Reasons why

1

Superior reliability to boost productivity
2

Structurally robust for durable high precision
3

Large Metalquartz work table for superior stability
4

Fully automated machining with Robocup system
5

Total safety

The robustness and repeatability that was lacking

The basic models

The basic versions of all Breton Winger models, Compact (K20), Wide (K26) and Extreme (K40), feature a muscular 15 kW 12,000 rpm spindle that offers all the power and torque needed to perform the required operations effortlessly, even with very small diameter tools.

One major benefit is gained by opting for the Metalquartz work table, which offers exceptional stability and is not subject to corrosion, unlike conventional steel work tables. Grinding is easy in the extreme, thanks to the composition of the table in a special quartz based composite so the process can be performed using the same tools used by the machine for normal production operations.

High output versions

Winger is also available in high output versions, designed to increase the quantity of parts produced.

Winger Indy is equipped with a dual rotary work table that makes it possible to load/unload the workpieces while machining proceeds, thereby reducing idle times.

Winger Flux, on the other hand, is characterised by its workpiece feeding and clamping system. In this system, the workpieces are moved on a conveyor belt and clamped for machining by means of pneumatic grippers instead of the classic vacuum pods. The machine operates fully independently; workpieces can be changed in less than a minute and sink cutout unloading, if necessary, is performed without interrupting the work cycle.

The basic models available

The Winger range consists mainly of 3 models that differ in terms of worktable size.

The choice of size is a function of the number of workpieces that can be loaded simultaneously, so as to optimise the number of tool changes and set-up times.

Breton Winger Compact (K20)

Winger Compact (K20) is the basic model, capable of operating over a 1,900 x 3740 mm work table.

Technological highlights

The spindle developed by Breton, liquid-cooled with a closed circuit and a trio of large-diameter ceramic bearings, guarantees very high performance with its 15 kW at 12,000 rpm. It is specifically designed to machine natural stone, quartz and ceramics.

/ 01

Dedicated special spindle
The patented Metalquartz work table can be ground directly on the machine using the grinding cycle provided, with no special requirements for disposal of material residues, which can be transferred directly to the slurry recycling system.

/ 02

Metalquartz work table
Vacuum pods automatic positioning system. The spindle automatically picks up the vacuum pods from the specific magazine and places them on the work table in correspondence with the valves and in accordance with the slab and machining layout. The machine’s special vacuum pods do not require electrical connections or piping because clamping occurs by means of the valves incorporated in the work table. In addition to vacuum pods of various sizes, the machine can also be equipped with a retractable pod that allows offcuts to be lowered automatically so that machining can proceed without interrupting the cycle.

/ 03

Robocup system
A 4th axis accessory can be added to use 90° heads for cutting, polishing and drainage grooves.

/ 04

4th axis available
Helical tooth racks which, with respect to spur tooth racks, have higher load bearing capacity, are more durable, and reduce running noise.

/ 05

Helical tooth racks for higher thrust force
The adjustable console equipped with a Siemens terminal with a 24" multi-touch screen and keyboard-mouse surface allows the operator to program the machine easily and quickly.
In addition to the power of the system, the use of Siemens components means being able to rely on ongoing system developments and updates plus the constant availability of spare parts, anywhere in the world.

/ 06

Siemens 24" control panel
ISO 40 tool holder, making it easy to source tools on the market, being the most widely adopted standard.

/ 07

Tool holder ISO 40
Maximum frontal access, with lowered work table and with integral front step. This means the operator can easily access the work area for checks, positioning, and movements.
