Finecut WMC500II

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Finecut WMC 500II is an ultra-precision waterjet machining center designed and manufactured by Finepart Sweden AB. It offers non-thermal precision cutting for virtually all materials, featuring the smallest jet size on the market, and is user-friendly and easy to operate.

Micro Abrasive Waterjet Technology
This technology allows for cutting through layers of different materials, including complex structures like carbon fiber reinforced epoxy with titanium inlays. It supports narrow parallel cuts ideal for thin sections and offers high tolerances and fine surface finishes without thermal effects.

Technical Specifications

Controller: FANUC 31i-B5 with advanced features for smooth motion.
Axes Motion: Linear servo motor drive on X-Y, precision ballscrew servo drive on Z.
Max Cutting Speed: 20 m/min; Max Traverse Speed: 40 m/min.
Positioning Accuracy: +/- 2.5 µm; Repeatability: +/- 2 µm.
Work Area: Cutting envelope of 500 mm x 500 mm x 80 mm.

Cutting Systems and Options
The system supports three types of cutting systems: micro/fine abrasive waterjet, conventional abrasive waterjet, and pure waterjet, with jet sizes ranging from 0.2 to 0.76 mm. It offers an advanced option portfolio including a measuring probe, 5-axis cutting head, and more, all retrofittable.

User Interface
The Finesoft interface features a 19” multi-touch screen with intuitive programming, allowing operators to access all features without prior CNC skills.

Industries and Applications
The Finecut system is applicable in various industries such as aerospace, medical devices, fine mechanics, prototyping, jewelry, material testing, R&D, consumer goods, and electronics. It is established in countries including Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France, UK, Russia, and the USA.

MICRO ABRASIVE WATERJET TECHNOLOGY How small is the jet? Whereas traditional abrasive waterjets have diameters down to 0.38 mm, micro abrasive waterjets are even finer. Typical micro abrasive waterjets are 0.3 mm and 0.2 mm. Our ongoing development will soon result in even smaller sizes. Cuts through layers of different materials The micro abrasive waterjet is effective also in combined materials that have disparate properties, such as carbon fibre reinforced epoxy with titanium inlays. Narrow parallel cuts, ideal for thin sections Even if the jet velocity is high, the force of the jet is low....
