Our new Flow
Mach 3 Water Jet Cutting System features a full 6’
x 12’ sheet capacity and can accommodate almost any material,
from shim stock to 6" plate. This includes all ferrous
and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and ceramics. We are able
to offer repeatable net part tolerances of +/- .002 on any material
up to one inch thick and +/-.005 - .010 on thicker material.
The Mach 3 dynamic head provides a clean and
straight, noninvasive edge on cut surfaces that resembles glass
beading and eliminates a majority of post-process finishing.
The 87K intensifier pump yields 50% faster pierce times and
cut speeds that are twice as fast as our previous machine.

More
versatile than other processes: wide range of materials
Cuts most materials, including metals, plastics, stone, glass,
foam, ceramics. Because there is no heat and no work induced
stress incurred in the cutting process, almost any material
is suitable for water jet cutting.
-
Fits
well with other types of material processing
Water Jet, either abrasive or straight water, can be used as
a partner for other processes in fabrication and machining.
It even makes an excellent mate for lasers, providing superior
quality on aluminum and high finish materials, as well as extending
the thickness range on conventional materials such as stainless
steel.
-
Environmentally
safe and clean
There are no chemicals, gases or noxious liquids used in the
cutting process. Abrasive cutting uses garnet (a high grade
sand) as the abrasive, resulting in a very clean process that
is preferable to other methods of cutting in terms of environmental
impact and resulting disposal of by-products and waste water.
Advantages
of Water Jet Cutting:
Speed
Accuracy
Savings
Lower operating and maintenance costs
