More specifically, there will be a Master 45 Plus (5-axis operating head and 4 m work area) which will focus on machining operations for the funeral industry and carving of furnishing elements (fireplaces, etc.).A Master 33 Plus (4-axis operating head and 3 m table) with varied applications to illustrate just how extremely flexible this machine is and last, a Master 30 (3-axis operating head and 3 m table), which will be dedicated to kitchen tops machining. The many demo sessions arranged at the stand will also include machining a black granite kitchen top with a square hole and polished flat edges. Traditionally stone manufacturers had to do this operation by hand but the process has now been fully automated so they can look forward to increasing their quality standards and productivity.
In addition to these CNC machines, a Primus 184 waterjet equipped with a 5-axis cutting head will also be on display. This machine is aimed at companies that intend to take maximum advantage of the potential and precision offered by the water cutting systems. The perfect machining of 45° inclined cuts, which are much used for kitchen top joints and for making top quality inlays are some of the operations where the 5-axis Primus expresses its possibilities at best.
Another advantage is the fact that the control software, ICam, remains the same as for the Master series work centres and so many owners of Intermac CNC machinery already know it well; this also allows for a nearly full integration between both types of machines, without having to duplicate the programmes to go from one machine to the other.
