Overview

The Machitech Precision Gantry CNC Waterjet Cutting System is listed with a standard 5 x 10 ft (1,524 x 3,048 mm) cutting area and custom configurations to 20 x 60 ft and beyond. The model is absent from Machitech's current lineup, and the listed figures have not been confirmed against a maker document.

The pump defines the machine. Standard pressure is 60,000 psi (4,137 bar) from a KMT SL-VI pump, with 90,000 psi (6,205 bar) from a KMT Pro listed as an option, and pump power runs from 50 HP to 150 HP (37–112 kW) depending on application and throughput. Maximum cutting thickness is up to 6 in (152 mm) on steel and 12 in (305 mm) on stone, foam and soft composites. Cutting speed spans 1–250 ipm depending on material, thickness and cut quality, a range so wide that it says little without a specific job in mind.

Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.003 in (±0.076 mm) with linear encoder closed-loop feedback. The control is an IGEMS-based CNC with a Machitech interface, with DXF/DWG import and nesting, and 5-axis toolpath is optional. Standard configurations weigh approximately 7,000–15,000 lb (3,175–6,800 kg), and custom builds more.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Standard pump pressure of 60,000 psi (4,137 bar), with 90,000 psi (6,205 bar) listed as an option
Cuts up to 6 in (152 mm) on steel and 12 in (305 mm) on stone, foam and soft composites
Positioning accuracy of ±0.003 in (±0.076 mm) with linear encoder closed-loop feedback
Standard 5 x 10 ft (1,524 x 3,048 mm) cutting area, with custom configurations to 20 x 60 ft and beyond

Limitations

Absent from Machitech's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed
The 90,000 psi (6,205 bar) pump and 5-axis toolpath are options, not standard
Pump power ranges from 50 HP to 150 HP (37–112 kW), so cutting performance depends on the pump a machine was ordered with

Best For

Steel plate up to 6 in (152 mm) thick Stone, foam and soft composites up to 12 in (305 mm) Sheet and plate work on a 5 x 10 ft (1,524 x 3,048 mm) cutting area Nested parts programmed from DXF/DWG files

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What pump pressure does the Machitech waterjet run at?

The standard pump is listed at 60,000 psi (4,137 bar), a KMT SL-VI. A 90,000 psi (6,205 bar) KMT Pro pump is listed as optional. Pump power is 50 HP to 150 HP (37–112 kW), depending on application and throughput requirements.

02 How thick can this waterjet cut?

Maximum cutting thickness is listed as up to 6 in (152 mm) on steel and 12 in (305 mm) on stone, foam and soft composites. Cutting speed is 1–250 ipm and depends on material, thickness and the cut quality required.

03 Is this waterjet system in Machitech's current lineup?

No, it is not in Machitech's current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures are unconfirmed, so confirm the pump, cutting area and control options from the records of the specific machine.
