WATERJET
Aqua Tech Waterjet Machine - Mach4 4020b
Standard Features
- 13.1 x 6.6 foot cutting envelope
- Dynamic Waterjet® XD - for faster more accurate bevel and 3D cutting
- Flow's High-Performance NanoDrive System
- The highest precision motion system in the industry
- UltraPierce™ - ideal for cutting brittle and laminated materials such as marble, stone, glass, and composites.
- Laser Edge Finder - allows a waterjet operator to precisely position their Flow waterjet at an exact position on the workpiece being cut.
Cutting system combines a pump rated at 94,000 pis (648 MPa), with Dynamic Waterjet XD, a high-precision flat stock and 3-D waterjet cutting technology. This combination is said to improve part cycle time and accuracy two to four times over standard non-Dynamic systems. The patented dynamic XD allows cutting bevels and 3-D parts using small wrist with up to 60º of articulation in any direction.
Aqua Tech Waterjet Machine - Omax 8oX
Precision machining workhorse: From prototypes to production runs in sizes up to 4' x 8'. The Model 80X JetMachining Center cuts complex flat parts and is ideal for cutting larger or multiple part projects, out of materials including metal, plastic, glass, ceramic and composites directly from a CAD drawing or .DXF file. JetMachining is ideal for short-run part production, just-in-time manufacturing, tooling and prototype part development.
Qualities 1 through 5 use abrasive and water to cut the material. A quality of 1 will cut through the material; however it will leave a rough edge quality. This is acceptable if the edge will not be seen or if it is going to be welded. A quality of 2 will leave a fair edge and is good enough for most applications. A quality of 3 will leave a good edge and this our default setting. A quality of 4 is excellent and is great for machine parts or parts requiring a polished edge. A quality of 5 is superior to all.

Abrasive Jet Benefits
- Machines a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
- Does not create heat affected zones or mechanical stresses.
- Rapid setup, no tool changes are required.
- Minimal fixturing required.
- Leaves behind a satin smooth edge,reducing secondary operations.
- No noxious gases, liquids, or oils are used in (or caused by) the machining process.
- Completes most work below 80 dBA for submerged cutting.
