FlowCUT Software

FlowCUT is the most advanced, state-of-the-art machine tool control system for abrasive waterjet in the industry. It integrates the operation of the ultrahigh-pressure pump, the PASER ECL Plus abrasive waterjet cutting head, and the X-Y cutting table. Features & Benefits Ability to cut parts that have features programmed in the Z-direction and in material with variable thickness (if machine has a programmable Z-axis) Easy, quick, surface quality specification Exclusive material cutting models assure high quality finished parts Speed capability for high speed water only cutting or thin material abrasive waterjet cutting in excess of 150 ipm (this feature utilizes the optional high speed PC controller card) Plate alignment function to compensate for plate rotation, angle or skew on cutting surface Kerf compensation with the ability to edit the offset path to perfect a complex part Automatically pierce all holes first at low pressure, then cut at high pressure for use during special piercing operations of brittle materials Integral control of high-pressure pump, water, and abrasive controls (on multiple head machine, all are controlled at same time) Further evolved and advanced cutting models for increased part quality and cutting productivity including speed control for lead-ins and lead-outs Supports tabbed parts from FlowPATH Supports common line, multiple head nesting and cut part avoidance from other FlowMaster modules
