Abstract: A machine for machining materials in blocks or slabs includes: a) a tool-holder unit displaceable above an external working surface, in a parallel and orthogonal directions with respect to the working surface; b) a manipulator unit which is coupled to the tool holder unit, and includes gripping means of a material in block or slab to be worked; wherein the gripping means are moveable between a first inoperative position, which is distal with respect to the working surface, and a second operative position, which is proximal with respect to the working surface. The gripping means are rotatable between the first inoperative position and the second operative position.

Abstract: A support apparatus of slab materials includes a support structure, defining a horizontal work plane of a slab; a plurality of first supporting and sliding rollers of the slab on a first horizontal lying plane and a plurality of second supporting and sliding rollers of the slab on a second horizontal lying plane beneath the first lying plane. The first supporting and sliding rollers and the second supporting and sliding rollers are movable along a vertical direction with respect to the support structure, to bring the first and second lying plane beneath the, or at the, work plane and to load or withdraw a slab onto/from the work plane.

Abstract: A method for producing a laminated tile product is disclosed which comprises provided a sheet of natural stone having opposed first and second major surfaces and providing a plurality of ceramic substrates, each of the plurality of ceramic substrates having opposed first and second major surfaces. An adhesive material is provided on at least one of the first major surface of the sheet of natural stone and the first major surface of each of the plurality of ceramic substrates. The plurality of ceramic substrates and the sheet of natural stone are assembled such that the first surface of each of the plurality of ceramic substrates faces the first major surface of the sheet of natural stone with the adhesive material therebetween. Preferably, the second major surface of the ceramic substrate is polished and then the second major surface of the sheet of natural stone is polished. The resulting laminated assembly may be cut into a plurality of tiles. The laminated tiles produced by the method are also disclosed.
