FOCUS ON WATERJET
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, laser and 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 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 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 waterjet cutting nozzle or the part is treated under a static waterjet. TamCut is a compact waterjet cutting machine that can cut most materials. The company also supplies high-pressure pumps, garnet abrasive and spare parts.

StM Waterjet Group is a provider of waterjet cutting systems with offices in Eben, Austria; Schweinfurt in Germany and Reiden in Switzerland. Each of its systems can be used for pure water, abrasive or combined cutting processes so that all machines can cut a wide variety of materials without conversion. Parallel cutting( 2D) with up to twelve cutting heads is also possible.
The STM 3D, five-axis cutting head.
Its systems are manufactured in series, pre-installed, tested and usually delivered in container format. The STM bevel cut compensation cutting head is the STM TAC / 12( offering automatic skew compensation).
The Swift-Jet Pro 3000 waterjet cutting system.
Swift-Cut Automation offers the Swift- Jet Pro as its waterjet cutting solution. It can cut metal up to 50mm thick and low-density materials up to 100mm thick. The underwater cutting system( adjustable water level) means less noise and less mess. It also features high- / low- pressure control for piercing brittle material. It comes with a touchscreen HMI with optical mouse control.
TCI Cutting, a Spanish manufacturer of laser and waterjet cutting machines and intelligent automation systems, also develops intelligent production management software for autonomous and strategic decision-making( TCI Manager). It offers a wide range of waterjet cutting systems( bridge and arm).
TECHNI Waterjet manufactures waterjet cutting solutions for the metals, composites, glass and stone industries.
Now part of Biesse, it has introduced the new Intec™G2 abrasive waterjet series of CNC machines. Versatile cutting allows users to cut multiple material types on the same bed without having to change tooling. A
