In today’s stonework industry, where every minute counts and quality and precision are a company’s hallmark, the CNC Akwilon Automatic Sandblasting System sets a new benchmark. This machine is designed for workshops that are ready to invest in modern technology to optimise production, increase efficiency, and significantly reduce operational costs, especially those associated with manual labour. Whether you run a large company with serial production or a medium or small workshop focused on growth and innovation, CNC Akwilon is the answer to your needs.

While its primary application is the precise processing of memorial stone, the versatility of the CNC Akwilon system also allows for effective sandblasting of other flat surfaces – from glass to steel. It’s an investment that opens up new possibilities and boosts your company’s competitiveness in the market.

Intelligent Automation – Your New, Reliable Team Member

The CNC Akwilon system is more than just a machine – it’s an intelligent unit that takes over the most time-consuming and monotonous stages of the sandblasting process, delivering a level of precision and repeatability unattainable by manual work.

Complete, individual control over the sandblasting process:
The operator can independently set all key parameters for each sandblasted element (section):

– Number of sandblasting passes:
Precisely define the intensity of processing for each part of the project.
– Head traverse speed:
Adjust the working speed individually for the material type and desired result in each sandblasted area.
– Head step (lateral movement):
Match the step to the nozzle diameter in use, ensuring optimal surface coverage.
– Sandblasting pressure:
Achieve full control over the abrasive impact on the work surface, directly affecting the depth and quality of the sandblasting.
– Abrasive selection:
You’ll be more inclined to use high-quality abrasive materials.

With advanced control over all these parameters, you can manage the sandblasting depth separately for each element, achieving perfectly even and aesthetically pleasing inscriptions and patterns.

All settings can be freely adjusted both before starting and during the process – independently for each section in the single project. After completion, you can repeat sandblasting for all or only selected elements of the project, providing full flexibility and maximum precision, even for the most demanding jobs.

– Advanced Integration with Dustless Sandblasters:
CNC Akwilon fully integrates with and controls the connected dustless sandblaster (SB Orkan Plus or SB Eol Plus). The system manages the process intelligently:
– Automatic abrasive level detection:
When the abrasive in the pressure tank is running low, the CNC Akwilon automatically pauses sandblasting, allowing material to transfer from the upper feed tank to the lower pressure tank.
– Resumption from the last position:
After refilling, the machine resumes sandblasting exactly where it left off, eliminating the risk of errors.
– Abrasive refill notifications:
In case of complete depletion, the system clearly informs the operator that more abrasive is needed.
– Automatic Filter Cleaning:
The CNC Akwilon system automatically initiates the dust filter cleaning cycle in the connected sandblaster, maintaining peak performance and minimising operator intervention.
– Automatic Surface Vacuuming:
After sandblasting, the head automatically vacuums the processed surface, leaving it clean and ready for the next stage.
– Reliability Even After Power Failure:
Thanks to its memory function, if you had a power failure, CNC Akwilon resumes work from the last saved position, protecting your material and saving time.

Intuitive Operation and User Comfort

Despite its advanced technology, operating the CNC Akwilon machine is extremely straightforward and intuitive. After a brief training session, any employee can effectively utilise its capabilities.

– Modern PLC Controller with Touchscreen:
The heart of the system is a clear, user-friendly touch PLC panel. It enables easy programming of sandblasting fields, parameter settings, and real-time monitoring.
– Manual Controller on a Long Cable:
For even greater convenience and precision, the table features an additional manual controller. This allows the operator to approach the workpiece closely and make precise adjustments or corrections.
– Specialised Software:
The machine includes dedicated software for sandblasting, for example, rectangular frames on mirrors or glass elements.

Flexibility and Customisation for Your Needs

– Optimal Working Area with Expansion Options:
The standard working area is 1200×1200 mm, ideal for most typical stoneworking tasks. However, it can be enlarged upon request to suit your specific production requirements.
– Compatibility with Dedicated Sandblasters:
The CNC Akwilon machine is designed to work mainly with Sandblast Tech dustless sandblasters – SB Orkan Plus or SB Eol Plus.
If you already own a dustless sandblaster from another manufacturer, it can be adapted for use with our CNC machine.

An Investment That Pays for Itself Rapidly

Choosing the CNC Akwilon Automatic Sandblasting System is a strategic step towards cost optimisation. The purchase price, compared to the annual cost of employing a worker to perform the same tasks manually, often pays for itself within the first year of operation.
Automation enables:

– Significant Time Savings:
The machine works faster and without breaks, completing tasks that would take many hours by hand.
– Reduced Labour Costs:
The operator can supervise CNC Akwilon while performing other tasks, increasing overall team efficiency.
– Minimisation of Errors and Material Waste:
CNC precision eliminates the risk of costly mistakes typical of manual work.

Unmatched Quality and Repeatability

Compared to manual sandblasting, CNC Akwilon delivers an unparalleled level of precision and uniformity. Every detail, line, and depth is executed with perfect repeatability, resulting in:

– Perfectly Uniform Sandblasting:
Eliminates “wavy” effects and irregularities, ensuring an aesthetically superior final product.
– High-Quality Inscriptions and Decorative Work:
Even the most complex designs are executed with the highest accuracy.
– Increased Customer Satisfaction:
Professionally finished products enhance your company’s reputation.

Workplace Safety and Health Protection
Automating the sandblasting process with the CNC Akwilon machine, combined with a dustless sandblaster, is also a commitment to the health and safety of your employees.

– Elimination of Dust Exposure:
The operator has no direct contact with abrasive or dust, protecting their respiratory system.
– Work Without Cumbersome Protective Gear:
There is no need for heavy sandblasting helmets or specialised suits.
– Reduced Physical Fatigue:
The machine handles the hardest work, relieving the operator.

Ecology and a Modern Company Image

Investing in the CNC Akwilon Automatic Sandblasting System and dustless technology is also a step towards more eco-friendly production and building a modern, responsible company image. Minimising dust emissions and efficiently using abrasive benefits both the environment and your business.
