Stone countertops offer unmatched beauty, durability, and value, making them a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Materials like granite, marble, and quartz are highly resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, ensuring long-lasting performance. However, the fabrication process presents challenges, such as precise cutting, non-linear shapes like sink cutouts, and intricate edge profiling, which require advanced tools and skilled labor. These tasks can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, leading to increased costs. Utilizing CNC technology helps overcome these challenges by improving accuracy, reducing waste, and speeding up production, making stone fabrication more efficient.
Robo SawJet M Series
5-axis sawjets, such as our M Series, are versatile cutting machines that integrate sawblade and waterjet mitering, efficiently processing large slabs.
The M Series combines both saw and waterjet capabilities, allowing for precise cuts on inside corners, integrated sinks, and custom countertops. The saw handles straight cuts quickly and cost-effectively, while the waterjet excels at complex, non-linear cuts, minimizing material waste.
Built with a durable KUKA KR 210 robot, a 26-HP saw motor, and a 50-HP waterjet, this model ensures reliability and requires minimal upkeep—just occasional greasing and oil changes. The waterjet’s design allows for easy maintenance with accessible components.
Using the M Series to pre-shape non-linear cuts can increase CNC router output by up to 30%, allowing the router to concentrate on edge work and polishing, enhancing overall efficiency. The M Series features Alphacam software with a custom BACA toolbar for straightforward programming, including multi-point slab thickness adjustments and an auto-calibration process.
Easily upgrade from a single-table to a dual-table setup, potentially doubling production without needing to replace your machinery, offering flexibility for future growth. This model has a smaller footprint than many bridge-based machines, saving space and reducing real estate costs. Additionally, the M Series includes low-profile tanks accessible from three sides, improving convenience and eliminating the need for operators to climb onto the table to reach materials.

Miter X
Achieve clean, accurate cuts consistently with the Miter X, expertly manufactured and supported by BACA Systems.
This cutting solution features a robust monoblock construction, pneumatic clamps for secure part placement, and precise hard stop positioning for effortless alignment. The clamping mechanism minimizes vibration and compensates for bowed materials, ensuring stability during cuts. Mitering is performed with the polished side down, preventing thickness variation and maintaining a flat cutting surface.
With the ability to cut miters at a 45º angle (+/- 1º), the Miter X leaves the perfect gap for gluing and finishing. These features guarantee miters sharper than the blade itself, delivering exceptional results every time.
