Installazioni su misura per la ripresa fotografica di lastre di marmo.
Frutto di una tecnologia messa a punto negli ultimi anni, FLEXI PHOTOSHOOTER consente di ottenere foto di altissima qualità sia dal punto di vista cromatico che come definizione dei dettagli strutturali. Grazie a queste caratteristiche le foto possono essere utilizzate in totale sostituzione dell’esame fisico diretto delle lastre, una possibilità che apre nuove prospettive nel business delle pietre ornamentali ed è alla base dei prodotti e dei servizi innovativi offerti da STONEIMAGE. La foto può essere fornita con scontornatura della lastra su sfondo dotato di righello metrico e logo aziendale, e le misure della lastra, ottenuta in automatico dal software di scatto.
Image quality
Our systems allow us to obtain extremely high-quality photos, both in terms of color and definition of structural details. Thanks to these features, the photos can be used as a complete replacement for direct physical examination of the slabs , a possibility that opens up new perspectives in the ornamental stone business and is the basis of the innovative products and services offered by STONEIMAGE. The photos can be supplied with a cutout of the slab on a background featuring a metric ruler and company logo, and the slab’s measurements , obtained automatically by the shooting software.








Accuracy of Reproductions
One of the key features of our technology is the ability to produce photos in which the dimensions of the photographed sheet are identical to those of the actual sheet (tolerance +/- 1 mm): this allows us to use the photos to directly design the sheet cutting in CAD . Furthermore, the system does not require modifications based on the sheet color, and the camera settings are performed only once during installation.
Flexibility and Ease of Use
Aware of the different needs of companies in the sector, FLEXI PHOTOSHOOTER can be custom-designed to cope with the most restrictive space conditions, which are very common in existing polishing lines.
Proven photographic know-how
The heart of the FLEXI PHOTOSHOOTER is a photographic system that has been extensively tested on dozens of materials. Our system is the result of know-how gained over years of experience, allowing you to photograph materials of a wide variety of colors without having to adjust the shooting settings.
FLEXI System: flexible system design
Our photographic system is extremely flexible. It can be installed on custom-designed systems to meet the diverse needs of our clients, without altering the geometry and lighting scheme, which ensures the highest photo quality.
Little space in your shed? No longer a problem.
The flexibility of the FLEXI PHOTOSHOOTER is the right solution even when space in the warehouse or along the polishing line doesn’t allow for flexibility. We can design custom installations in limited spaces without compromising photo quality.
Vertical slab installations
For companies that don’t have a polishing line and specialize in plate sales or cut-to-size, the FLEXI PHOTOSHOOTER – VERTICAL version may be preferable, which photographs the plates in a vertical position, placed on an easel. This is also an ideal solution for those who only need to photograph the first plate of a pastel/bundle.
Horizontal slab installations
The FLEXI PHOTOSHOOTER – HORIZONTAL version is the classic horizontal plate installation designed for processing companies. It can be installed along the polishing line, on the inspection or unloader roller conveyor, or as a stand-alone unit served by a loader and unloader.
Easy to use
All our installations are extremely easy to use. Our technology allows us to photograph any stone material without having to change the shooting settings. The photo can be acquired automatically as the slab passes through or taken by an operator simply by touching a button on the control panel.
Every phase of the FLEXI system is automated
All the steps leading to the creation and immediate use of the photos happen automatically:
– Settings and photo shooting
– Acquisition of slab measurements
– Photo cropping
– Insertion of background with metric rulers
– Sending to the virtual warehouse
– Sending to the online sales platform
Cutout and personalized photos
Thanks to software developed by us, the FLEXI photographic system automatically crops the plates and places them on a background equipped with metric rulers and a company logo, allowing them to be used immediately for marketing the plate.
Photos that can be used to plan the processing and use of the slabs
The photos taken with the FLEXI system have characteristics that allow them to be used immediately to plan in detail both the cutting of the slabs and their design use:
– No distortion of the photo
– Deviation from the real slab +/- 1mm
– Maximum chromatic reliability
– Possibility of virtual pre-installation
