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 700 is a large-format waterjet cutting system: tables are 4 m or 5 m wide and from 8 m to 24 m long, with a 1,417 in/min (36 m/min) rapid traverse and pressure of 94,000 PSI (6,480 bar).

Five sizes are listed. The 4080 is 13'-1" × 26'-2" (4 m × 8 m), the 40150 is 13'-1" × 49'-2" (4 m × 15 m) and the 40240 is 13'-1" × 78'-9" (4 m × 24 m). On the wider frame, the 5080 is 16'-4" × 26'-2" (5 m × 8 m) and the 50240 is 16'-4" × 78'-9" (5 m × 24 m). Z travel is 12 in or 24 in (305 mm or 610 mm).

A bed that long changes what the motion figures mean. With up to 24 m between one end and the other, rapid traverse is a real part of the cycle, and 1,417 in/min is roughly twice the 700 in/min (17.8 m/min) of the Mach 500. Up to 4 heads can cut at once, which is how a table this size is kept busy on repeat parts.

The pump is a Flow HyperJet dual-intensifier of up to 150 HP, and maximum cutting thickness is 250+ mm (10+ in). Positioning accuracy is ± 0.0015 in (± 0.038 mm), repeatability ± 0.001 in (± 0.03 mm) and ballbar circularity ± 0.0025 in (± 0.064 mm), with 0.1 g of acceleration. The Mach 500 is the tighter machine at ± 0.0005 in (± 0.0127 mm), so a buyer who needs neither the length nor the speed is better served by the smaller table.

Settle the building first. A table up to 16'-4" × 78'-9" needs plate handling along its whole length, and Flow's table gives no machine weight, footprint or supply requirements.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Envelopes from 4 m × 8 m to 5 m × 24 m (16'-4" × 78'-9")
1,417 in/min (36 m/min) rapid traverse, roughly twice the 700 in/min (17.8 m/min) of the Mach 500
Up to 4 heads on one table
Flow HyperJet dual-intensifier pump of up to 150 HP at 94,000 PSI (6,480 bar)
Maximum cutting thickness of 250+ mm (10+ in)
Z travel of 12 in or 24 in (305 mm or 610 mm)

Limitations

Positioning accuracy of ± 0.0015 in (± 0.038 mm) is three times the ± 0.0005 in (± 0.0127 mm) band of the Mach 500
Smallest size is 4 m × 8 m (13'-1" × 26'-2"), so it needs a long bay
No machine weight, footprint or power supply figure is listed
The pump is rated up to 150 HP, so the plant's electrical supply has to be checked against it

Best For

Long plate and large panels up to 5 m × 24 m Multi-head production with up to 4 heads cutting at once Thick material, with cutting thickness listed at 250+ mm (10+ in) Large nests where 1,417 in/min (36 m/min) rapids shorten travel between parts

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sizes does the Mach 700 come in?

Five. On the 4 m wide frame: 4080 (4 m × 8 m), 40150 (4 m × 15 m) and 40240 (4 m × 24 m). On the 5 m wide frame: 5080 (5 m × 8 m) and 50240 (5 m × 24 m). In feet and inches the range runs from 13'-1" × 26'-2" to 16'-4" × 78'-9".

02 How fast is the Mach 700?

Rapid traverse is 1,417 in/min (36 m/min) with 0.1 g acceleration. The Mach 500 has the same acceleration and a 700 in/min (17.8 m/min) rapid. On a bed up to 24 m long the higher rapid shows up mainly in long moves between parts and when returning to the load position.

03 What pump does the Mach 700 use?

Flow lists a Flow HyperJet dual-intensifier pump of up to 150 HP, with maximum pressure of 94,000 PSI (6,480 bar). If more than one of the up to 4 heads will cut at once, have the pump rating matched to the number of heads and orifice sizes.

04 How accurate is the Mach 700?

Positioning accuracy is ± 0.0015 in (± 0.038 mm), repeatability is ± 0.001 in (± 0.03 mm) and ballbar circularity is ± 0.0025 in (± 0.064 mm). For tighter positioning the Mach 500 lists ± 0.0005 in (± 0.0127 mm), on tables up to 4 m × 8 m.

05 How thick can the Mach 700 cut?

Maximum cutting thickness is listed as 250+ mm (10+ in). Z travel is 12 in or 24 in (305 mm or 610 mm); for material near the top of that thickness range the 24 in travel leaves more height to work with.
