Beyond Thermal Cutting

Material Freedom

From Metals to Stone & Plastics
Process virtually any material with high precision, from metals and stone to plastics, rubber, foam, PTFE, glass and composite materials, without a heat-affected zone.

Precision Beveling

Up to 45°
Create accurate V, A, Y, X and K bevels with exceptional contour accuracy, with taper and stream lag compensation. Add bevels to already straight-cut parts with ABP®.

3D cuttingDrillingMarkingPipes

Multi-Technology, incl. Pipes

Add Plasma, Tapping & More
Combine waterjet with plasma, plasma bevel, tapping and marking, with automatic switching between technologies – even all on a single part.

See It in Action

Precision Waterjet in Motion

Watch dynamic waterjet cutting in aluminium, from straight cuts to constant and variable V and A bevels. Taper compensation, smooth edges, and precise bevels thanks to ACTG®.

Features

Engineered for Advanced Waterjet Production

Dynamic process control, precision beveling, powerful CAD/CAM and smart automation. From flat parts to 3D shapes.

Smart Process Control

Rigid machine design, high-torque drives and precision gearboxes combine with intelligent motion control, abrasive feed control and automatic abrasive-flow monitoring.

Taper Compensation

Dynamic 2.5D head tilting up to +7° compensates for jet deviation, taper and dynamic kerf changes to ensure perpendicular cut accuracy.

Beveling up to 45°

Cut parts with complex V, A, Y, X, K bevels – you can even use two bevel heads simultaneously. Features continuous height control for true dimensional accuracy.

ACTG® Calibration

ACTG® automatically measures bevel-head geometry and compensates X, Y and Z deviations across the operating range, reducing manual adjustment and downtime.

Additional Beveling

ABP® lets you add bevels to already straight-cut parts, while ABC automatically compensates process-related deviations in bevel angles.

Dynamic Piercing

Adapt piercing parameters such as nozzle distance, water pressure and abrasive flow for reliable piercing of demanding materials and applications.

5 Cutting Qualities

Balance cutting speed, edge finish and cutting cost with 5 preset cutting qualities – from the fastest cut to the finest edge finish.

IGEMS CAD/CAM

The leading waterjet CAD/CAM solution features advanced nesting, contour and speed optimization, dynamic tilting, multi-technology support and more.

Abrasive Removal

Automatically remove used abrasive and cut-material particles from the water tank into a Big Bag, reducing manual cleaning to approximately once a year.

3D Pipe/Profile Cutting

Process pipes and hollow sections with waterjet or plasma, programming complex 3D shapes directly from STEP models.

Automation & Material Handling

Ready for Autonomous Operation

Automate material flow with automatic loading, unloading and material transfer integrated into your factory workflow.

Automatic Loading & Unloading

Automatic Shuttle Tables

Move material into and out of the cutting zone automatically, reducing manual handling and simplifying loading and unloading around the waterjet tank.

Efficient Material Transfer

Smart Zone Management

Separate loading, unloading and cutting zones while enabling synchronous multi-head cutting for a continuous production flow.

Connected Material Flow

Integrated Material Transfer

Utilize automatic loading and unloading at the waterjet workplace with manipulators, conveyors and lifting systems, integrated into your workflow.

MSLoop

Connected Material Flow

Integrate material storage, waterjet cutting and downstream processing with MicroStep or third-party equipment for automated production.

Waterjet Machines

Waterjet Built Around
