FOCUS ON WATERJET CUTTING says Intermac, eliminates the errors due to rotating axis reverse clearance in traditional methods, and also guarantees a constant supply of abrasive material.
Jetcam provides award-winning nesting automation software for CNC punch, laser, plasma, oxy-fuel, waterjet and routing machines.
Jet Edge, Inc. manufactures complete systems for precision waterjet cutting, mobile waterjet cutting and UHP cleaning and surface preparation applications, as well as accessories. Models include the Edge- X-3 mid-rail gantry waterjet, the Edge X-5 fiveaxis mid-rail waterjet and the Edge Dual- Carriage Mid Rail WaterJet with Aquavision DI Controller. The latter model allows users to deploy two three-axis cutting heads, two five-axis cutting heads or even one of each, doubling the throughput. Each carriage operates independently, doubleteaming a single part or cutting two like parts simultaneously. Additional features include lights-out cutting and IGEMS nesting software.
Its JetStart series waterjets feature HERO- 50 intensifier pumps. Its Edge X3-HR( threeaxis High Rail WaterJet) and Edge X5-HR( five-axis High Rail WaterJet) also feature the Aquavision DI Controller. It also offers a wide range of waterjet pumps, including hydraulic intensifier pumps and direct drive pumps.

The KMT Waterjet Cut Calculator 2.0 App, with an on-demand webinar, incorporates 25 materials and offers a wider range of substrate thicknesses, horsepower, orifice sizes and abrasive rates. It is available at Google Play and the Apple Store for free.
Libellula offers CAD / CAM systems for laser, plasma, oxy-fuel and waterjet cutting machines. With Libellula. CUT, operators can program waterjet machines, saving material and reducing time and difficulties via the high level of automation.
Metallbau Müller GmbH( MBM) has developed a combination of abrasive sludge suction and cutting water treatment, which is also suitable for smaller waterjet cutters and complies, it told ISMR, with European wastewater introduction regulations. Its MBM MEWAB is a combination sludge extraction system for waterjet cutting systems with a new filter unit. It has been developed primarily for small cutting systems with an abrasive consumption of up to 500g / minute.
MicroStep, a manufacturer of CNCcontrolled cutting systems, celebrated its thirty-year anniversary in 2021. The company develops and produces plasma, oxyfuel, laserand waterjet cutting systems. Its waterjet cutters include the AquaCut and WaterCut series. It also offers tested automation solutions, from material handling around the cutting system to picking and sorting of cut parts.
At EuroBLECH 2024 in Hanover, it presented its new WaterCut waterjet cutting system equipped with a 3D rotator that enables precise bevel cuts of up to 45 ° on a wide variety of materials. It also displayed a newly developed 2D cutting head with ABC technology, enabling cone compensation of ± 5 °.
Muototerä is a family-owned Finnish company, specialising in waterjet cutting technology through its FinJet and TamCut brands. The FinJet R series covers all robotic integrated waterjet cutting systems. The cutting system has two main work principles: either the robot has an integrated waterjetcutting nozzle or the part is treated under a static waterjet. TamCut is a compact waterjetcutting machine that can cut most materials. The company also supplies high-pressure pumps, garnet abrasive and spare parts.
