From the very beginning, the owners of Concepts Instile -- Uday Patel and Mahesh Patel -- sought to equip the fabrication shop with the latest in computerized stoneworking machinery. And with this in mind, they purchased a Maxima CNC stoneworking center from CMS/Brembana.
The Maxima is equipped with four axes, and it can perform a variety of functions, including routing, profiling, milling, polishing, inlaying, engraving and bas-reliefs. The machine can process slabs as well as cubic pieces, due to a Z-axis (vertical) stroke of 400 mm. Other features include an X-axis stroke of 3,600 mm and a Y-axis stroke of 3,000 mm. The fourth "C" axis, which was added as an option, has a rotation of 360 degrees.
