Colorado WaterJet Company (CWJ) has announced the addition of new 5-axis waterjet technology to its precision machining and fabrication services. The company's latest machine is the Mach 4C WaterJet from Flow.
The Flow Mach 4c's 5-axis capabilities provide up to 60° of motion to help provide faster, more intricate precision cutting of shapes, including interior cuts. According to the company, the machine is capable of shaping a variety of composite materials, regardless of thickness, including steel (mild, stainless, tool, high alloy, hardened), aluminum, titanium, brass, copper, bronze, Inconel, Hastelloy, tungsten, Invar and stone.
"The cold cutting process requires no heat and eliminates hardened edges, slag and warping," said a company spokesperson. "It allows for close nesting of parts for efficient use of material. The computerized, numerically controlled system significantly improves turnaround time and eliminates cutting and processing errors associated with non-waterjet systems."
"This technology is versatile and opens up many possibilities to our clients in various industries because we can offer highly precise machining of almost any material in any shape or size," said CWJ President Dan Nibbelink.
CWJ serves the commercial construction, machine shop, manufacturing, architecture and art/sculpture industries.
