Processing delicate glass for high-value architectural and decorative applications demands absolute precision. The core challenge is executing intricate cuts and sharp internal corners without causing costly failures like chipping, cracking, or thermal shock. To remain competitive, workshops must achieve a flawless finish efficiently, eliminating the need for time-consuming secondary processes.
Clearly, overcoming those inherent challenges efficiently and profitably requires specialised industrial equipment capable of delivering clean, cool cuts with micron-level accuracy, time after time.
Our range of Flow Waterjet machines are engineered to master those challenges with a cold-cutting - abrasive process that preserves glass temper and integrity. This approach differs from traditional cutting methods that introduce thermal stress, making it the go-to solution for glass fabricators.
With linear positional accuracy of up to ±0.025mm and repeatability of ±0.020mm on models like Flow Mach 500, you can confidently produce complex shapes and delicate fretwork that would be impossible with conventional methods. The system's capabilities ensure that every cut meets exact specifications, reducing waste and maximising material yield across production runs.
For precision applications in a large format, the Pivot+™ Waterjet cutting head fitted to a Flow Mach 200 will enable precise mitre and bevel cuts in a single pass. This approach is perfect for creating seamless edges without manual intervention.
This innovative technology eliminates the need for secondary finishing operations, drastically reducing labour costs and production time while maintaining the highest quality standards. Additionally, with a generous work envelope of up to 7.3m x 2m, you'll effortlessly handle large projects.
