Combicut Porn

Gents,

Hope you are well. At least In Miami I got to see some of you. I won't tell anyone about the Hawaiian shirts though. I was amazed how well I got the custom rolled cigars through about five flights this week without any cavity searches...haha.

Key Features of our Combi.

1. Five axis waterjet. (this means the jet also tilts and can be interpolated as five axis) The possibilities will be what you can dream up. Think special edges curved angular cuts etc. Perhaps some mitering on difficult materials.

2. FORK type Head: Where the pivot point of the tilting motor is on a dually supported structure.

3. Enclosure It is our philosophy that this is correct for equipment with rotating heads, as this type of machine can logically when making longitudinal cuts front to back you can have the blade rotating toward the operator, and therefore debris and blade teeth projectile risks.

4. Work Top Exchanger While we will happily make a dual tank machine if one desires, we have had since the beginning an automatic worktop exchanger which allows the loading and unloading outside the environment and therefore not the necessity for the longer travel, keep the accuracy of a single work envelope.

5. Multi Touch is our new user interface which works such as a "smart phone" with access to all information about the job, slab photo and our continued development and future integration with an assortment of software from Breton and other popular softwares from third parties.

6. Software and the possibilities for 3D simple profiles with blade or jet.

7. More...(just ask us)

So below is a video from one of our clients near Lyon, France, whom has a kind of special combicut with a tilting worktop exchanger, which I thought might be food for thought for some of you.

An interesting fact that 2 SFA'ers were of the first delivered in the US.

Gents,

Just a bit of more detail on this job:

MATERIAL: DEKTON (ceramic slab) 2CM

CUTTING TIME: 1H:15M

Note that ceramic is pretty slow going and typically a lot of mitered edge slow feeds with lots of water and the right blades are key.

We have some expertise in this area but I won't advertise here, please just hit me up and I'll send you some links where you can find some info and some info on blades we have for it. We are cutting ceramic with blade on 12mm at about 7' per minute with no chipping.

Thank you for the information Ger. I'm already talking to Mr Mauro, from Brazil, let's hope next year we can post a job done with my combicut.

[Ger Vanderbas]

My Pleasure. Mauro is a pro, he'll take good care of you, I'm sure.

That is very impressive.

Thank you.

I would be interested in discussing the virtues of the Combicut, Dekton and tooling at length with you.
Even Cigars and Cognac if that comes up.
Please feel free to give me a call or PM me.
Thank you.

Gentlemen,

I just wanted to bump this post, as we have some new developments.

In my price list right off the presses, I now can offer a tilting table for loading on both the standalone machine and with the worktop exchanger, therefore eliminating the need to lay the slabs flat on the table, and eliminating the need to pick up the cut pieces flat.

Also we are offering now a 90K PSI Pump for those who want to push the speed faster.

Some new wrinkles to consider if you're in the market.

Also the Multitouch (smartphone like interface) is now standard on the machine and being delivered.

Since this original post there have been over 15 sold and the euro standing at 1.14 puts pricing at 5 year lows.

Let us Know of course if we can be of any assistance.

Cheers to you all.
