Fabrication Equipment

Saw/waterjet technology has been on the rise, being used in more and more shops across the country. Stone World recently asked a group of fabricators who use the technology why they decided to purchase it to begin with, what operations they use it for, and how they have seen the technology change.

SawJet technology, the combination of a saw and abrasive waterjet integrated with a cutting machine, can reduce the time associated with nearly every step in the fabrication process when compared to manual processing.

The Retractable Suction Cups from Blick Industries add further automation to your stone fabrication process.

Each year the Stone Fabricator’s Alliance (SFA), hosted by Tenax, plans a trip to Italy to give a small group of fabricators a new perspective on stone products, the business and what it means to be in the industry.

In recent years, CNC stoneworking centers have proven instrumental in taking a fabrication shop to the next level. The fully automated equipment benefits fabricators by creating more efficiency in the production process. Beyond the machines themselves, equally important are the tooling and accessories used on the CNCs.

Stone World once again presents a roundup of the newest technological advances in equipment, as well as tools and accessories (coming in February), used in stone production.
