Intermac, a world reference in glass and stone processing within the Biesse group
TLDR: Intermac Glass & Stone Division, a subsidiary of the Biesse group (more than 1,300 employees worldwide), produces and distributes machinery for glass and stone processing, with the Master range recognised worldwide for its versatility in shaping sheets and blocks of natural, synthetic and ceramic materials.
Intermac Glass & Stone Division, a subsidiary of the Italian Biesse group (a listed company employing more than 1,300 people worldwide, with over 75,000 m² of production facilities in Italy), is recognised worldwide for its Master series, a benchmark for versatility in stone and glass processing. The Master machining centres for stone deliver a ready-to-install finish on every edge of natural or synthetic stone, with a refined vacuum cup system and a unique Helix drilling system that improves hole quality while reducing tool wear. The Master range for glass, dedicated to furniture, automotive, construction and household appliance production, offers the best performance for high-speed shaping of small and large batches. The brand portfolio has been enriched by the integration of Forvet and Bavelloni technologies, reorganised within the Intermac and Forvet macro-categories.
A range of HSD motor spindles with 5-axis heads for glass and stone
TLDR: Intermac Master machining centres are fitted with HSD spindles (the world leader in the sector), with a 5-axis head featuring an infinite rotary C axis and an A axis tilting from -90° to +90°, together with specialised 12 kW ATC spindles for grinding hard stone such as granite.
The Master series for glass is fitted with HSD spindles, the world-leading company in the sector, guaranteeing high power, compact dimensions and very high finishing standards. The 5-axis head, with an infinite rotary C axis and an A axis tilting from -90° to +90°, guarantees maximum flexibility, allowing the limits of the machine to be pushed for the most complex machining operations. On configurations dedicated to granite and hard materials, specialised 12 kW ATC spindles are designed specifically for grinding hard stone. An optional closed-circuit glycol cooling system guarantees consistent performance over time and resistance to maximum machining loads, with a dual-fluid system (high and low temperature) increasing spindle service life by 60% while reducing noise.
