Which wax setting machine should you buy?

Four models, compared by what actually decides the choice.

Semsons Tech makes four automatic diamond wax setting machines. The Pro Mini is the compact single-station model, rated up to 10,000 stones an hour on single-phase power. The X4 Pro Plus has two stations, rated up to 15,000 an hour across both. The ST-HDSSM is the double-head volume machine, rated up to 20,000 an hour on 8 nozzles. The PRO SERIES is a heavier single-station machine whose speed the catalogue does not publish. All four hold ±0.02 mm spot accuracy.

Single station

PRO SERIES

A heavier single-station machine, about 550 kg in a 780 × 730 mm footprint. The catalogue publishes no speed or nozzle count for it, so ask us for its figures on your wax and stones before comparing it with the others.

Before you decide

Three things to check

  1. Your real stone count

    Count the stones you set in a month today and the target. The rating you need follows from that, not from the biggest number on a sheet.

  2. Your power and air

    Single-phase 220 V runs the Pro Mini and X4 Pro Plus. Every model needs a compressor and an air dryer; budget for both.

  3. A test on your own wax

    See the machine set your own wax and stones before you commit. That is what a demonstration is for.

Questions

Choosing a setting machine

Every parameter for all four machines is in the full comparison table.

Which Semsons Tech wax setting machine should I buy?

Start from your daily stone count and your space. The Pro Mini suits a first machine or a small workshop (up to 10,000 stones an hour, single-phase, 135 kg). The X4 Pro Plus doubles the stations (up to 15,000 an hour across both). The ST-HDSSM is the volume machine (up to 20,000 an hour, 8 nozzles). Send us your wax and stone mix and we confirm the rating for it before you order.

What is the difference between the Pro Mini and the X4 Pro Plus?

The Pro Mini is a single-station machine with 3 nozzles, rated up to 10,000 stones an hour, at 135 kg. The X4 Pro Plus has two stations and 4 nozzles, is rated up to 15,000 stones an hour across both, feeds from 4 trays holding 12,800 stones and weighs 850 kg. Both run on single-phase 220 V and carry a 12-month warranty, extendable, as published by our store.

Are the rated speeds guaranteed?

No. They are rated maximums, reached with suitable wax and stone, not guaranteed output on every job. We confirm the rating for your wax and stone mix before you order.

What do all four machines have in common?

All four hold ±0.02 mm spot drilling accuracy, using an industrial five-axis motion controller, servo drive and precision screw guide transmission, with a control system developed in-house by Semsons Tech. They handle channel, push, micro and prong settings.

How much does a wax setting machine cost?

Machine prices are given on enquiry. For the X4 Pro Plus and Pro Mini our store publishes a booking amount from ₹50,000 including GST, which counts toward the machine price. Ask for a written quotation; compare it with others only once the compressor and air dryer are included or excluded on both.
