New: ViVa 220 PDF Print E-mail

When fabricating kitchen and bathroom countertops, many prefer to use thinner slabs of marble, granite, or engineered stone and then glue a frontal piece to it to increase the thickness of the visible edge.

Next to V-groove unit, already available as an optional for our edge polisher, we are proud to present  the new standalone V-groove machine. This machine creates a double 45 degree angled cut, to obtain two polished slab pieces with groove for insert, to be glued perfectly at 90 degrees.

The V-groove device on the machine consists of 2+2 opposing blades working at 45 degrees.  The blades cut the slab leaving 0,2-0,5 mm of uncut material on the polished side of the slab.  Traditional diamond blades are used in the operation without the need for special milling cutters.  The rotation speed of the blades is adjustable depending on the hardness and thickness of the piece.

The complete operation is controlled by PLC, and the operator has only to set the cutting position which will establish the size of the frontal part to be glued.

The ViVa 220 is completely protected to avoid contact of dirt and water with moving parts.
