FOCUS ON WATERJET CUTTING
The EcoCut model from StM Waterjet .
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 .
StM Waterjet GmbH 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 .
Its waterjet cutting systems include the StM MicroCut , StM EcoCut , StM MasterCut and StM PremiumCut . The StM TAC / 12 bevelcut compensation cutting head is designed for precision , speed and the efficient use of resources in waterjet cutting .
Its EcoCut 4.0 waterjet cutting system features overall height of less than 2m , a working area accessible from three sides and above / below water cutting .
Swift-Cut Automation offers the Swift-Jet Pro , its waterjet cutting solution , along with the Pro , HP and HVAC Pro models . Its new Swift-Jet Pro 1500 compact waterjet made its first public appearance at its UK Open House this November .
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 ). This software improves production in the industrial sheet- metal cutting sector through intelligent communication systems machine-to-machine and machine-to-person , in an environment of integral automation and digital transformation .
Its BP-H COMBI cutting machine integrates , in a single machine , water cutting technology and HD plasma cutting . This machine incorporates the 5x Direct Drive 4.0 Infinite Loop ® five-axis cutting head , which allows infinite rotation without rewinding in three-dimensional cuts , a height regulator , an anti-collision system and automatic sludge extraction , among other features .
TECHNI Waterjet manufactures water jet cutting solutions for the metals , composites , glass and stone industries . Now part of the GMM Group , it controls the entire waterjet
process in-house with its own developed servo-driven pump and five-axis cutting head and holds several patents on its technologies . Its Electric Servo Pump is designed to be efficient and quiet .
“ Our new Intec-G2 ® waterjet machine cuts parts up to 12 ” thick in most materials . Simple to use , its versatile cutting allows users to cut multiple material types on the same bed without having to change tooling ,” it explained . “ Our Quantum NXT™ Series pump incorporates technology from the NASA space shuttle programme , making it 60 % more efficient than standard hydraulic intensifiers .”
The Intec™G2 Abrasive Waterjet Series range includes the i35-G2 ; i510-G2 ; i713-G2 ; i815-G2 ; i1020-G2 and i1033-G2 machines . A remote-control pendant ( MPG ) allows users to manually wind forward or backward through a cutting path . Its PAC60™ five-axis cutting head is designed to produce parts with a true angle up to +/ -60 degrees .
Uhde High Pressure Technologies GmbH ( belonging to thyssenkrupp ) has been designing and manufacturing ultra-highpressure pumps for pressures of up to 14,000 bar for industrial use for almost half a century . Its high-pressure pumps , the core element of the waterjet cutting system , with stepless working pressures of up to 6,000 bar are implemented in many industrial sectors , from the food industry to aerospace .
Water Jet Sweden , based in Ronneby ( southern Sweden ), is a well-known waterjet cutting specialist with over 100 different waterjet cutters from entry level 2D machines and micro processing to large machines for large and odd sizes of material , with its fiveyear performance warranty .
It develops , designs and builds industrial
TCI Cutting ’ s BP-H COMBI waterjet / HD plasma cutting machine .
