New, Smaller Microwaterjet Machine Introduced



Micro Waterjet LLC has expanded its line of Precision Waterjet Cutting Machines to include the new microwaterjet C4. This new model incorporates all of the precision features of the original waterjet machine into a unit with a smaller footprint. Shops where available floor space was a concern or where wider substrates are not necessary can now include the microwaterjet C4 in their operations with ease.

"The microwaterjet C4 is ideal for specific applications and in research and laboratory work," said Steve Parette, Managing Director, Micro Waterjet LLC. "Operations that do not require wide substrates or have limited space and budget available will especially benefit from this technology. This system provides the flexibility for fast prototyping or just-in-time production."

The C4 features a footprint of 1,500 mm x 1,800 mm and travel range for X/Y axes of 540 mm x 320 mm and 50 mm for Z-axis. "Precision is key with the microwaterjet C4," said a company spokesperson. "With a positioning accuracy of ±0.003 mm, cutting accuracy of ±0.01 mm (depending on material and thickness) and kerf width of 0.2 mm (0.008"), users are assured of part-to-part consistency. A narrow kerf width, minimal burr on the cutting edge and little to no rework (finishing) results in higher quality and faster production."

The microwaterjet C4 is designed to provide high cutting speeds with accuracy and surface quality equivalent to N7 or Ra1.6 µm. Low cutting forces and no thermal impact maintain the integrity of the material's structure. Users will have the ability to cut a wide range of materials from rubber to hard alloys.
