segment . In combination with standard heavyduty supports , this makes MasterCut suitable for one- to two-shift operation , even for difficult cutting tasks .
StM Waterjet is a provider of waterjet cutting systems with offices in Eben , Austria ; Schweinfurt in Germany and Reiden in Switzerland . It has developed the OneClean modular system . The abrasives recycling module of the OneClean system makes it possible to recycle more than half of the garnet for additional cutting tasks , it told ISMR . Waterjet cutting systems include the MicroCut , EcoCut , MasterCut and PremiumCut .
Swift-Cut Automation offers the Swift-Jet , its waterjet cutting solution .
“ The Swift-Jet , with its easy-to-use software , and powered by Hypertherm HyPrecision pumps , can cut a wide range of materials and is the answer to affordable , high precision , high-quality , in-house cutting ,” said the manufacturer .
Resato International ’ s product range includes high-pressure technology waterjet cutting systems as well as components and systems for testing , injection and control that operate up to 14,000 bars . Its modular waterjet cutting solutions include the ACM- 2015 waterjet cutting machine . This machine is equipped with a three- / five-axis cutting head and is powered by a waterjet intensifier pump ( type PJ4-4000 ).
The Resato Job manager , Resato EMS monitoring software and the Job Manager module ensure that multiple cutting jobs can be programmed . The EMS monitoring software monitors the cutting process 24 / 7 . Products also include the double intensifier pump and the abrasive continuous supply mini .
The StM Waterjet Group presented its new EcoCut and MasterCut waterjet cutting systems at the Blechexpo trade show is Stuttgart , Germany , at the end of last year .
New features of the STM EcoCut include the improved STM lance flushing system , installed for the first time in the version for abrasive waterjet cutting . Accumulated abrasive sand is transported out of the cutting basin without using any wear-prone mechanical systems . The layout of the cutting unit has been optimised to reduce all types of vibrations , and space- -saving design with an overall height of 2.1 metres enables operation in confined spaces .
The newly developed control panel , with compact and ergonomic design , uses STM SmartCut software . For this entry-level model , STM offers STM-Care packages with customised content and a warranty period of up to eight years .
New features of the STM MasterCut include a rugged , premium rack and pinion drive for XY repetition accuracy of ± 0.03mm . – For the first time , the automatic STM TAC12 angular error compensation head is available in the mid-price
