CNC Water Jet Controllers: Cut with FlashCut’s Precision Controls and Integrated Waterjet Nesting Software

Go from design to tool path to full CNC water jet control, including advanced cornering, pump, and abrasive controls. The FlashCut CNC water jet cutting process provides everything you need in a high performance control system to streamline the creation of precision parts. Our automatic placement of lead-ins along with our ability to automatically nest parts makes tool path generation a snap.

Our Features for CNC Waterjet Cutting

• Corner slowdown and small arc slowdown
• Multiple pierce options: straight, wiggle, circular
• Corner looping for clean corners
• Support for low pressure mode for glass, marble and other delicate materials prevents cracking
• Separate pierces and cuts
• Adjustable control of low and high-pressure of water and abrasive
• Support the operation of multiple simultaneous waterjets fab-heads
• Advanced formula calculates cut parameters based on material, thickness, abrasive and pump pressure
• Torque based zero sensing (Servo Only)

How does a CNC Water Jet work?

Waterjet cutting machines use a high-pressure jet of water or a combination of water and an abrasive substance to cut a wide variety of materials. CNC waterjet cutting is an excellent CNC application that produces extremely accurate parts. You can cut materials of any type, such as metal, plastic, wood, foam, glass, granite, and even food.

Advantages of CNC Water Jet Cutting

• Can cut into virtually any kind of material
• Does not overheat the material adjacent to the cut thus maintaining its form.
• Produces no hazardous waste
• Highly accurate
• Clean cut that normally does not require secondary finishing
• Can cut thick materials

FlashCut offers tailored controls for other 2D cutting technologies such as plasma, oxyfuel, and laser.
