A head for a bridge processing machine includes a support having a frame loosely connected to a bridge and a shaft extending along a rotation axis and rotatable relative to the frame around the axis, a tool holder assembly supporting a tool to allow processing of an object by the tool and including first constraint means to integrally constrain the tool holder assembly and the shaft, gripping means including a base portion, a gripping device movable relative to the base portion, to define an operating position wherein it engages an object, and an inoperative position, and second constraint means to constrain idly the base portion and the shaft, wherein the gripping means and the tool holder assembly include interface means for blocking reciprocal rotation between the tool holder assembly and the base portion so that the tool holder assembly may drag the gripping means when rotated around the rotation axis.

A slab processing machine includes a work table, a machining head and at least one drive mechanism that drives the machining head over the work table in an X, Y, Z coordinate axis and rotates the machining head for C-axis rotation and A-axis rotation. A controller is connected to the machining head and at least one drive mechanism and operates the machining head to rotate the machining head on the A-axis and bevel cut in the slab a sink hole for a farm sink while the slab is positioned upside down with the finished face down on the vacuum pods.

A slab processing machine includes a work table, a machining head, and at least one drive mechanism. The machining head mounts a circular saw blade for respective cutting of a stone or stone-like slab positioned on the work table with a finished face of the slab down on vacuum pods. A controller operates the machining head to rotate the machining head on the A-axis and bevel cut the slab while positioned upside down with the finished face down on the vacuum pods.

A slab processing machine includes a 5-axis machining head that cuts stone or stone-like slabs positioned on first and second work tables upside down with a finished face down on vacuum pods. First and second slab cut layouts are projected from a laser projector onto the first and second work tables to aid in positioning the first and second slabs on the work tables. The 5-axis machining head cuts the first slab, and subsequent to the first slab being cut, moves the machining head to the second work table and cuts the second slab. While the second slab is being cut, the laser projector projects new locations where cut pieces from the first slab are to be positioned for further processing.

Disclosed is a bridge milling machine for the machining of marble or stone slabs provided with two load-bearing sides between which there is a horizontal bench supporting the slabs to be machined under a multi-axis cutting head. Wherein said horizontal bench is connected to the two sides by a connection means suitable for being easily and quickly dismounted and remounted.

A working head for a cutting machine having a frame, and a cutting disc assembly supported by the frame. The cutting disc assembly having a cutting disc and a first driver rotatably moving the cutting disc around an axis of rotation of the cutting disc. A milling cutter assembly is supported by the frame. The milling cutter assembly has a milling cutter and a second driver that rotatably moves the cutting disc around an axis of rotation of the cutter.

Workbench (1) for supporting and moving articles comprising a frame (22), a support surface (24) able to tilt relative to the frame (22) and pass from an initial horizontal position into a final inclined position, at least one rigid element (30) hinged with the frame (22) at a pivoting point (P) and having an end portion (36) hinged with the surface (24) and at least one first actuator (44) configured to raise and rotate the surface (24) into an intermediate inclined position. The element (30) is shaped as a rocker arm with the pivoting point (P) arranged between a first wing (32) and a second wing (34) and movement means (54) are provided for rotation of the rocker arm (30) about an axis (X2) so as to move the surface (24) from the intermediate position into the final inclined position. The first actuator (44) comprises a first end (46) hinged with the rocker arm (30) and a second end (48) hinged with the support surface (24).

A slab processing machine includes a work table, a machining head, and at least one drive mechanism. The machining head mounts a circular saw blade for respective cutting of a stone or stone-like slab positioned on the work table with a finished face of the slab down on vacuum pods. A controller operates the machining head to rotate the machining head on the A-axis and bevel cut the slab while positioned upside down with the finished face down on the vacuum pods.

A system processes a stone slab having a top polished face and bottom surface. An imaging device receives and displays a digital image of the top polished face of the slab. A controller overlays a slab cut layout on the digital image of the top polished face, generates a digital slab layout file containing digital data representative of the top polished face and its slab cut layout referenced to the top end of adhered reference markers, mirror images the digital slab layout file, and projects the mirror imaged locations of the reference markers to facilitate alignment of the bottom ends of the adhered laser markers with the respective projected reference marker locations when the slab is upside down for cutting in a slab cutting position.
