The FLOW CTEWJ is a water jet cutting machine, produced by EAM, designed to work on a wide range of materials such as metals, marble, granite and glass, with precision and speed, thanks to the powerful jet pump high pressure water. This model, built in 2012, is ideal for industrial applications where a clean cut without thermal stress is required, reducing the deformation of the treated materials to a minimum.
Main features of the FLOW CTEWJ :
- High pressure pump : The machine is equipped with a powerful pump for water jet cutting, capable of generating pressures above 4000 bar, which allow it to cut even thick and hard materials such as steel and stone.
- Cutting precision : Thanks to waterjet technology, cutting occurs without generating heat, maintaining the structural integrity of the materials. This makes the machine suitable for cutting delicate and thick materials with great precision.
- Useful dimensions : The working dimensions of the machine are large, allowing it to process large slabs. The useful cutting length can reach 3000 mm, with a width of 1500 mm, while the maximum cutting thickness depends on the type of material, but usually reaches 100 mm for soft materials such as aluminum and up to 20 mm for l 'steel.
- Solid and robust structure : The machine is built with a robust metal structure, designed to minimize vibrations during operation, increasing the life of the machine itself and the quality of the cut.
- Computer Numerical Control (CNC) : Equipped with an advanced CNC control system, the FLOW CTEWJ allows easy and precise programming, with high repeatability for performing complex cuts.
Usage procedure:
- Preparation : Before starting cutting, it is necessary to load the material on the work table and secure it firmly. The CNC software allows you to load the cutting design directly, reducing setup times.
- Cutting : Once the machine is configured, the high pressure pump sends the jet of water mixed with abrasive sand (known as garnet abrasive) onto the surface of the material to be cut. The movement is precisely controlled by CNC motors.
- Post-processing : Once cutting is completed, the pieces are extracted and can be further processed depending on the needs of the production process.
Compatible accessories:
The FLOW CTEWJ can be equipped with various accessories to optimize the cutting process. Some of these include:
- Automatic navigation system for complex cuts.
- Replacement water tanks with filtration systems to ensure the water flow is always clean and free of debris.
- High quality abrasive specific to optimize the cut based on the chosen material.
Maintenance:
Maintenance of this machine is relatively simple, thanks to its robust construction and automatic monitoring systems. It is essential to periodically check pump pressure levels, replace water filters and monitor abrasive wear. Regular cleaning of the cutting head is equally important to maintain high cutting quality.
Sectors of use:
The FLOW CTEWJ is used in numerous industrial sectors:
- Metallurgical industry : for cutting metals such as steel, aluminum and titanium.
- Stone industry : to cut marble, granite and semi-precious stones with great precision.
- Glass sector : for cutting glass of various sizes and thicknesses without compromising its quality.
- Aerospace and automotive : for cutting special materials, such as high-strength alloys.
Advantages of buying used:
Buying a used machine like the FLOW CTEWJ is an advantageous choice for those who want to save on the initial cost without compromising quality. CNC waterjet cutting machines tend to last many years, especially if well maintained, and purchasing a used example in good condition allows you to get high performance at an affordable price. It is always important to check the general condition of the machine and previous maintenance, ensuring that it has been regularly inspected and maintained.
By purchasing a FLOW CTEWJ , the company can increase its production capacity without a heavy initial investment, using a machine that offers precision and reliability.
