The Waterjet Cutting Specialists
 Endless Possibilities...
Waterjet
cutting technology is one of the fastest growing major machine
tool processes in the world due to its versatility and ease
of operation. Manufacturers are realizing that there are
virtually no limits to what waterjets are capable of cutting
and machining. Machine shops of all sizes are realizing
greater efficiency and productivity by implementing UHP
waterjets in their operations. Waterjets are becoming the
machine tool of choice for many shops. Since abrasive waterjet
(AWJ) technology was first invented by Flow in the early
1980s, the technology has rapidly evolved with continuous
research and development.
What makes waterjets so popular?
Waterjets require few secondary operations, produce
net-shaped parts with no heat-affected zone, heat distortion,
or mechanical stresses caused by other cutting methods,
can cut with a narrow kerf, and can provide better usage
of raw material since parts can be tightly nested. As a
result of the FlowMaster PC control system and intuitive
operation, waterjets are extremely easy to use. Typically,
operators can be trained in hours and are producing high
quality parts in hours. Additionally, waterjets can cut
virtually any material, leaving a satin-smooth edge. These
benefits add up to significant cost savings per part in
industries that have traditionally defined productivity
by cost per hour.
