Factory Acceptance Checks for a CNC Bridge Saw
A buyer's guide to defining practical pass or fail checks for a CNC bridge saw, using the catalog reference values as a starting point for acceptance testing.
Before signing off a CNC bridge saw for stone, decide how you will prove the machine meets your own cutting requirements, not just the catalog figures. A useful starting point is to agree a test piece and a set of measurable outcomes with the supplier before the factory acceptance test.
Ask the supplier to cut stone on the machine at the reference blade diameter range of 350–500 mm and confirm which blade and stone type will be used. Define a pass or fail result for straightness, squareness and surface finish on that agreed sample. For the 11 kW main spindle, ask how power draw will be recorded during a representative cut and what limit counts as a failure.
Check the maximum working dimensions of 3,500 × 2,000 mm by cutting or marking a full-size test piece, and verify the table tilt through its 0–85° range with a measured angle at defined points. Agree in advance how repeatability will be checked, for example by repeating the same cut and comparing results.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which tests they will run, what instrumentation and records they will provide, and whether you or a representative may witness the acceptance test.
