Finecut Micro Abrasive Waterjet System

The Finecut micro abrasive waterjet system brings the benefits of waterjet technology to the high precision fine mechanic segment. The Finecut is a premium precision machine with a positioning accuracy of +/-2.5 microns. It can cut minute parts of high complexity with a miniaturized cutting system capable of jet diameters down to 200 microns. Nevertheless, it can as well be used to cut high precision features into large parts up to 500 by 500 mm size, using the full work envelope. 

The particle erosion process nimbly adopts to the material and cuts complex shapes out of virtually all materials without thermal nor mechanical damage. The adaptability is specifically advantageous for composites and combined/sandwiched materials that are easily cut with the same tool.

The pioneering development team at Finepart Sweden AB launched the Finecut machine to the market 10 years ago, and customers across Europe currently use the Finecut technology in a wide variety of fields including, prototyping, fine mechanics and tooling, medical device, aerospace, watchmaking and luxury goods. The Finepart team are dedicated to offer customer solutions. The machine has a well proven design and it is often complemented with advanced customized solutions for fixturing and handling. Finepart has a design concept that secures that all new options being developed are made to be retrofittable also to the machines previously sold. The idea is to offer Finepart customers the opportunity to continuously develop their capabilities along with the latest Finecut developments. 

Unlike traditional waterjets, the fully encapsulated machine can be placed in any workshop alongside other ultraprecision machines. The machine is a good complement to wire EDMs. Having the advantage of no recast layers, ability to do piercing and cutting in one setup, offering significantly higher cutting speeds, and its ability to cut also nonconductive materials, are all reasons to consider the Finecut as the next tool in the workshop to widen the scope of business. 

Finepart Sweden AB currently have sales representatives on the U.S. west coast. Finecut machine systems are sold by HS&S Machine Tool & Metrology in California and Nevada and by Machines and Methods in Washington and Oregon.
