Large Scale 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting Machines
Large Scale 5-Axis Machine Models: FiveX, FiveX Ultra
Front Line Machine Technology for Advanced Free Form Cutting of 3D Components.
FiveX machines are commonly used in high tech industry sectors, built with our most advanced technology and with an exceptional stable design to be able to repeatedly perform high precision free form cutting of full 3D components.
Large-scale 5-axis processing allows the advantages of the waterjet process to be utilised in the finishing of fabricated structures, pressed parts, molded composite parts and other 3-D parts.
The FiveX waterjet machines are used largely by the Defense Industry, Space Industry, Aerospace Industry and Power Industry. Major aero engine manufacturers use FiveX machines to produce apertures in fabrications manufactured from titanium then finish machined. This removes stress distortions so edges are left without heat affected zones and in a non-work hardened state.
The NEW FiveX Ultra is more compact and suitable for high-tech mechanical workshops in general. Designed materials such as Hardened Steel, Titanium, Kevlar and Carbon Fibre can easily be cut to precise form. Applications include trimming of molded parts into their final shape such as underneath military vehicles and high security vehicles.
FiveX Ultra
Making Advanced Waterjet Cutting Available to a Broader Market
The FiveX Ultra machine concept is best described as a compact and standardised version of the top-of-the-line machine model Five X. FiveX Ultra is designed for businesses with the ambition to breoaden their cutting capacity and offer more from 2D to complete 3D cutting. If ther eis a emand for complex parts or advanced processing. FiveX Ultra can do the job.
Key Benefits:
Compact Design
Functions like the water level adjustment are integrated into the machine design to offer a complete workstation that requires less floorspace.Performance Enhancements
TFeatures like the new carbon fibre Z-unit, a new compact ± 120° cutting tool, and a lighter X-beam design enhance performance for consistent accuracy.Improved Operability
Designed to have full access in front and back with transparent covers for visibility. The covers are servo controlled and integrated with Fanuc Dual Safety Check which offers the best operator security in the market.

FiveX
Ideal for Repeat Precision 5-Axis Cutting of 3D Components
Our 5-Axis water jet cutting machines are built with the most advanced technology and an exceptionally stable design to enable repeat performance of high precision free form water jet cutting of full 3D components. Machines are delivered with Mastercam CAD/CAM 3D software. Alignment of 3D shapes is made through automatic routines using a Renishaw probe, eliminating the risk of misalignment on the machine.
Key Benefits:
Free Form 3D Cutting
Utilise free form cutting with an exceptionally long Z-movement up to 1500 mm, specially designed fixturing tables on request.Intelligent Probe Interface
The Work Piece Indicator (Renishaw Probe Interface) is fully integrated with a large library of pre-designed measurement cycles, and customised measurement cycles can be delivered as an option.Robust Build with Generous Working Area
With Z-Axis capacities up to 1500mm and with 4m x 6m available as standard in X and Y respectively, a generous working area is provided with plenty of area for the cutting head to travel around the part.Enhanced Safety
FiveX water jet cutting machines cut in all directions so the machine has full size wall design and automated, stainless steel side and frontal protection providing a fully protected working zone for the operator.
