WATERJETTHE VERSATILITY OF WATERJET

Expand Your Market Potential with Waterjet By MC Machinery Systems, Inc.

Job shops and manufacturers industry wide are discovering new ways to compete and expand

their business utilizing the versatility of Waterjet. Waterjet is easy to learn and program and can

cut any material up to 10" thick.

Waterjet machines are less expensive to buy and maintain than many traditional machine tools.

The cool cutting temperature leaves a smooth uniform surface with no heat-affected zone,

reducing or eliminating costly secondary finishing operations. Low cutting loads reduce the need

for complex fixturing and allow extremely intricate parts to be tightly nested and machined with

ease, resulting in reduced material waste and reduced cost.

THE PRECISION OF MITSUBISHI

A New Level of Sophistication

MC Machinery Systems, Inc. — the name you trust in EDM and Laser technology — is taking

the benefits of waterjet machining and adding a new level of accuracy and sophistication.

Traditional waterjet cutting is highly flexible but lacks the accuracy needed by high-precision

manufacturers. Waterjet By MC Machinery Systems, Inc. incorporates the precision of Mitsubishi

controls and servo system, opening the door for exciting new efficiencies and expanded material

capabilities sure to enhance your bottom line. Waterjet By MC Machinery Systems, Inc. is the

most accurate, productive and reliable machine on the market.

WATERJET COMES OF AgE

Expand Your Market Potential with Waterjet Technology

Although waterjet cutting technology has been around for many years, recent advances have enabled shops

in record numbers to take advantage of its power and flexibility.

Waterjet can cut materials traditional metal cutting shops can’t work with. Reflective metals, stone, glass,

ceramic, plastic, rubber and foam – virtually any material up to 10 inches thick. Multiple heads can be used

to cut more parts at the same time in a different part of the sheet. All this adds up to increased productivity

and a wider range of work from a relatively inexpensive machine tool that is easy to learn and operate.

Minimal Fixturing and Tooling

One of the best things about waterjet technology is its simplicity – ultra high-pressure water combined

with a garnet abrasive functions as the cutting tool. There’s no need to buy an automatic tool changer, full

of costly tools and replacement inserts. And because cutting loads are small, waterjet requires minimal

fixturing, making setup fast and changeover to other applications easy.

No Heat-Affected Zone

Waterjet is a cold cutting technology. There is no contact between the waterjet head and the part to be cut,

just the high pressure stream of water. This results in parts that come off the machine with clean edges,

unaffected by heat distortion or other mechanical stresses, which means a reduction or elimination of

secondary finishing operations.

The Mitsubishi MWX4

Our 5th generation MWX4 machine takes waterjet cutting to a new level. This machine is

the ultimate in multiple axes cutting combining speed and precision for shops looking for

accuracy and reliability. The MWX4 introduces our new Taper Control System. This system

is servo motor driven with more A Axis tilt angle and more rotate angle C Axis to allow for

even straighter parts in thicker material. The machine comes standard with a KMT PRO60

90,000 psi pump and offers the option to upgrade to the PRO125 90,000 psi pump. The

MWX4 machine is built with the customer in mind, as the independent tank design is separate

from the machine frame, ways and drive systems, so machining accuracy is not affected by

large or heavy workpieces, or the thermal expansion of the machine upon extreme operating

temperatures. Independent frame and tank design separates the machine frame, ways and

drive system from the worktank so machining accuracy is not affected by large or heavy

workpieces, or temperature.

SOFTWARE AND CONTROL

MITSUBISHI CONTROL AND METAMATION CAD-CAM SOFTWARE

Waterjet from MC Machinery Systems is taking waterjet technology to a new level of sophistication. The addition of

the 700 Series CNC control has taken a cost-effective, versatile technology and added a level of sophistication and

accuracy that makes it a viable option for shops that require extreme accuracy and the ability to produce more complex

parts. Competing manufacturers’ PC-based controls can’t touch the sophistication of the Mitsubishi 700 Series CNC

controls. Mitsubishi has utilized its vast experience developing the most sophisticated and accurate controls for EDM

and laser machines and has implemented new nanotechnology for finer, faster interpolation with greater power.

• Dedicated nano control for highest precision machining • Newest RISC-CPU and high-performance ASIC

• Improved graphics and superior NC design simplify operations

• OMR (Optimum Machine Response) control estimates the machine’s status based on a model and applies correction to motor control in order to match machine position

• Network function adaptable for diverse factory environments • Full standard keyboard

• Joystick jogging all 3 axis simultaneously • X4 Faster Processing / More RAM Memory




Metamation CAD-CAM is the software expressly developed for the processing of materials in 2D. It quickly and simply executes all contours and is

compatible with most drawing formats, including: DXF, DWG and IGES. With Metamation, it is possible to use an Automatic Nesting feature to select the

types and quantities of stored pieces to be laid on one or more plates, optimizing production and reducing waste. The software also allows the generation

of machining time estimates before actual production begins. These show estimated cutting lengths and machining time for the job.

The control features technology tables for the operator to easily select material, thickness and their desired finish quality. NC code is automatically

generated, ready to be transferred to the CNC by Ethernet, or USB memory stick. The software also allows the generating of an automatic estimation of the

work, before the actual production showing cut time and cutting lengths.

TAPER CONTROL SYSYTEM ( TCS ) (x4 on ly )


Taper control is extremely important to the production of high-precision parts with waterjet technology. A number of factors influence the

amount of taper in a cut, including cut speed the thickness and hardness of the material being cut. Greatly reducing cut speed is one way

to easily reduce or eliminate taper, but it comes at a great cost in productivity. The MW TCS system analyzes cuts and provides taper

control without the need for reducing speed by inclinating the high-pressure waterjet up to 6° while maintaining stream velocity. The result

is a final part that is produced faster and with straighter walls, regardless of the thickness or composition of the material being cut.

The Taper Control System utilizes independent servo motor control for both A and C axes motion allowing the user to virtually eliminate taper

caused by the natural characteristics of the waterjet stream.

Traditional Waterjet cutting was always limited to traditional x-y manipulation of the cutting head. The natural tendancy of the high pressure

waterjet stream is to rapidly lose energy as it propels farther from the nozzle tip. This natural loss of energy coupled with the cutting, or

erosion process, traditionally resulted in a “v-shaped” taper with the entry stream width dimension “narrower” then the exit stream width.

These dimensions, and therefore part accuracy, are exaggerated as the material grows in thickness.

With the Mitsubishi Taper Control System, the taper is virtually eliminated by automatically angling “away” from the part cut surface in

a calculated, automatically programmed, specific angle, determined through calculations from the database, resulting in a straight edge

throughout the thickness of the material. Typical results will show about .001” taper, per side, per 1/2” of thickness.
