Apuesta por el futuro
ABB Robot
Ten years after our foundation, back in 2016, we at Transforstone decided to take a gamble that would underpin our criteria of professionalism and quality forever. With the acquisition of an ABB Robot with software from TYD Robotics.
ABB ROBOT with SOFTWARE from TYD ROBOTICS
Capable of 5-axis honed and aged finishes.
3 interchangeable heads, a wire capable of cutting up to 2.1 metres in one pass, a disc for fast cutting and roughing of large quantities of material and a mandrel with interchangeable cutters. Crowns range from 50 cm to 1 mm for the most perfect finish.
"A robot like this has allowed us to work on projects that have been both a great challenge and an incredible experience for our company."
-Miracle Mile in Miami, where we worked 360 pieces, with 400 m3 of limestone, worked by our robot for 4500 hours in total.
-Urban furniture for The Grove residential and commercial complex in the Cayman Islands. This work was carried out together with JML, the world’s most renowned modern fountain architect studio.
-Plates for the CERN particle accelerator in Geneva (Switzerland). This project involved the production of our largest pieces to date, with solid plates measuring 4m long by 2.5m high. The precision required for this project only allowed for an admissible dimensional error of +- 0.5 mm.
What working process have we followed in all our projects?
To maintain our high standards of professionalism, we have a technical office that is in charge of designing the entire operation, starting simply from an idea or sketch or, in the best scenarios, from a project developed with a 3D file.
Creative process
We develop the idea hand in hand with the client, taking care of all the technical and design aspects, always looking for the best result.
1. Diseñamos el modelo a producir utilizando el programa de diseño Rhinoceros, siempre contando con el feedback del cliente hasta conseguir un proyecto final para su aprobación.
2. Un equipo formado por un técnico, un operario y el encargado de producción, seleccionan la piedra necesaria para la fabricación, teniendo siempre como objetivo la mayor aptitud del material.
3. Mecanizado de las piezas de roca, utilizando para ello el modelo 3D producido en la primera fase, mediante el software CADCAM. Con él, conseguimos el código CNC. Este proceso conlleva
una especialización muy concreta en los CNC de tallado de piedra natural.
4. Definición de los movimientos del robot a través de una simulación, utilizando el software Eureka. De esta manera, evitamos colisiones y optimizamos todo el proceso.
5. Traslado del programa resultante a nuestro ordenador de TDS + ABB, con el que finalmente se realizan, de forma física, las operaciones de desbaste, corte y acabado correspondientes. De esta
forma, somos capaces de manejar los últimos parámetros según nuestra amplia experiencia en piedra.
6. Coordinación del resultado final con nuestros operarios para manipular la piedra y realizar los últimos acabados estéticos que pudieran llegar a necesitarse.
Construction and quality process
Our master craftsmen check and shape each piece as if it were a work of art
