V-Series Waterjet

November 01, 2011

MultiCam has added the Value-Series WaterJet to its product line. Now the flexibility of waterjet cutting is more economical. This pure water or abrasive cutting system features work surfaces up to 60" x 120".

"We designed the V-Series WaterJet to offer high performance, versatility and productivity at an affordable price," said MultiCam Director of Sales and Marketing John Harris. "It's easy on the budget and a smart CNC investment."

Fully enclosed bellows protect both the Y and Z axes from abrasive garnet buildup. The X axis features dual drives and completely covered custom aluminum extrusions to keep all precision bearing surfaces clean during the cutting process.

KMT's new NEOLine 10d direct-drive intensifier rated at 10 hp and 40,000 PSI powers the V-Series WaterJet. The pump also is available in a single-phase electrical configuration, which makes it ideal for small shops without three-phase power.
