Water jet cutting and profiling machine s ideal for high-production, high-speed cutting, as well as the low production rates and high job variations.
On the occasion of the recent EuroBLECH, in Hanover, Germany, Flow presented the WMC2 Waterjet Machining Center, the next generation of the successful WMC series. The WMC2, designed by a worldwide team of multi-disciplined Flow employees and customers, is ideal for high-production, high-speed cutting, as well as the low production rates and high job variations commonly found in job shops. Through its flexible and fully modular design customers can equip the Waterjet machining center to meet a myriad of individual needs now and in the future.
* WMC2 offers even higher productivity - in the growing Europe today's cutting systems need to be very flexible.
In order to meet customer requirements now and in the future and to guarantee high productivity the WMC2 has been designed.
With its new electric and software the WMC2 offers higher cutting speeds and thus faster cycle times.
The WMC2 is much more flexible, versatile and easy to use compared to other cutting processes, such as laser or punch.
Also compared to conventional waterjet systems the Waterjet Machining Center WMC2 offers higher productivity.
Furthermore the user benefits from the sophisticated design and up to date manufacturing processes that reduce maintenance requirements.
'The WMC2 is an amazing waterjet machine that we are extremely proud to introduce to the market,' said Andreas Meyer, director of Product Development X-Y Systems at Flow Europe.

Faster part cutting cycle times.
Streamlined operation.
Enhanced ergonomics with features such as a roll around cabinet.
For the utmost in cutting control, it is available with either the latest generation of FlowMaster PC or Siemens CNC control.
The machine's modular design means the WMC2 can be equipped with variety of Intensifier or HyPlex pumps and cutting heads so customers can select the right pump and number of cutting heads for their appli-cation today and upgrade later should their needs change in the future.
Optional multi-head PASER ECL Plus cutting system or dual head Dynamic Waterjet capability for high productivity.
