General Benefits of Using a Waterjet in Your Stone Fabrication Business

Increases Material Yield by 10 to 20%

BACA Systems’ Robo SawJet & Robo SawJet M Series leverage advanced waterjet technology to eliminate blade overtravel, enabling more countertops to be cut out of each slab. This Tetris-like cutting method ensures optimal slab utilization, helping fabricators maximize yield and reduce waste. By eliminating blade overtravel, you can produce the highest number of countertop parts from each slab or bundle. Additionally, when smaller parts are needed but don’t fit on the initial slab(s), the precision of the waterjet minimizes the need to purchase additional slabs—saving both time and money.

Saves 3 to 4 Hours of Labor Per Slab

The Robo SawJet and Robo SawJet M Series combine a powerful 26-HP saw motor with a 50-HP waterjet to deliver unmatched precision for intricate cuts. The 50-HP waterjet effortlessly handles non-linear cuts like sinks, arcs, and radii during the sawing process. Pre-shaping these curved cuts during sawing reduces downstream labor requirements and or shortens the cycle time of CNC routers. This streamlined process saves fabricators 3 to 4 hours of labor per slab while enhancing overall efficiency.

Increases CNC Router Output by 30%

Fabricators utilizing CNC routers can achieve a 30% increase in output by leveraging the Robo SawJet or Robo SawJet M Series for pre-shaping non-linear cuts, such as sinks and arcs. The waterjet technology allows CNC routers to focus exclusively on edging and polishing, improving both speed and productivity. Dual-table SawJet systems, like the M Series, are capable of feeding 3 to 4 CNC routers, making it essential for optimizing CNC router capacity. Additionally, this approach extends the lifespan of CNC router spindles by eliminating the side-load stress associated with sink shaping, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring long-term efficiency.
