technology, Hualong's 5-axis bridge cutting machine overcomes the limitations of traditional 3-axis equipment:
-
It can complete the processing of customized shapes (e.g., curved countertops, L-shaped irregular countertops, and wavy-edged countertops) in one operation, eliminating the need for process splitting. This is particularly ideal for high-end home decoration that requires "seamless one-piece stone countertops," avoiding aesthetic and functional issues caused by splicing seams.
-
For cutting common sink holes and stove holes on countertops, the machine enables precise multi-angle edge chamfering and arc transitions without subsequent manual grinding. This reduces process handoffs and improves the efficiency of mass-producing irregular countertops.
Stone countertops demand strict dimensional accuracy and edge flatness. Hualong ensures processing precision through high-quality core components and advanced software algorithms:
-
Equipped with imported high-precision guide rails and a servo drive system, combined with a stone-processing-specific error compensation algorithm, the machine achieves a cutting dimensional accuracy of ±0.1mm and an edge straightness error of ≤0.05mm/m. This prevents installation gaps caused by dimensional deviations.
-
Cutting parameters and tool adaptation plans are optimized for stones of different hardness (e.g., marble and granite), minimizing edge chipping and corner damage. It also ensures the base precision of countertops before polishing, reducing subsequent grinding costs.
Stone countertop enterprises often face pressure to deliver large batch engineering orders. Hualong's 5-axis bridge cutting machine enhances processing efficiency through automated and integrated design:
-
Integrated with an automatic loading/unloading system and countertop-specific nesting software, it can continuously cut multiple standard countertops. The processing time per countertop is reduced by over 40% compared to traditional equipment, meeting the mass production needs of engineering orders.
-
No repeated workpiece clamping adjustments are required. A single machine can handle countertop cutting, hole drilling, and edge shaping simultaneously, replacing the traditional combination of multiple machines for "cutting + drilling." This reduces countertop damage during handling and shortens the production cycle.
In stone countertop processing, the cost of waste for precious materials (e.g., marble and rock slabs) is significant. Hualong's equipment maximizes material savings through intelligent optimization:
-
The countertop-specific nesting software automatically optimizes sheet nesting based on order dimensions, increasing the utilization rate of leftover materials by over 25% and significantly reducing waste of precious stones.
-
Precise cutting path planning prevents countertop scrapping due to dimensional errors. Especially for customized irregular countertops, the finished product qualification rate is raised to over 98%, lowering the cost of secondary material procurement.
