A bush hammer is a machine that allows you to obtain a finish called bush hammering on materials such as natural stone. Natural stone processing factories traditionally have several surface treatment processes for the raw material, once the initial block has been transformed into boards of different thicknesses.

The possibilities are: sawn, polished, honed, flamed, bush hammered, sandblasted and shot blasted, among others.

Currently, automatic machines are used that use pneumatic hammers, which in turn hit the surface using bush hammers. There are also other types of machines with rotating bush-hammering rollers, normally used in the treatment of marble, sandstone and soft granite.

The most widespread and valued application for its final appearance continues to be classic bush hammering, by striking bush hammers.

When applying this process on a work line, what is needed is a variable number of hammers with bushings to obtain a significant production capacity. The main problem with bush hammering is that the useful work area must be understood within the regular rectangle that can be obtained within the board to be treated.

With the application of a board scanning system, prior to the contour and thickness of the material to be treated, the aim is to provide a solution to this problem. It does not discriminate the useful work area, but rather controls both the thickness and the total surface of the board, regardless of the irregularities present in its contour, no matter how variable they may be, and a safety perimeter is applied throughout its working contour, variable and parameterizable.

In addition to these advantages, it should be noted that the new system aims to achieve a significant increase in the production of work lines, an increase in the fluidity and control of maneuvers and a reduction in cycle times, as well as greater use of the useful surface treated per board unit.
