Granite
Fabrication Technology Installation Unique To Arkansas |
|
This high technology
package comprised of computerized image capture and management along with
precision-built machinery takes the fabrication of granite to a whole
new level at Benton, Arkansas-based Arkansas Granite & More - an AIA
Arkansas Silver Ribbon Co-Sponsor.
Founded by a professional
with more than 35 years experience in the granite industry, Bobby McElroy,
this platform utilizes knowledge acquired over the years to build a "dream"
facility that simplifies complex granite fabrication processes, helps
eliminate waste, and speeds production times.
When a slab of granite
is received, it is photographed on the Pathfinder® 1200 digital photo
station and a bar code is generated for inventory management.

Digital Photo Station |
| The incredibly
high quality image captures every vein and subtle variant of each slab.
Color printouts are available that perfectly represent the end result appearance.
Once a specific job is digitized and measurements acquired, CAD files are
created to show seam placement and overhangs, sink cut-outs and similar
features that determine cutting patterns. These files are then loaded into
the Fusion® 4000 system that guides the powerful CNC saw/Waterjet apparatus
through perfectly straight cuts and any radius required. |
