Wilson Industrial Electric, Inc. celebrates 40 years of innovative automation for the stone industry. Here at Wilson Industrial Electric, we produce a variety of stone processing equipment including: Blade Saws, Wire Saws, Cut Off Saws, Rip Saws, Polishers, Conveyor Lines and Turntables.
The Breton Combi is a simple to install, yet full feature Waterjet/blade combination five axis saw that is ideal for both low and high production and especially complicated works such as miter cutting.
The multifunction CNC is an ultimate multitasking and multi-capacity device that makes the fabrication process more efficient and reduces wastage, which will eventually increase the bottom line.
Rick Self, the business development head for Terminator, discusses the company’s business changes in the past year, how they are moving forward and how automation can assist shops
Rick Self started his path in the stone industry in 1999 with an impulsive purchase of a Flow Waterjet – no knowledge, no customers, no contacts, no real thought going in.
Recently, Stone World and the Natural Stone Institute held a virtual Stone Summit to discuss ways for fabricators to investigate products that are new to their process, including tooling equipment and digital software, as well as methods to develop focused questions that will help ensure the product or machine they review will perform as anticipated and provide the expected results
Technology continues to advance and play an important role in many of our daily lives. For fabricators in the stone business, each year there are more digital and automated products introduced to the marketplace, which can contribute to a shop’s overall efficiency and production.
The past couple of decades have seen revolutionary changes in the countertop industry. The shift to CNC equipment has made the impossible possible, and in a fraction of the time and cost. The pace of change today is no less staggering, and it’s important not only to understand what’s changing, but to also understand the implications of that change.
Stone World sits down with Egon Hinss, national sales manager of Breton USA, to discuss the process of transitioning to a fully or semi-automated fabrication shop
As labor markets continue to dwindle and the need to run a safer shop is more important than ever before, Egon Hinss, the national sales manager of Breton USA, explains how fabricators can start the automation process in their shop. Hinss has 20 years of experience in the industry and has been with Breton for the past six years.
