Huntersville, North Carolina – Micro Waterjet LLC has expanded their line of precision waterjet cutting machines to include the micro waterjet C4 . This new model incorporates all of the precision features of the original waterjet machine into a unit with a smaller footprint. Shops where available floor space was a concern or where wider substrates aren't necessary can now include the micro waterjet C4 in their operations with ease.
"The micro waterjet C4 is ideal for specific applications and in research and laboratory work," said Steve Parette, managing director, Micro Waterjet LLC. "Operations that do not require wide substrates or have limited space and budget available will especially benefit from this technology. This system provides the flexibility for fast prototyping or just-in-time production."
The C4 features a footprint of 1,500mm x 1,800mm and travel range for X/Y axes of 540mm x 320mm and 50mm for Z-axis. Precision is key with the micro waterjet C4. With a positioning accuracy of ± 0.003 mm, cutting accuracy of ±0.01mm (depending on material and thickness) and kerf width of 0.2mm (0.008"), users are assured of part-to-part consistency. And, a narrow kerf width, minimal burr on the cutting edge, and little to no rework (finishing) results in higher quality and faster production.
The micro waterjet C4 provides high cutting speeds with utmost accuracy and surface quality equivalent to N7 or Ra1.6μm. Low cutting forces and no thermal impact maintain the integrity of the material’s structure. Users will have the ability to cut a wide range of materials from rubber to hard alloys.
