Three Stone CNC Machines Head to Croatia with a Custom-Built Upgrade

On September 4, 2026, Quanzhou Jinzuan Technology Co., Ltd. completed the export of three 3-axis single-head stone CNC carving machines to Croatia. The shipment includes two 2515T-1D stone CNC machines with 2500 × 1500 mm working tables and one 1515T-1D stone CNC machine with a 1500 × 1500 mm working table.

What makes this order particularly noteworthy is not simply the number of machines, but the configuration selected by the Croatian customer. All three machines were customized with an 11 kW spindle and a 600 mm Z-axis stroke, compared with the conventional configuration of a 7.5 kW spindle and 400 mm Z-axis stroke.

For stone fabricators working with thicker materials, deeper reliefs, three-dimensional sculptures, or more demanding carving paths, this configuration provides additional machining capacity where a standard setup may not be sufficient.

One Order, Two Working Sizes, One Upgraded Configuration

The Croatian shipment demonstrates a practical approach to machine selection: different working areas can share the same upgraded machining configuration while serving different production requirements.

The two 2515T-1D machines provide a larger 2500 × 1500 mm working area, making them suitable for larger stone panels, architectural reliefs, tombstone designs, decorative wall elements, and medium-to-large three-dimensional carving projects. The 1515T-1D, with its 1500 × 1500 mm working table, is more compact and can be a practical choice for smaller stone workshops, customized monuments, lettering, relief carving, and detailed decorative components.

Why Did the Customer Choose an 11 kW Spindle and 600 mm Z-Axis?

A standard machine configuration is not necessarily the best configuration for every workshop.

For many conventional stone carving applications, a 7.5 kW spindle with a 400 mm Z-axis stroke can meet routine requirements. However, customers processing thicker stone blocks or planning deeper carving operations may require greater spindle capacity and additional vertical travel.

This Croatian order therefore uses an upgraded configuration:

The key difference is not simply “more power.” The upgraded 11 kW spindle is intended to provide greater machining capacity, while the 600 mm Z-axis stroke gives the tool more vertical working range when handling thicker workpieces or deeper three-dimensional carving paths. For example, when a workshop moves from relatively flat lettering and shallow reliefs to deep reliefs, 3D stone sculptures, thicker stone blocks, or irregular workpieces, the additional Z-axis travel becomes particularly relevant.

From Flat Letters to 3D Stone Carving

A 3-axis stone CNC machine can be used for considerably more than simple stone lettering.

Depending on the tooling and programmed toolpath, the machines shipped to Croatia can be applied to:

• Tombstone & Monument Production: Carving names, portraits, decorative borders, relief patterns, and customized memorial designs.
• Architectural Stone Decoration: Producing columns, wall panels, decorative motifs, reliefs, and other architectural components.
• 3D Stone Sculpture: Machining three-dimensional forms and deeper relief structures from marble, granite, and other suitable stone materials.
• Stone Furniture & Decorative Parts: Processing customized patterns and shaped components for countertops, furniture elements, and interior decoration.

This application flexibility is one reason CNC stone carving technology is increasingly used by workshops that need to move from repetitive 2D production toward more customized and value-added stone products.

2515T-1D vs 1515T-1D: Which Working Size Fits Your Production?

Choosing between the two models is primarily a question of workpiece size and workshop workflow, rather than simply machine power.

If the majority of your work consists of larger slabs, monuments, or architectural components, the 2515T-1D offers a larger working envelope.

If your workshop mainly processes smaller stone products and customized decorative pieces, the 1515T-1D provides a more compact working solution while retaining the same customized 11 kW spindle and 600 mm Z-axis configuration used in this Croatian order.

What Does This Shipment Tell Stone Machine Buyers?

The most important takeaway from this Croatian order is simple: A stone CNC machine should be configured according to the workpiece—not selected only by model name.

Before purchasing, buyers should consider at least four practical questions:

1. What is the maximum stone size to be processed?

This determines the appropriate working table, such as 1500 × 1500 mm or 2500 × 1500 mm.

2. How thick are the typical workpieces?

Thicker materials may require greater Z-axis travel.

3. Are the projects mainly 2D, relief, or 3D?

Deeper and more complex carving can place greater demands on spindle capacity and Z-axis movement.

4. Will production requirements change in the future?

If a workshop plans to expand from lettering and shallow reliefs into deeper carving or 3D stone sculpture, selecting an upgraded configuration from the beginning can provide additional production flexibility.

Another Step Forward in Jinzuan's Global Stone CNC Business

From the initial selection of working table size to spindle power and Z-axis travel, this Croatian order reflects a straightforward principle at Quanzhou Jinzuan Technology Co., Ltd.: the machine should adapt to the customer's production requirements, rather than forcing every customer into the same standard configuration.

The shipment of three 3-axis single-head customized stone CNC machines to Croatia is another example of Jinzuan's ongoing cooperation with international stone processing companies.

For stone workshops looking for a 3-axis CNC solution for lettering, relief carving, architectural decoration, monuments, or 3D stone machining, configuration should always start with the actual workpiece, material, and production goals.
