2 Axis CNC Waterjet Machines SNM-WCS75

SNIC waterjet cutting systems are reliable, heavy duty and easy to maintain. Their higher efficiency and accuracy substantially reduce operating costs. In order to manufacture the best waterjet systems money can buy we have teamed with worldwide leading companies such as KMT, the company who invented waterjet cutting and has been leading the field in waterjet applications for over a quarter of a century.
The ACTIVE IDE cutting head is the most efficient, long lasting cutting head with the fewest possible parts on the market. The key advantages of the ACTIVE IDE I are the exact targeted cutting jet, the pre-filter protecting the orifice and the advanced nozzle valve design. The unit is also virtually maintenance-free.
As the cutting head contains a minimum number of components, it is particularly easy to handle. Its innovative design minimizes the jet stream width so that all impact energy is concentrated in the cutting tip of the jet. The result is a perfect and accurately positioned cut.
The diamond orifice and the mixing chamber are combined in a single nozzle body. Thanks to this user-friendly design, the focusing tube and the pre-filter, which are the only wear parts, can be exchanged easily and quickly.
The integrated diamond orifice far outperforms any sapphire orifice by ten to twenty times. The prolonged orifice life means longer uptime and thus more consistent precision cutting. This in turn helps increase the lifespan of the focusing tube and results in smoother cutting edges and less waste.
The newly developed pre-filter is installed between the HD line and the nozzle valve body in the adapter. It keeps impurities from cloggings the orifice which significantly prolongs the service life of the nozzle and lowers the operating costs.
Operators can quickly and easily change over from pure water cutting to abrasive cutting.
Orifice sizes : 0.25mm, 0.28mm, 0.33mm, 0.35mm.
The automatic stainless steel abrasive bulk transfer system enables the machine to work unattended for several hours.
Its abrasive metering assembly allows a visual check of the abrasive supply and provides very accurate metering control of the abrasive flow rate.
The very constant abrasive flow combined with the kinetics of the machine provides outstanding precise cutting and superior edge quality.
Axes are guided by high precision linear guides with a quadruple protection against dust, dirt and moisture.
The rails are treated to resist corrosion.
The machine is equipped with stainless steel covers for protection instead of textile bellows.
The double bridge provides greater stability thus allowing perfect precision of cut.
PLC controller with direct link to touch display showing operating system status, hour-meter, failure messages and comprehensive diagnostics for troubleshooting.
Touch screen control system in 8 languages freely selectable.
Variable displacement, pressure compensated hydraulic pump technology.
Standard dual pressure control facilitates hole piercing and kiss cut applications.
4136 bar operating pressure.
Sound insulated housing with see through top cover which opens on both sides.
Standard high pressure fluid or water leak detection.
Exclusive long slow stroke.
Long life seal design provides reliable and improved service life.
Patented Quick Plunger Removal without disassembly of the hydraulic cylinder.
Cartridge type hydraulic seal.
Water pressure booster and filtration system with 10-micron double-length filter.
High efficiency heat exchanger in independent recirculation pump circuit to cool all oil or air coolers.
High-pressure safety dump valve.
High-pressure accumulator (TUV approved).
Water inlet shut-off valve.
Separate water and oil drip pans.
Two-liter accumulator.
Upon customer request, SNIC waterjet systems can also be equipped with KMT Jetline or Streamline SL-V Standard or Streamline PRO intensifiers.
The intensifier generates a high pressure of up to 4136 bar, which is focused with high-speed water through a fine precious stone orifice. The jet stream velocity equals about 3 times the speed of sound. When cutting hard materials, garnet is added to the high-pressure water generating a high energy stream now containing water and abrasive.
Extremely fast transition from drawing to cutting.
Faster setup - low tangential forces often eliminate the need for clamping.
High accuracy - eliminates secondary cutting.
Fast cutting speed.
Eliminates the need to sharpen tools.
Safer for operators and the environment - avoids vapor, dust and smoke and does not require expensive coolants.
Cold cutting process - eliminates heat-affected zones, hardened material and material stresses.
Clean finished product eliminates secondary cleaning operations.
Burr-free finish - eliminates any need for secondary surface finishing for most applications.
Small kerfs.
Ideal for quick prototype, flexible production and proven for high volume production.
Optimum material utilization with CAD/CAM software.
Customized system solutions.
This cutting method is primarily used for cutting soft materials such as rubber, foam, gasket, leather, textiles, foodstuffs and many other similar materials.
Normal tap water is pressurized at ultra-high pressure levels and forced through a small precious stone orifice to form an intense cutting stream. The jet stream moves at a velocity of up to 3 times the speed of sound, creating the ability to cut at very high feed rates.
For your hard materials that cannot be machined with water only, the water nozzle nut is replaced with the IDE abrasive cutting head. The high velocity waterjet creates a vacuum which pulls the abrasive into a mixing chamber, producing a coherent, extremely energetic abrasive jet stream. This process is ideal for cutting intricate patterns in sheet metals, composites, decorative stone, synthetic ceramics, glass, etc.
