Knuth Machine Tools USA will feature the Hydro-Jet Eco 0615 S, a compact machine designed to offer high-precision, low cost waterjet cutting at IMTS 2010.
"The Hydro-Jet is designed to allow small business owners the ability to manage deadlines and quality control by bringing outsourced work in-house with minimal installation," said a company spokesperson. "This waterjet cutting solution offers distortion free, contour cutting on virtually any type of material including coated and uncoated metals, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, stone, marble, glass, ceramic, composites, plastic, rubber, foam and more.
"Equipped with a software package for quick programming on an integrated PC control with graphical user interface, the Knuth waterjet technology features a cold-cutting process which can eliminate thermal stress at the cut edges and ensure that the material structure is not altered because there is never any direct contact pressure applied to the cut material. Despite high kinetic energy, this pure-water and abrasive cutting equipment is designed to ensure high precision cuts without creating any fraying or burrs. Outfitted with a working area of 60 by 24 inches along with positioning accuracy on the X-axis of ±0.002 inches per foot and Y-axis of ±0.002 inches per foot, this waterjet allows for complex contour cuts and extremely small kerf widths for optimum material utilization and seamless nesting. |

Plus, this universal tool comes complete with a low maintenance, integrated high-pressure 10 hp pump.
"Knuth's Hydro-Jet technology generates virtually no cutting or grinding dust and no chips, smoke or toxic fumes during the production process."
