The development of the world stone processing industry has always relied on the advancement of tool technology. This is one of the characteristics of the stone industry. In the middle of the last century, stone machinery production and processing equipment was rapidly developed in Germany, France, Spain and other European countries, promoting the stone processing industry. In the late 1980s, with the advantage of cheap and high quality, Italy became a developed country in the world of stone machinery manufacturing. Later, in Asia, Japan, Taiwan, and mainland China also created many excellent stone equipment companies. Stone machinery includes stone mining machinery, stone processing machinery, stone decoration machinery, stone maintenance machinery, stone processing tools, stone detection machinery, etc. So far, stone processing complete line equipment, tombstone processing equipment, special-shaped processing equipment, etc. have been quite The level of automation; the rapid popularity and application of stone machinery has played a crucial role in the growth of the Chinese stone industry into the world's largest producer of energy. The author believes that the development trend of the world's stone processing machinery and equipment will have two main characteristics. First, the mechanical properties will be high-efficiency, high-precision, high-automation, and low-cost. Development; the second is the focus of Italian stone machinery industry will move to China.

At present, the most representative advanced stone processing equipment has the following types:

Granite slab production equipment: including large sand saw (up to 7000 mm wide), multi-strand steel wire rope bead saw, granite slab continuous mill, high-precision automatic bridge cutter, etc.

Granite sheet production equipment: including large disk group saw (50 saw blades or more), specification plate continuous mill, multi- knife cross cutting machine, multi-knife slitter, edging chamfer line, automatic sorting packaging line ;

Marble slab production equipment: including diamond high-speed row saw, marble slab continuous mill, high-precision automatic bridge cutter, etc.

Marble sheet production equipment: high-speed two-way automatic cutting machine, set thickness machine, specifications plate continuous grinding machine, horizontal and vertical cutting machine, edging chamfer line, automatic sorting packaging line, etc.

Stone glue line: vertical glue line, horizontal glue line;

Other equipment: composite board production line, man-made post stone block production line, artificial quartz stone plate production line, etc.

The application trend of high-efficiency, high-precision, low-energy technology

1. Low energy consumption and low carbon are the directional requirements of various governments for the equipment manufacturing industry, and they are also an inevitable requirement for the stone industry to reduce processing costs.

2. High-precision, high-efficiency technology is the main way to realize low loss. Granite slab sawing is developing toward bead sawing, and its advantage is also high efficiency and high precision; with the flatness of the sawing plate increased, the stone Plate mill conditions to the direction of the development of large disc diameter, the diameter of the current continuous grinding mill disc 600mm, granite disc diameter of 540mm, has a good effect on energy saving.

Application Trends of Automation Technology

(Simple and repeat labor to realize mechanization, automation, automation equipment, computerization, fooling)

Automatic loading and unloading, transfer of stone workpieces, automatic detection technology of the processing process, application of stone processing equipment is an urgent need to liberate productivity and improve the quality of stone products. On the one hand, the stone processing industry still has a lot of simple and repetitive labor, which requires stone equipment enterprises. The development of more automated equipment to replace simple and repetitive labor, on the other hand, the operation of existing automated equipment products is more complex, a large number of artificial settings and adjustment of parameters, to equipment operation training and the stability of stone products quality caused difficulties. , Now the polishing line, glue line, special-shaped material processing center and other highly automated products will continue to develop in the direction of the fool.

Stone processing machinery and equipment modularization, standardization trend

1. The modularization of the stone processing machinery and equipment industry. There are many kinds of stone equipment products, and the market demand is very different. It is difficult for equipment manufacturing companies to achieve a large and comprehensive level. Therefore, the market of the whole industry will increasingly reflect the differentiated development. The pattern will grow into a brand enterprise with its own advantages in a certain subdivided area, such as sawing machine, polishing machine, bridge cutting machine, CNC Machining center, thin plate line professional manufacturing plant, and even some special components such as grinding head, mortar Pumps, tensioners, etc., also developed by professional production plants.

2. The serialization and standardization of various products are the development direction. For example, the size of the grinding head of the grinding machine, the tie rod of the saw, the tensioner, the saw blade, and the specification size of the block car will be unified and standardized. ACIMM failed to do this, I hope China Stone Machinery Professional Committee can advance the progress of this matter.

3. The modular R&D management within each professional manufacturing plant is an effective way to increase the speed of product innovation.

Due to the short life cycle of stone equipment products and the demand for personalized product customization, the product innovation design puts forward relatively stable requirements for the interface of various functional components, and there is great room for development in the modularization of product structure. The management of the enterprise will be in a competitive position.
