Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from Flow International. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Flow Mach 200c is a 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar) waterjet cutting table that holds ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) for both positioning accuracy and repeatability. It comes in three table sizes, 1313 (1.3 m × 1.3 m), 3020 (3.05 m × 2 m) and 4020 (4 m × 2 m), and Flow's table gives 8 in (203 mm) of Z travel.
Within the Mach range it is the precision half of a pair. The Mach 200s runs a 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min) rapid but lists positioning accuracy of ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm). The Mach 200c travels at 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) and holds a band a quarter as wide.
Ballbar circularity of ± 0.003 in (± 0.0762 mm) says the two axes track each other well on arcs and holes, which is where the accuracy of a cutting table shows on the part. The Mach 150, in the same three envelopes, lists ± 0.005 in (± 0.127 mm) for circularity and ± 0.002 in (± 0.051 mm) for positioning.
Maximum cutting thickness is 150 mm (6 in), depending on material. That is less than the 8 in of Z travel, so the head has room to clear the plate at full thickness. If the job is tall rather than thick, the Mach 300 has the same accuracy figures with 12 in (305 mm) of Z, though only on tables 1.5 m wide.
Flow's table for this model names no pump and gives no pump power or acceleration. Get the pump stated in the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Positioning accuracy and repeatability of ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm), against ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm) positioning on the Mach 200s
- Ballbar circularity of ± 0.003 in (± 0.0762 mm) for round holes and smooth arcs
- Three table sizes from 1.3 m × 1.3 m to 4 m × 2 m
- 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) rapid traverse, above the 472 in/min (11.9 m/min) of the Mach 300
- Cuts up to 150 mm (6 in) depending on material at 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar)
Limitations
- Rapid traverse is 500 in/min (12.7 m/min); the Mach 200s reaches 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min)
- Z travel is 8 in (203 mm), where the Mach 300 offers 12 in (305 mm)
- Maximum pressure is 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar); the Mach 500 lists up to 94,000 PSI with HyperJet
- No acceleration, pump model or pump power is listed in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Accuracy against speed. The Mach 200c lists ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) positioning accuracy and a 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) rapid. The Mach 200s lists ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm) and 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min), with up to 4 simultaneous heads. Both run at 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar), cut to 150 mm (6 in) and have 8 in (203 mm) of Z travel.
02
Three: 1313 with a 4'-3" × 4'-3" (1.3 m × 1.3 m) work envelope, 3020 with 10' × 6'-6" (3.05 m × 2 m) and 4020 with 13'-1" × 6'-6" (4 m × 2 m). Z travel is 8 in (203 mm) in Flow's table.
03
Flow lists a maximum cutting thickness of 150 mm (6 in), depending on material. Maximum pressure is 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar). Near the limit, cutting speed drops a great deal, so ask for cut-time data in your material instead of planning on the maximum.
04
Going by the two tables, yes. Positioning accuracy is ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) against ± 0.002 in (± 0.051 mm) on the Mach 150, and ballbar circularity is ± 0.003 in (± 0.0762 mm) against ± 0.005 in (± 0.127 mm). Repeatability is ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) on both.
