ABOUT FLOW WATERJET

Flow's story begins in the early 1970s when a group of former Boeing scientists rolled up their sleeves and founded Flow Research. They were the first to bring ultra-high-pressure (UHP) waterjet technology to the industrial cutting scene. Not long after, they crafted, patented, and fine-tuned the world's first abrasive waterjet system.
Flow is distributed and serviced in Australia by Performatec.

ADVANCED FEATURES

Looking to customise your Mach 500? We've got you covered with a range of optional addons that let you tailor the machine to fit your specific needs. Whether it's boosting performance or adding new capabilities, these options ensure your machine is as versatile as your workload demands.

- Dual Carriage Cutting Head (Opt.): For businesses that need to perform large-scale cutting tasks quickly, the Mach 500 offers an optional upgrade with a second carriage. This addition allows the system to execute cuts on both sides of the table at the same time, enhancing productivity.

- UltraPierce™ Vacuum Assist (Opt.): Flow's UltraPierce™ Vacuum Assist technology enhances waterjet cutting, allowing safe and precise piercing of brittle materials. It helps to prevent chipping by introducing abrasives into the jet stream right before cutting, eliminating the "water hammer" effect for a clean pierce.

- Industrial Chiller: For sustained productivity without pauses, we advise adding an industrial chiller to your setup. This device is crucial for keeping the pump cool during prolonged use or in hot conditions, ensuring your waterjet operates smoothly without any interruptions.

- FlowXpert Software: The Mach 500 comes standard with FlowMaster software, but for those requiring 5-axis cutting capabilities, FlowXpert® is the recommended upgrade. This integrated software simplifies 3D modelling and waterjet pathing, ensuring optimal efficiency.
