Groove-cutting machine GROOVE 1200

Product overview
GROOVE 1200 is a machine for producing scratching finishes on marble slabs and natural stone. Developed in collaboration with Lupato Meccanica, it is designed to produce more than 60 distinct finishes. The machine features a horizontal shaft fitted with a specially developed tool controlled on 4 axes.

Tooling
ROKER tool (Lupato Meccanica). GROOVE 1200 is equipped with a 1,300 mm ROKER with bits every 2.5 mm. Removing bits and adjusting the 4-axis parameters allows changes in width and finish type. The bits are designed for significant material removal and durability. Inserts can be rotated to use all vertices, extending tool life up to 3×.

Benefits

• Belt speed: up to 8.5 m/min.
• Maximum slab width: 1,250 mm.
• Tool translation: longitudinal movement along the rotation axis with adjustable speed.
• Roller tilt: up to 15° relative to the belt feed direction.
