Laser pointer — simplified alignment and positioning

Thelaser pointer reduces work piece setting times. In order to align awork piece a laser cross is positioned at the work piece zero position.The cutting head automatically moves to this position, which is thenset as the work piece zero position.

UltraPierce vacuum assist system

Thispatented vacuum assist technology is ideal for cutting brittle andlaminated materials such as glass, ceramics, stone and composites. WithUltraPierce fragile materials pierce easily, saving time and rawmaterial. No mechanical pre-drilling is necessary.

Height sensor

FLOWoffers an electronically controlled height sensor for the cutting head,which guarantees constant stand-off distances between cutting head andthe material to be cut. This also allows for cutting of materials withuneven surfaces. Optionally the height sensor can be equipped with ananti-collision system.

Abrasive delivery system

Low-pressurecompressed air transfers the abrasive, stored in a hopper, to themetering valve located next to the cutting head. The pneumatic transfersystem ensures that no humidity may enter and lead to clogging of thesand, thus an optimal abrasive flow is guaranteed. Integrated sensorsalert the operator when the abrasive level is low. Cutting can continuewithout interruption while the unit is being refilled.

WaterVeyor abrasive removal system

Foran easy abrasive removal the catcher tank can be equipped with theself-cleaning WaterVeyor abrasive removal system. Sucked by the"Venturi effect", the used abrasive is continuously pumped out of thecatcher tank.

Cutting water treatment system

Dependingof the quality of the inlet water, it may be necessary to minimize thelevel of minerals in the water and prevent deposit formation in orderto optimize life time of the high-pressure components. With Aquatreatwater treatment, suitable inhibitors are used to stabilize thecorrosive properties and hardness of primary water.

Cooling system

Thehydraulic oil of FLOW high-pressure intensifier pumps needs to becooled. The consumption of cooling water is greatly reduced when usinga closed loop cooling system. Thus the operating costs can be cut downsignificantly. The high-pressure pump is always running at the correctoperating temperature and unchanged viscosity of the hydraulic oil.

Clamping system

TheFLOW clamping system allows for quick and easy fixing of work pieces.Variable mounting positions — on the left and right hand side of thecatcher tank as well as the front — offer unlimited possibilities.
