Cobalm srl

The company Co.b.a.l.m. was established in 1964 to produce suction benches for the workshops of marble workers; there was a clearly felt, need to eliminate from the environment the dust produced in the dry processing of marble, and company's solution was so original and functional, that it was patented both in Italy and in the major European countries. Towards the middle of the 70's Co.b.a.l.m. began to produce sawing machines for cutting slabs of marble and granite. In this case, as would occur also in the future, the Co.b.a.l.m. distinguished itself from other manufacturers by creating a single-block machine, all constructed in electro-welded steel with load bearing shoulders (that didn't require concrete walls) with great advantages for installation and placement; In 1999 Co.b.a.l.m. manufactured a CN SAW with 3 interpolated axes and with a ELECTROSPINDLE in a vertical position, for the realization of kitchen tops, bathroom tops, non-rectilinear shapes, etc., suitable for all those workshops that didn't have sufficent production to justify the purchase of a large expensive CNC work center. Subsequently, Co.b.a.l.m. developed a version of the SAW that, through controlling the movement of the head was able to make cuts at any angle. This permitted the automation of complex machining operation, such as the cut of spiral staircases, or, generally skewed cuts. The range of SAWS currently consists of models which differ from one another for the cutting capacity and automatic features. In 1995, after two years of planning and development, Co.b.a.l.m. began the mass production of a CNC drilling machine, suitable for drilling tombstones, veneer ceramic, etc. This led in a few years to the realization of a numerically controlled pantograph with three interpolated axes, able to solve many of the problems associated with the execution of articles for the funerary art ( programmed drilling for insertion of letters and bronze accessories, engraving of letters and images, realization of high and low reliefs) and for decoration of building and for interior decoration (emblems and logos, fireplaces, etc.). In the following years, based on the experience of more than 200 pantographs IDEA PLUS sold, other models of machining centers were developed. Co.b.a.l.m.'s products cover today the range of pantographs IDEA PLUS, the CNC 3-4 axes IDEA TOP and 5 axes HYPER Top.
