Waterjet applications have classically been 3-axis. X-Y and Z and have limited the parts that could be cut with a waterjet even if using water would be better, faster and cheaper. With the addition of 5-axis cutting difficult waterjet jobs that conventional X-Y-Z machines could not do are now possible. Multi-Axis surfaces, tapered edges or accurate non-tapered edges, casting flash removal and many other parts can now be completed using a waterjet machine.
The inherent design of the hexapod, along with the straightforward construction, contributes to exceptional mechanical ruggedness. The hexapod is easily guarded against mechanical contamination as well as maintaining operator safety. The modular construction also provides a high degree of flexibility. Integrating probes, vision systems, rotary tables, hoists, pick and place units, etc. into these processes is easily accomplished to apply to your needs.
