Features & Advantages
Ideal for small batch / prototype work
Velden’s Waterjet Machining Center is quick to program and setup and does not require expensive fixtures or tooling.
Wide range of materials & thicknesses
All metals, composites, glass, plastics,
rubber, ceramics, marble, granite & armour plating.
Quality finish - Smooth, sandblasted finish - No rough edges, burrs or jagged ends
No heat or stress in machining process
The material is not heated up significantly during the cutting process and is ideal for materials that are affected or deformed by heat, such as titanium.
More than just a profile cutter – Can be used to create complex 3D shapes such as pre-production samples of ‘extrusion’ before investing in expensive tooling.
Installed Accessories
Tilt-A-Jet
The Tilt-A-Jet lets the JetMachining Center achieve virtually zero taper with most materials.
It positions the nozzle at an angle calculated by the software to exactly offset the taper from the abrasivejet. Taper doesn't disappear--it just gets moved to the scrap part of the material, leaving your part with exactly square edges.
Precision Optical Locator
The Precision Optical Locator uses modern compact video technology to precisely locate any points, edges or holes on a pre-machined component for secondary machining operations.
The software package then reorients the cutting program to precisely align with the located features.
