Investing in the right edge polisher can significantly improve efficiency and quality of output in your workshop. Marmo Meccanica edge polishers are often perceived as entry-level line machines, but this is a misconception. These models can be built to handle far more complex requirements than a standard line polisher, whilst offering greater flexibility, finish quality and long-term reliability.
The Marmo Meccanica LCR range has been developed specifically for fabricators who need more than flat edge polishing. It performs radius work, chamfering, underside polishing and flat edge polishing, all while remaining easy to use.
Discover five key highlights that make the LCR range such a practical edge polishing solution for stone workshops.
Create top and bottom radii without hand finishing
One key feature of the LCR range is its ability to perform both top and bottom radius work using a single, integrated hydraulic unit. This unit can produce radii of up to 4mm on both top and bottom edge of stone and can be locked at an angle to create standard chamfers – no need for additional heads of a separate machine.
With this kind of setup, it’s simple to deliver consistent results, removing the variation that often comes with hand finishing while avoiding the time investment typically required for CNC processing.
Two machines in one: Flat process and chamfer simultaneously
The LCR effectively combines flat edge polishing, chamfering and radius processing into a single pass. Unlike bullnose machines, there’s no need to run material through the machine multiple times. The LCR machine completes both simultaneously, increasing throughput and reducing processing time per slab.
Not only does this speed up production, but it saves space in the factory with one machine carrying out the work of two, and reduces costs by eliminating the need to invest in two machines.
Compact hydraulics, all within the machine
Workshop space is at a premium, which is why the LCR range is compactly designed, with self-contained hydraulics. These hydraulic components are built within the machine, meaning that no separate hydraulic tank is required. This makes installation a lot less complex and maintenance significantly easier. Housing the hydraulic motors within the machine also protects them from everyday water spray and slurry in the factory, reducing failures and damage.
A unique system for quick and smooth action
True to Marmo Meccanica’s brand values, ease of maintenance and user experience were key priorities in the design of the LCR edge polisher. To achieve this, the machine uses a unique CAM system to perform quick and smooth radius movement, designed to be a lot less wearing than traditional threaded rod mechanisms. This CAM system eliminates the risk of creating poor or inaccurate chamfers on your client’s worktop edge and ensures a consistent high finish throughout.
Fully customisable to suit your factory needs
Despite its compact footprint, the LCR range remains fully customisable, allowing you to tailor the machine to suit your specific workflow. Optional features for the LCR range include:
- Front calibration unit
- Multi-function outgoing unit for shaping, mitring, drip grooves and face grooves
- Underside polishing unit
- Additional flat edge polishing heads
- Special bench to process narrow strips, down to 45mm width
A smart addition to your factory
The Marmo Meccanica LCR range of edge polishers are built for fabricators who need precision, flexibility and longevity. The LCR is a perfect example of Marmo Meccanica’s smart mechanical engineering. By combining multiple functions into one compact, reliable machine, it helps fabricators save space, time and money.
