Flex Machine Tools recently had the opportunity to help a customer increase their efficiency and accuracy in waterjet cutting with a FlexJet waterjet. The new water-only cutting system delivers exceptional efficiency and accuracy, producing high-quality products faster and more effectively.

The FlexJet waterjet is designed to optimize production time and increase efficiency, featuring four auto-spaced cutting heads and .007″ nozzles that allow the customer to cut four parts simultaneously. The cantilever-style system moves with speed and precision along the 300″ x 80″ table, reaching speeds of up to 1,600 IPM on the X-axis. The system is powered by a reliable 50 HP 60,000 PSI intensifier pump, ensuring precise and clean cuts every time.

Flex Machine Tools is dedicated to providing the best cutting solutions to its customers. The FlexJet waterjet is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence, elevating the precision and efficiency of waterjet cutting for customers. If you’re looking to improve your cutting process, consider the FlexJet Waterjet. See our current FlexJet Waterjet offering here.

Auto Stand-Off – This is currently defined to be surface stand-off and not to be confused with vector stand-off in 5-axis mode. The current auto stand-off is based on a changing surface and will adjust vertically based on the angle of the “A” Axis, so there is five (5) axis taken into account during the calculations, but this is not the same as the tool vector stand-off. There is the ability to do the vector stand-off change while the machine is running manually with buttons on the screen.

Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.

Automatic Edge Finder – The edge finder is or can be utilized manually (Jogging Method & Screen Buttons), programmatically (M & G codes), or fully automatic routine (dedicated program). This option sets offsets & program rotation to match the orientation & location on the cutting table.

AC Unit Installed on Electrical Cabinet – The unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v) side. It is close to the location where the drives are mounted. This option keeps the cabinet temperature stable and allows heat dissipation faster. The servo drives for all axes are the most significant contributors to heat inside the electrical cabinet.

5-Axis Renishaw Calibration – The calibration unit is a Renishaw model APCA45 with a modified spherical stylus. The device has a retractable cover and air purge to clear debris & dust during the activation process. It mounts to a swing arm controlled by a pneumatic rotary, so it is out of the way during regular operation and swings into the calibration position for calibration only.
