Monobloc 5 axis disc milling and cutting centre combined with a waterjet cutting system

The possibility of combining disc cutting processes with waterjet cutting, together with elements such as on-board spindle vacuum cups, bridge camera and tilting table, make Combi the most advanced cutting centre for the creation of kitchen tops, vanity tops and claddings.

Breton Combi

Reasons why

1

It combines disc cutting, waterjet cutting and Rocket Tool system
2

Smart cutting process for the maximum productivity
3

Rigid monobloc structure with integral tilting table
4

Bridge mounted digital camera
5

Vast range of accessories for all needs

The robustness and versatility that were lacking

Speed is meaningless without control

Combi’s strength is that it makes it possible to use disc cutting and waterjet cutting without having to move the slab and to choose the best technology in terms of efficiency, depending on the operation to be performed. The machine will therefore opt for disc cutting, more economical, when possible, and switch to waterjet technology in all other cases. This serves to minimise the production of scrap and execute work processes more in less time and hence at lower cost. It is also possible to create inclined planes without having to mill the workpiece surface but merely by exploiting variable angle waterjet cutting with continuous touch probing performed by the Miterwave Touch system.

Major advantages for higher productivity also derive from the spindle on-board vacuum cups that make it possible to move the pieces to use the disc cutting function. In addition, installing the Rocket Tool system – an additional motor spindle that can reach up to 14,000 rpm, on which to mount end cutters or core drill bits – allows the execution of through holes, blind holes, milled recesses and rebates.

Technological highlights

Combi is delivered pre-assembled with prewired electrical cabinet. The entire assembly and start-up phase can be completed in 5 days. Combi can be easily relocated on the customer's site to accommodate possible changes to the production layout.

/ 01

Designed for delivery fully assembled
The exclusive slab surface 0.1 mm reading device interacts with the machine numerical controller in real time and corrects all axis positions dynamically so that the material is always cut at the correct angle with respect to the surface. This system allows perfect mitre cuts also on low thickness and imperfectly flat material.

/ 02

Miterwave Touch system for perfect inclined cuts
Combi is equipped with a device to control the flow of abrasive to mix during waterjet cutting, avoiding slab breakages.

/ 03

Abrasive flow control device
The work table is composed of galvanised steel blades covered with high friction coefficient rubber profiles to increase grip of the slab during the cutting phase. The rubber profiles are easily replaced to ensure a constantly perfect cutting surface, especially important when working on low thickness slabs.

/ 04

Replaceable high grip rubber profiles
The exclusive tilting work table with dual independent articulations makes it possible to bring the lower edge very close to the floor when in the tilted position, thus making slab loading operations simple and safe. The special 4-piston system also allows insertion of the slab very close to the water surface, inside the tank and not merely above it, in such a way as to contain overspray.

/ 05

Articulated tilting table
Breton patent. The machine is intrinsically more accurate when joining dual technology cuts: the disc cut is in line with the waterjet cut because their coordinates are defined by the same positioning operation.

/ 06

Waterjet nozzle on the same axis as the disc
The machine can be equipped with the high speed Rocket Tool spindle accessory, which makes it possible to perform milling operations with end cutters or finger bits.

/ 07

Optional Rocket Tool spindle
Labelling of finished parts before cutting aids traceability of parts throughout the entire production chain.

/ 08

Optional Label PRO printer
