Description
4+1 Axis CNC Monoblock Bridge Saw for High-End Stone Fabrication
The Achilli GOLD is a next-generation CNC monoblock bridge saw built for fabrication shops that need to move beyond manual cutting. Four fully CNC-controlled axes plus automatic head rotation from 0° to 360° give you automated straight cuts, angled cuts, profiling, sink cut-outs, drilling, and decorative edge work — all from a single machine, all programmable from a 12" touchscreen interface.
The monoblock steel structure requires no foundation — position it, level it, and run. Hot-dip galvanized frame, brushless motors on all axes, and linear guides with recirculating ball slides are built for continuous industrial production, not occasional shop use. The hydraulic tilting worktable handles large, heavy slabs safely without manual lifting. At 11 kW (15 HP) with variable speed from 800 to 3000 RPM, it has the power to run 350–525 mm blades through granite, quartzite, and sintered stone at production throughput.
For shops ready to automate, the GOLD is the benchmark.
Key Features & Benefits
4+1 Axis CNC Control with 360° Head Rotation
Full CNC control across X, Y, Z, and tilt axes, plus automatic head rotation from 0° to 360°. Cuts any angle, any direction, without manual repositioning. Enables complex shapes, decorative profiles, and multi-axis cuts that are impossible on manual machines.
12" Touchscreen Interface with Pre-Loaded Programs
Intuitive touchscreen programming with pre-loaded cutting programs for hexagons, octagons, kitchen tops, polygons, and custom shapes. Operators can run complex cutting cycles without CNC programming expertise — select the program, set the parameters, run the cycle.
Brushless Motors on All Axes
Brushless motors deliver smooth, precise, and reliable movement across all axes — lower maintenance than brushed motors, higher positional accuracy, and consistent performance over long production runs.
Monoblock Structure — No Foundation Required
The monoblock steel frame ships as a single rigid unit. No foundation pour, no anchor bolts, no extended installation. Position, level, connect utilities, and run. Hot-dip galvanized finish for long-term corrosion resistance in wet shop environments.
Hydraulic Tilting Worktable
The 4800 × 2200 mm worktable tilts hydraulically for safe slab loading without manual lifting. WPC and rubber surface layer protects slab faces during processing. Pneumatic pop-up slab stops and pop-up rollers available for thin material handling and slab positioning.
Integrated Drilling & Advanced Processing
1/2" GAS connection for core drilling. Automatic drilling cycle for corner cutting and stress relief on sintered materials. Handles sink cut-outs, countertop fabrication, and precision detail work in the same automated cycle as straight cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 4+1 axis mean on the GOLD?
Four fully CNC-controlled axes (X, Y, Z, and head tilt) plus automatic 360° head rotation as the fifth axis. This allows the machine to cut any angle, any direction, and execute complex multi-axis operations automatically without manual repositioning.
Does it require a concrete foundation?
No. The monoblock steel structure ships as a single rigid unit and requires no foundation pour or anchor bolts. Position, level, connect utilities, and run.
Can it handle sink cut-outs and drilling as well as straight cuts?
Yes. The GOLD includes a 1/2" GAS drilling connection and automatic drilling cycle for corner cutting and stress relief. Sink cut-outs, countertop fabrication, and precision detail work run in the same automated cycle as straight cuts.
What is the maximum blade size?
525 mm (20") diameter blades. The variable speed range (800–3000 RPM) allows optimization for different blade sizes and materials.
How complex is the programming?
The 12" touchscreen interface includes pre-loaded programs for common shapes (hexagons, octagons, kitchen tops, polygons). Operators can run complex cutting cycles without CNC programming expertise by selecting programs and setting parameters.
What power supply does the GOLD require?
The GOLD runs on 3-phase power at 11 kW (15 HP). Confirm your shop's electrical capacity and supply before ordering. Contact us for full installation requirements.
