Flow International Corporation will run live demonstrations of three precision Mach Series waterjet cutting systems at IMTS 2014: the Mach 4c, Mach 3b and Mach 2c. Examples of the variety of pumps designed and manufactured by Flow will also be demonstrated and application specialists will be on hand to answer questions.
The Mach 4c features an expandable modular design (up to 14 m/48' in length), allowing customers to increase the size of the cutting area as their business grows. The system's exclusive roller pinion system is designed to provide fast, accurate cutting with zero backlash. The system is ergonomically designed to improve operator convenience and productivity with lighting to enhance workpiece visibility, efficient abrasive removal and easy access to material and parts with full four-sided accessibility. At IMTS, the Mach 4 will combine Flow's HyperJet pump, rated at 94,000 PSI, with dual cutting heads. Each cutting head will demonstrate Flow's patented Dynamic Waterjet technology with Active Tolerance Control designed for highly accurate cutting.
The Mach 3 system design combines motion control, high-pressure components and pump into one compact machine. At IMTS, the Mach 3b will combine an intensifier rated at 60,000 PSI and Dynamic Waterjet XD, high-precision flat stock and 3D cutting technology. The Dynamic Waterjet XD will demonstrate the newest in waterjet height sensing technology, the DynaBeam Laser Height Sensing System. DynaBeam is a non-contact material height sensing system and can be used in combination with both Dynamic Waterjet and Dynamic Waterjet XD for 2D and 3D bevel cutting.
The Mach 2c is designed to be a value-priced machine tool optimized for either pure or abrasive waterjet cutting. "Whether cutting 3 inch thick steel plate or multi-stacked gasket material, the Mach 2c provides fast and accurate cutting at an exceptional price," said a company spokesperson. Dynamic Waterjet is now available on the Mach 2c.
The Mach 2c will be shown with the new HyPlex Prime pump which has a modular design, allowing customized pump performance at a low production-level price, according to the company.
John Force and Robert Hight of John Force Racing will join Flow in booth N-6217 on Wednesday, September 10th for a signing. Flow first partnered with John Force Racing in 2012 when a Mach 4c was added to the shop for custom parts production.
