3D Waterjet Cutting Technology

The Mach 4 cutting system combines a HyperJet pump, rated at 94,000 psi, with Dynamic Waterjet XD, a high-precision flat stock and 3D waterjet cutting technology. The combination is said to improve part cycle time and accuracy.

The accuracy and speed that Dynamic Waterjet applied to 2D cutting is now available for cutting bevels and 3D parts with the patented Dynamic XD. Now manufacturers can accurately cut a variety of intricate designs, often without any secondary processing.

The HyperJet pump delivers a stream of water at nearly four times the speed of sound, the company says. Increased pressure increases productivity. Waterjets equipped with HyperPressure systems running continuously at 87,000 psi cut as much as 50 percent faster while using less abrasive than conventional waterjets, the company says. Parts can be cut with a lower cost per part, and more jobs can be completed in less time.

Cost-Effective Waterjet Technology
The Hydro-Jet Eco is described as a high-precision, low cost waterjet cutting system. The unit offers a compact design and cuts virtually any type of material including metal, composites, plastic and more.

Equipped with a software package for quick programming on an integrated PC control with graphical user interface, the waterjet technology features a cold-cutting process that ensures distortion free fabrication, the company says. This pure water and abrasive cutting equipment is said to ensure precise cuts without any heat-affected zone. The working area is 60 ″ × 24″ along with positioning accuracy on the X axis of ±0.001 inches per foot and Y axis of ±0.0007 inches per foot, allowing for complex cuts and small kerf widths for better material use as well as seamless nesting.

The Water cut

The waterjet features a maximum feed speed of 160 ipm with a repeatability of 0.0007 inches per foot. The unit comes with an integrated high-pressure 10-hp pump.
