Waterjet is a highly adopted cutting solution due to the flexibility of the process. There are virtually no limits to what waterjets can cut, which is why companies of all kinds and sizes are realizing growth, greater efficiency, and improved productivity by adopting UHP waterjets.

FLOW WATERJETS… • Cut virtually any material, from thin shim stock to over 12 inches• Can cut more materials and eliminate grinding off hardened material and slag, because there is no heat affected zone (HAZ) created.• Allow tight nesting and accurate cutting, improving material utilization.• Can both replace and complement other machine tool processes such as laser, plasma, EDM, milling, and routers.

When water is continuously pressurized by Flow pumps rated to 94,000 pounds per square inch (psi) and forced through a tiny opening to become a jet the diameter of a human hair, cutting soft materials such as food, paper and baby diapers, rubber and foam is easy. Add abrasive particles to the jet stream and it becomes a supersonic precision erosion process capable of cutting virtually any hard material including metals, composites, stone, hardened ceramics and glass.

Flow participates in a wide variety of industries:

FLOW OFFERS A FULL CONTINUUM OF PRODUCTSFrom configure to order, to engineered to order specialty solutions, Flow offers the world’s most advanced technology and industry leading service and support to back it up.

Whether our customers are developing the next cutting-edge material for use in space exploration, innovative automotive lightweighting design, or contract cutting for a wide range of diverse applications, Flow has the right system to meet their needs.
