Convergence of machines for stone and glass
The arrival of industrial synthetic materials on the stone market has surprising consequences on the machinery market. In fact, we see appearing from certain suppliers who are both on the glass and stone market on the stone machinery market, machines that were once exclusively used on the glass market.
Mainly for two reasons.
1 / These new materials are calibrated in thickness.
So we see machines appearing for polishing the edge (Bavelloni, Intermac, Bovone) similar to those used for glass (rectilinear, double edger).
The gain is much better productivity for running in and polishing the edge.
2 / Some materials are based on glass
We are witnessing the arrival of cutting systems from glass much more productive and easy to use (cutting tables, at Bavelloni, Intermac ...)
