WMC2 Waterjet Machine Tools

Unparalleled Flexibility in a Single Waterjet Today, flexibility in manufacturing is key to maintaining a competitive edge and tapping into new markets. To keep you competitive, Flow designed the WMC2, a flexible waterjet cutting machine that is ideal for high-production, high-speed cutting, or low production runs and the high job variations common to just-in-time manufacturing or job shop and contract production environments. Its modular design allows for unique configurations and customization to meet a variety of individual needs now and in the future. Simply put, the flexibility and modular design of Flow's WMC2 will help you realize lower operating costs through reduced maintenance requirements, round-the-clock uptime, and FlowLink remote technical support combined with a worldwide service network. Superior Waterjet Cutting Performance The WMC2 delivers all the benefits of an abrasive waterjet cutting system such as the ability to cut parts out of almost any material metal, stone, plastics, composites, glass, ceramics, or rubber up to 8 inches thick with no heat-affected zone and superior edge quality. All of this is achieved with minimal tooling, fixturing and set up. Best of all, the WMC2 is powered by FlowMaster, Flow's intelligent Windows-based control system, making it remarkably easy to use. Highly accurate, taper free parts as a result of Dynamic Waterjet technology Highest possible productivity with the fastest cut speeds and a field proven, reliable design Lowest operating cost through optimal abrasive usage Modular design can adapt as your needs change Ability to machine virtually any material and thickness Easy to operate and quick to learn Dedicated worldwide service network for rapid response time with Active Tolerance Control or QuickLift pneumatic Z cutting head PASER ECL Plus abrasive waterjet cutting system with automatic abrasive feed FlowMaster Windows-based control and programming (Siemens CNC also available) Mobile FlowMaster control pedestal Choice of 60,000 psi intensifier or 55,000 psi HyPlex pumps CleanCut material support system with rapid water level control for clean, quiet underwater cutting Separate catcher tank and motion system for increased accuracy and robustness FlowLink remote technical support Choice of Flow intensifier pump: 4,130 bar/60,000 psi continuous operating pressure or HyPlex direct drive pumps with 3,750 bar/55,000 psi continuous operating pressure in powers ranging from 25hp to 200hp WaterVeyor abrasive removal system (optional) Stainless steel cover package (optional) Net Cutting Area and Speed Sizes/Work Envelope - X-axis (bridge) and Y-axis (base): 2 meter bridge: - 2 m x 2 m - 2 m x 3 m - 2 m x 4 m 3 meter bridge: - 3 m x 2 m - 3 m x 3 m - 3 m x 4 m 4 meter bridge: - 4 m x 2 m - 4 m x 3 m - 4 m x4 m Other sizes available with bases up to 6 m and longer Z-axis Conventional: 250 mm pneumatic-actuated QuickLift axis Z-axis Dynamic Waterjet: 200 mm motorized axis Cutting Heads: Up to 4, or 2 Dynamic Waterjet Rapid Transverse Maximum: 35 m/min Contouring Range: 0-25 m/min Machine Positional Specifications (per linear axis at 20
