Machine of the Month: Prussiani introduces the new Platino Shuttle
Prussiani introduces the new Platino Shuttle -— a revolutionary high-production CNC work center with a double table, optimized to eliminate all downtimes for table setup, programming and unloading. It is a continuous improvement of the CNC technology Prussiani has introduced since 1991 in the stone industry, updated to meet the actual needs of every stone fabricator, according to the manufacturer. Today’s countertop market asks more and more for straight, beveled and eased edges; intricate edge profiles are no longer a big trend. This is forcing fabricators to have quicker (and cheaper) manufacturing processes, and the most expensive portion of contouring is usually taken by time and manpower in setup suction cups and pieces onto the CNC machines tables, programming time and unloading pieces once done. All those time costs, because the machine’s spindles are off and are not producing. For this reason, many fabricators moved back to hand polishing of sinks and edges recently, but still this is not a cost efficient solution in the long term. Platino Shuttle might be the answer.
