Revolutionary Water Jet Cutting Countertop Technology: Marbello Adopts VICHOR’s Game-Changing 5-Axis Machine

In a groundbreaking advancement for water jet cutting countertop technology, VICHOR Waterjet is thrilled to announce that Marbello International, New Zealand’s leading producer of high-quality stone products, has integrated our revolutionary 5-axis water jet cutting machine into their countertop production line. This strategic partnership, established in July 2020, marks a significant milestone in the water jet cutting countertop industry, combining Marbello’s commitment to precision craftsmanship with VICHOR’s cutting-edge water jet technology.

At the heart of this technological leap is our WCM-P60II-G4020-A5C model, a 4×2 meter water jet cutting countertop marvel that represents the pinnacle of VICHOR’s innovation in water jet cutting solutions for the countertop industry. This state-of-the-art machine features our exclusive patented A/C 5-Axis Cutting Head, offering unparalleled rotation capabilities that extend to a full horizontal position.

Damon Chan, VICHOR’s Sales Manager, explains the unique advantages of their water jet cutting countertop technology: “Our cutting-edge system revolutionizes countertop production. The A-axis of our cutting head can reach up to 90 degrees, enabling perfect 60° cuts. This is crucial because achieving a 45° cut on a countertop edge actually requires a minimum A-axis angle of 65.53°. This level of flexibility in water jet cutting is a game-changer for countertop manufacturers like Marbello.”

The cutting head in our water jet cutting countertop system is powered by two independent servo motors, rather than conventional stepping motors. This configuration, coupled with advanced software control, ensures high accuracy and precise management in the water jet cutting process, achieving unprecedented precision in countertop fabrication. Our technology not only enhances the quality of countertop production but also significantly improves efficiency, setting new standards in the water jet cutting countertop industry.

Complementing our advanced water jet cutting countertop hardware is the Italian-made ECS CNC System, developed on the EtherCAT bus. This cutting-edge system offers real-time monitoring of servo motors, providing unparalleled performance in water jet cutting for countertop production. It stands as one of the most advanced numerical control systems currently available, offering unprecedented control and efficiency in the water jet cutting countertop production process.

Matt Sheppard, Group Manager at Marbello International, expressed his enthusiasm about the new addition to their water jet cutting countertop production floor in Christchurch.

“The precision and versatility of VICHOR’s water jet cutting system have exceeded our expectations,” Sheppard remarked. “It’s not just a machine; it’s a game-changer for our countertop production process, allowing us to deliver intricate designs while maintaining the highest standards of quality in water jet cutting countertops.”
