Waterjet Programming Software (features)

Standard

Simply the industry standard for waterjet cutting
Software offers advanced speed optimization allowing the user to combine fast production with an excellent cutting result on a wide range of materials
The Kerf width is dynamically changed depending on actual speed to help maintain incredible accuracy no matter what you are cutting
Machinability calculator – use to determine the optimum cutting speeds on materials not held in the material library
Abrasive toolsets built in
3-axis CAM
Customisable cutting rules – Optimise cutting parameters for best cutting performance
53 shape parametric library comes as standard
Make estimations for cutting cost and material cost
View job reports in Word or PDF formats
Customisable toolsets – Modify or create toolsets for new materials
Create quick access commands for personalised fast navigation within the software

CAD/CAM

Options

Dynamic nesting
Ability to convert all TrueType fonts to usable geometrical information using the ImageTracer command
Also generate new geometry from a camera or scanner device or import a picture then create a new layer and draw over the picture to create new geometry
Create geometry from an old CNC file with the NC-Reader
Geometry clean up corrects double lines, overlapped objects or gaps between objects

Hammelmann Direct Drive Pump

The quality of the German designed and built Hammelmann pump is indisputable. The stainless-steel pump head is free of alternating stress and the crank section calculation by ‘Finite element method’ ensures its long working life under continuous load. The Hammelmann plunger pump converts 93% to 98% of the shaft power to hydraulic energy making it energy efficient. In fact, it is up to 30% more energy efficient than compared to other waterjet systems and has much longer service intervals (up to 2000 hours)

We have put together a comprehensive list of materials our Swift-Jet Pro waterjet can cut, along with some that are not suitable. We understand that there will be many materials not included but that does not mean waterjet will not be suitable, please feel free to contact us to discuss your individual requirements and arrange a sample cut.
