Flow to Demonstrates at AeroDef 2011

Flow International Corporation will conduct live demonstrations of waterjet technology at AeroDef, an exposition for aerospace and defense manufacturers held at the Anaheim, California Convention Center, April 5-7, 2011, booth #1366. Waterjets are becoming a standard machine tool for these industries because of their accuracy and the nearly unlimited range of materials they can cut without changing the material’s mechanical properties.

The Flow booth will feature the advanced Mach 4 waterjet that combines Flow’s HyperJet pump, with 45% more cutting pressure than standard systems, and Dynamic XD, high-precision flat stock and 3D cutting technology.
Flow's HyperJet pump is rated at 94,000psi, delivering a stream of water at nearly Mach 4, four times the speed of sound. Pressure equals productivity: waterjets equipped with HyperPressure systems cut up to 50% faster while using less abrasive than conventional waterjets. Parts are cut with a lower cost per part, and more jobs are completed in less time.

Flow invented Dynamic Waterjet in 2001, bringing unparalleled accuracy and speed to 2D cutting. Cut speed is increased 2 to 4 times faster than conventional abrasive waterjets while producing parts with far higher precision.  Now Flow brings that technology to bevel cutting and 3D parts with the patented Dynamic XD, enabling manufacturers to accurately cut a wide variety of intricate designs, often eliminating any secondary processing. This technology breakthrough will be demonstrated at AeroDef in booth #1366.
