Flow International Corporation (NASDAQ: FLOW – News), High-speed, accurate cutting is now achievable on an affordable waterjet system. The Mach 2c, the newest member of the Flow Mach Series waterjet line, is now available with Dynamic Waterjet® taper compensation. Dynamic Waterjet was previously only available on Flow’s advanced Mach 3 and Mach 4 waterjet systems.
Dynamic Waterjet produces faster, more accurate parts by adjusting taper angle with speed. Stream lag and taper are inherent issues in all waterjet cutting, previously only minimized by reducing cut speed. Dynamic Waterjet with Active Tolerance Control™ counters taper and stream lag using advanced SmartStream™ mathematical models. More than just a tilting cutting head, SmartStream technology changes the angle dynamically, based on cut speed, producing a better part in less time.
“The new Mach 2c with Dynamic Waterjet allows our customers to expand their applications to higher precision work.” comments Chip Burnham, vice president of marketing for Flow International Corporation. “The precision motion system is capable of up to 800 ipm travel while maintaining tight tolerances. Paired with our Dynamic Waterjet, we expect the Mach 2c to be a new workhorse for the waterjet machine tool industry,”
Released in 2011, the Mach 2c Waterjet system is available with multiple cutting head options including; pure waterjet, standard abrasive waterjet, and now Dynamic Waterjet.
