After almost 30 years on the market, CMS Stone Technology presents the best ever version of brembana speed. The monobloc machining center with 3/4 interpolated axes has been renewed to meet all the needs of professionals in the sector, confirming once again the reliability for which it has always been renowned. Designed to ensure maximum precision and speed, the new version of brembana speed is the ideal solution for contouring, milling, drilling, countersinking, pocketing, bas-reliefs and lettering.

“SARL Bouneou” is a family-run company located in Estigarde, a small French municipality in the Landes department, and was founded to meet the need for restoring buildings and other elements of French heritage, which then expanded to cover all stone fabrication technologies over the last 10 years.

In the south of France, within easy reach of the border of Spain, you can find "Marbrerie Retegui Bergez", a family-run company of marble masons. We are welcomed by Jean Retegui, responsible for measurements, drawings and coordinating production and installation activities.

Often, when you want to achieve the highest possible productivity, you focus on owning the highest performing machine. Owning a top-of-the-range machine is an important step toward excellence, but productivity is also affected by factors unrelated to the machine.

In the world of stone fabrication, productivity is essential and tool release failures can compromise work quality and cause the stonemason to lose money. CMS is committed to offering its customers the most suitable technologies to meet their different needs, so it provides both hydraulic and pneumatic tool release solutions.

In the world of pressure intensifiers for waterjet cutting, CMS stands out by offering the market a unique model featuring a parallel-cylinder design. This type of architecture can maintain an output pressure with a constant signal, without the need to install an additional downstream accumulator, a requirement typical of the opposing-cylinder intensifiers on the market.

Brembana electa is a 3- or 4-axis machining center for machining stone, featuring a unique combination of compactness, large working area and productivity. Brembana electa extends the CMS range of machining centers, while maintaining high quality standards and offering a more compact and simple alternative to the other models in the series.

1. Brembana kartesia is the most advanced CNC machining center with 3/4 interpolated axes for fabricating stone items. It can perform any type of contouring, drilling, milling, engraving and polishing with high precision and execution speed. 

At BF Stone in Fossò, in the province of Venice, we're greeted by Daniele Barbiero, one of the owner-partners. He explains the origin of the brand name: "B" comes from the family surname, Barbiero, and "F" from Formenton.

The CMS brembana kosmos bridge milling machine is ideal for cutting and shaping stone. With its ability to machine slabs and blocks, it allows for the creation of custom pieces, making it ideal for applications such as flooring, gravestones, and stone pavers. 

Are you cutting a slab of natural or synthetic stone to make a kitchen worktop, and after cutting you discover that the two pieces have significantly different thicknesses when you fit them together? The result is completely unacceptable, for both you and your customer! And now what?

Transporting large marble blocks to and from the machining center can be challenging due to their size and weight. Initially, the block is heavy, and after being sculpted, it becomes lighter and more fragile. In the past, the aluminum table sometimes hindered marble workers while processing large blocks, but not anymore.

For the past three years, the Staatliche Berufsschule institute in Eichstätt, Germany has been using two CMS Stone Technology machine models, the Brembana G-Rex and the Brembana Milestone, to train its students. These machines are equipped to teach students how to use them at the institute before they move on to a company to gain practical experience and become specialists in the field of stone machining.

In construction, a ventilated facade is a complex architectural element that plays several important roles, the key ones being: to protect the building against atmospheric agents, especially water infiltration, improve thermal and acoustic insulation, and allow for new, modern expressive options thanks to the combination of different shapes, material, and colors.

CMS has devised a solution that is both simple and innovative to keep the circuit constantly at cutting pressure even when loading and unloading the material to be cut without compromising the conditions of maximum safety for the operator. JetShield is the “glass”-shaped device installed inside the tank that can house the cutting head’s mixing tube safely, becoming a genuine shield that protects the operator should the cutting head accidentally open.

Mistral Optical is a company producing, on average, 50,000 pairs of glasses a month. It is located in Quero Vas in the region of Belluno, global center for eyewear. Working on a pair of glasses is a complex operation that needs to find the perfect balance between expert manpower and automated work done by machines. There are about 30 intermediate stages. Knowing exactly at which stage a product can be found in the various processes, at any given time, is the turning point in the entire production chain; representing real added value in the service offered to one’s clients. Precisely with this in mind, the company decided to connect the numerous CMS machines together, from the latest additions to older versions.

Anyone looking to produce efficiently resents downtimes. Which is why it is understandable that someone would not want to cut a sheet with a bridge cutter and then move the piece to a machining center. Movements, handling, unproductive time.... we need an alternative solution! There is an alternative solution: the flexible CMS brembana formax router, complete with a double worktable, powerful electro-spindle, and suction cup manipulator..

Positioning the suction cups can be a boring, costly exercise, both in terms of the number of staff used and time spent. Spending too much time at this stage of the process means detracting time from production and, as a result, reduces your earnings. Is there some way to speed up the suction cup positioning process? CMS proposes two highly effective systems.

I want to obtain maximum productivity as cheap as possible, where do I begin? From the start: an easy positioning of reference pins! In order to make repeated positionings (an easy start point for frequent use that makes it easy to carry out complex projects) the fastest system is definitely the simple insertion of a tip in a hole.
