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 200s is a production-oriented waterjet cutting table: a 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar) machine with a 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min) rapid traverse and provision for up to 4 simultaneous heads.

Both of those figures point at throughput. A rapid of 1,250 in/min is two and a half times the 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) of the Mach 200c, and with several heads working the same nest at once, each pass yields several parts.

The trade is accuracy. Positioning accuracy is ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm) and ballbar circularity ± 0.0037 in (± 0.095 mm). The Mach 200c holds ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) and ± 0.003 in (± 0.0762 mm). For brackets, blanks and gaskets cut by the hundred that band is usually acceptable; for fitted parts it may not be.

Envelopes are 1313 at 4'-3" × 4'-3" (1.3 m × 1.3 m), 3020 at 9'-8" × 6'-6" (3 m × 2 m) and 4020 at 13'-2" × 6'-6" (4 m × 2 m), with 8 in (203 mm) of Z travel and a maximum cutting thickness of 150 mm (6 in). Multi-head work divides the table between heads, so the part size each head can cover shrinks as heads are added. The table also gives no pump power, and water demand rises with every head: size the pump for the head count you plan to run.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min) rapid traverse, two and a half times the 500 in/min (12.7 m/min) of the Mach 200c
Up to 4 simultaneous heads for cutting several identical parts per pass
Three envelopes up to 13'-2" × 6'-6" (4 m × 2 m)
150 mm (6 in) maximum cutting thickness at 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar)

Limitations

Positioning accuracy is ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm), four times the ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) band of the Mach 200c
Ballbar circularity of ± 0.0037 in (± 0.095 mm) is wider than the ± 0.003 in (± 0.0762 mm) of the Mach 200c
Z travel is limited to 8 in (203 mm)
No pump power or acceleration figure is listed, although up to 4 heads have to be supplied with water

Best For

Volume runs of identical parts cut with up to 4 simultaneous heads Nests with long moves between parts, where 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min) rapids save time Parts toleranced wider than ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm) Material up to 150 mm (6 in) thick

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many cutting heads can the Mach 200s run?

Flow lists up to 4 simultaneous heads. Each head cuts its own copy of the part, so the part has to fit within the share of the envelope a head can reach, and the pump has to supply all the heads at once. The table lists no pump power, so have that sized with the head count.

02 How fast does the Mach 200s move?

Rapid traverse is 1,250 in/min (31.75 m/min). That is the positioning rate between cuts, not a cutting speed; cutting speed depends on material, thickness and edge finish.

03 How accurate is the Mach 200s?

Positioning accuracy is ± 0.004 in (± 0.1 mm) and ballbar circularity is ± 0.0037 in (± 0.095 mm). If the work needs a tighter band, the Mach 200c lists ± 0.001 in (± 0.025 mm) positioning accuracy in the same size range.

04 What sizes does the Mach 200s come in?

1313, 3020 and 4020. The work envelopes are 4'-3" × 4'-3" (1.3 m × 1.3 m), 9'-8" × 6'-6" (3 m × 2 m) and 13'-2" × 6'-6" (4 m × 2 m). Z travel is 8 in (203 mm) and maximum cutting thickness is 150 mm (6 in).
