How much does the Flow Mach 200 cost?
Estimated price range
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 200 is a waterjet cutting table listed in four sizes, 1313, 3020, 4020 and 7320, with a 60,000 PSI (4,150 bar) pump. The one cutting area the listed figures spell out is the 3020: 3,050 x 2,000 mm (10 x 6.5 ft).
The pump is listed as a HyPlex Prime direct drive unit, with 30 HP and 50 HP as options, and maximum operating pressure is the same 60,000 PSI. Three cutting heads are listed as options: Pure Waterjet, Standard Abrasive and Pivot+ 3D. The abrasive is garnet, 80 mesh as standard, and the software is FlowMaster. On any particular machine, find out which head and which pump rating were fitted, because the listed figures cover all of them at once.
Motion figures are modest. Rapid traverse is 10,160 mm/min (400 ipm), linear straightness accuracy is ±0.083 mm/m (±0.003 in/3 ft) and repeatability is 0.038 mm (0.0015 in). Z-axis travel is given as a range, 178 - 203 mm (7 - 8 in), without saying what decides which end of the range a machine has. The Mach 200c lists 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) and the Mach 200s 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min), so both lettered variants are quicker between cuts.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Four listed table sizes: 1313, 3020, 4020 and 7320
- Three listed cutting head options: Pure Waterjet, Standard Abrasive and Pivot+ 3D
- HyPlex Prime direct drive pump at 60,000 PSI (4,150 bar), with 30 HP and 50 HP options
- Listed repeatability of 0.038 mm (0.0015 in)
Limitations
- Rapid traverse of 10,160 mm/min (400 ipm) is below the 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) of the Mach 200c
- Z-axis travel is listed only as a range, 178 - 203 mm (7 - 8 in)
- Only the 3020 cutting area, 3,050 x 2,000 mm (10 x 6.5 ft), is given in dimensions; the other three sizes are listed by code alone

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Four: 1313, 3020, 4020 and 7320. The listed figures give dimensions for the 3020 only, a cutting area of 3,050 x 2,000 mm (10 x 6.5 ft). Z-axis travel is listed as 178 - 203 mm (7 - 8 in).
02
A HyPlex Prime direct drive pump at 60,000 PSI (4,150 bar) is listed, with 30 HP and 50 HP options. Maximum operating pressure is listed at the same 60,000 PSI (4,150 bar).
03
Pure Waterjet, Standard Abrasive and Pivot+ 3D are the listed options. For abrasive cutting the listed abrasive is garnet, with 80 mesh as the standard grade. The listed software is FlowMaster.
04
On rapid traverse it is the slowest of the three. The listed figure for the Mach 200 is 10,160 mm/min (400 ipm). The Mach 200c lists 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) and the Mach 200s lists 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min). Both of those have 8 in (203 mm) of Z travel, the top of the 178 - 203 mm (7 - 8 in) range listed here.
