Dynamic Waterjet®
Dynamic Waterjet with Active Tolerance Control produces more accurate parts at significantly higher cutting speeds than parts cut with a conventional waterjet.
A Breakthrough Waterjet Cutting Process
Dynamic Waterjet with Active Tolerance Control produces more accurate parts at significantly higher cutting speeds than parts cut with a conventional waterjet.
This patented system utilizes a newly-developed advanced motion system that incorporates unique mathematical cutting models, which control a small, articulated wrist that is attached to the cutting head.
The wrist allows the cutting head to tilt in any direction, compensating for the stream lag and taper experienced with conventional waterjet cutting machines.
Benefits:
- Cut parts 25-400% faster than conventional flat stock waterjet cutting machines
- Improve cut part tolerances and geometry at significantly higher speeds
- Virtually eliminate taper; taper is < 1 degree in straight-line geometry
- Reduce part cost
- True part stacking ability with consistent tolerance layer to layer
- Cut a variety of materials, such as metal, stone, glass, and composites
- Easy to program; no specialized training or knowledge required
- Cut parts using virtually any CAD file, or scan a drawing directly into FlowMaster®
Specifications:
- Powerful, predictive mathematical cutting models
-
FlowMaster software with Dynamic Waterjet module
