Micro Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Machines
MIcro Abrasive Machine Models: Micro
High Precision Cutting Tool for Fine Parts and Micro Components
The Micro machine is a precision system based on fine abrasive waterjet technology (FAWJ) mainly used in the electronics, medical, biotechnology, fine mechanics and jewellery sectors. It is specifically designed and built with high end components to enable it to cut at high precision with extreme tolerances meaning you can cut fine details with very little material loss. A powerful control system enables capability to fully use the highly dynamic motion system.
Key Benefits
Narrow Cuts, Extreme Tolerances and Abrasive Cutting Advantages
The Fine Abrasive Waterjet (FAWJ) process is a refinement of the already proven Abrasive WaterJet (AWJ) process, whereby the advantages are applied to Micro applications. It’s use in the micro segment, where wall thicknesses in part profiles can be as little as 0.2mm benefits from the cold process where mechanical properties of the material are not affected by heat and there is no thermal distortion as is found with the laser process.Fast Production Times
Products such as rubber extrusion dies that require tolerances no greater than 10µm can be produced much faster in materials up to 12mm thick in tool steel at a magnitude of 10x faster. • In addition, media is accelerated into a focused cutting beam travelling at over 600m/sec to erode the material into the shape dictated by the CAD design allowing the efficient production of single piece parts with almost no set-up time when changing jobs or material types.Compliments EDM and Micro Laser Processes
• Fast set up with little or no fixturing requirement
• Virtually any material, no need for electrical conductivity such as with EDM
• No heat effected zone, as with Laser
• Composite materials
• Wide thickness range of materialsLow Material Erosion
The technology allows water jet cutting with low material erosion, leaving practically no burr and no heat-effected zones. Thanks to the option to cut thin layers of material, pliant structures can be created and material failure due to structural fatigue can be eliminated.
