Abstract
A method and a plant are provided for calibrating surfaces of stone materials, suitable for working at least one slab (1) composed of an entry side and an exit side and of two parallel side edges; the slab (1) is pushed along the side edges through a conveyor belt and is subjected to the cutting action imparted by multiple tools equipped with a peripheral speed compatible with optimum cutting parameters for the stone material; the tools move along a predefined path along the surface of the slab (1), and the motion imparted by the conveyor belt and the predefined tool path is combined in order to completely cover the surface of the slab (1); the contact between the slab (1) and the tools is ensured simultaneously at least in one point on each of the two side edges of the slab (1).
