A high-power slurry vacuum cart is well suited to collect and contain any slurry or wet residue produced through concrete and other surface processing operations. A multi-horsepower propane engine and propane tank are mounted on a mobile frame, along with a suction pump powered by the propane engine. A slurry containment vessel mounted on the frame has an input in communication with a squeegee and an output coupled to the suction pump. The squeegee may be adapted for floor contact to collect slurry for transfer to the slurry containment tank. The suction pump is directly coupled to the propane engine through a universal joint, thereby obviating the use of belts, chains or pulleys. The output of the pump may optionally be used as an air blower for surface drying, or the like, as well as use as an air blower to assist in emptying the slurry containment tank.

An apparatus for cutting slab material comprising a working table to support the slabs to be cut during working; a working unit comprising disk cutting means and water-jet cutting means; and a unit for moving the working unit above the working table. The movement unit comprises a horizontal translation unit to move the working unit along two directions parallel to the working table and perpendicular to each other; a vertical translation unit to move the working unit along a direction perpendicular to the working table; a first rotation unit to rotate the working unit about a first axis, vertical and substantially perpendicular to the working table; and a second rotation unit to rotate the working unit about a second axis, inclined with respect to the first axis. Said disk cutting means and water-jet cutting means are integral and therefore the second rotation unit rotates simultaneously with the said cutting means.

Stone fabrication machine and movement system for granite and quartz. The industry has always faced three challenges. 1) Moving a material that is extremely heavy; possibly weighing up to 1200 lbs. 2) not damaging material when moving, processing and installing. 3) Safety. It is the Cut and Polish Complete Fabrication System that installed, with utilities, water, electric, and air are also installed, you can fabricate from start to finish. You provide a forklift and utilities and our fabrication system will do the rest. This is new way to fabricate in two ways using only one person: only moving the piece twice-once to lay on the tables and second loading for delivery. Currently pieces are moved 3 to 6 times averaging 4, meaning taking 2 to 3 fabricators. Utilities distributed throughout machine for cutting and a separate utility bar for operator. This machine becomes the hub of entire shop.

Machine tool for cutting and engraving slabs, including a support bench for supporting the slabs to be cut and/or engraved, at least one cutting disc for cutting the slabs mounted on a spindle, at least one engraving tool for engraving the slabs, and movement means for moving the at least one cutting disc and at least one engraving tool relative to the bench supporting the slabs. The at least one cutting disc and the at least one engraving tool are both mounted on a support head, the support head being movable relative to the support bench by means of the movement means.

A system for performing interactions within a physical environment including a robot base that undergoes movement relative to the environment, a robot arm mounted to the robot base, the robot arm including an end effector mounted thereon and a tracking system that measures a robot base position indicative of a position of the robot base relative to the environment. A control system acquires an indication of an end effector destination, determines a reference robot base position, calculates an end effector path extending to the end effector destination and repeatedly determines a current robot base position using signals from the tracking system, calculates a correction based on the current robot base position, the correction being indicative of a path modification, and controls the robot arm in accordance with the correction to move the end effector towards the end effector destination.
