One Machine, Two Capabilities: A Customized Stone CNC Heads to Chile

What if one stone CNC machine could replace two? That was exactly the goal of our customer in Chile.

On July 23, 2026, Quanzhou Jinzuan Technology Co., Ltd. successfully shipped one 2515T-1D 3-Axis Stone CNC Carving Machine equipped with an additional rotary axis mounted along the X-axis. This customized configuration allows the customer to process both flat stone panels and cylindrical stone workpieces on a single machine, significantly improving workshop flexibility while reducing equipment investment.

For stone processing companies handling diverse projects every month, versatility often creates more value than simply increasing machine quantity.

Why Add a Rotary Axis?

Traditional 3-axis stone CNC machines are excellent for processing flat materials such as granite, marble, quartz, and artificial stone.

However, many workshops also receive orders for:

• Memorial columns
• Decorative stone pillars
• Roman columns
• Balusters
• Cylindrical sculptures
• 3D carved stone columns
• Temple and architectural components

Instead of purchasing another dedicated rotary engraving machine, our Chilean customer chose an integrated solution.

By installing a rotary axis in the X-axis direction, the machine can switch between two production modes:

• Flat 2D engraving and relief carving
• Rotary 2D/3D cylindrical carving

This expands production capability without increasing factory floor space.

Machine Configuration

Real Production Applications

This machine is designed for manufacturers producing multiple stone products within the same workshop.

Typical production includes:

• Cemetery monuments with engraved portraits
• Decorative wall relief panels
• Hotel and villa stone decorations
• Temple stone columns
• Landscape sculptures
• Balustrades and cylindrical pillars
• Architectural ornaments
• Customized stone artwork

A single operator can complete flat engraving jobs during the day and switch to cylindrical carving whenever production requires, without changing to another CNC platform.

One Machine vs. Two Machines

Many buyers ask whether adding a rotary axis is worth the investment.

The answer depends on your product mix.

For workshops producing customized orders, the rotary-axis version helps shorten production changeover time and reduces equipment purchasing costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Why choose a rotary axis instead of buying another machine?

For many stone factories, workshop space and equipment budgets are limited. A rotary attachment allows one machine to perform both flat and cylindrical engraving, reducing overall investment while increasing production flexibility.

Q2. Can the machine carve both 2D and 3D columns?

Yes. The rotary axis supports both 2D cylindrical engraving and 3D rotary carving, making it suitable for decorative columns, stone pillars, sculptures, and customized cylindrical products.

Q3. Is the rotary axis difficult to operate?

No. Once the machining program is prepared, operators simply switch the processing mode within the CNC control system. Customers already familiar with standard stone CNC operation usually require only minimal additional training.
