Machines are now able to handle multiple tasks, eliminating the need to spend a fortune on additional bulky equipment. Some popular models have even been equipped with computers so they can virtually complete tasks on their own. Removing the limitations once placed on stoneworkers, technology has also succeeded in increasing production for all sizes of stone operations. New machines and tools have created new opportunities for fabricators, and an increase in technological advances has led to an increase in business within the stone industry.
The Zonato FPZ 700 is a single-blade machine designed to ensure sturdiness, cutting precision and reliability for low running costs and high productivity, according to the manufacturer. Fully automatic electro-mechanical drivers operate each machine axis, and accident-prevention housing protects all guideways. Fitted with a turnable workbench, the machine carries out single-pass cutting, although a multi-pass cutting option is available. The machine can also be fitted with an optional coping device, a pneumatic piston locking system, and a laser beam.
