How much does the MultiCam 1000 Series CNC Waterjet cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the MultiCam 1000 Series CNC Waterjet that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The MultiCam 1000 Series CNC Waterjet is a gantry waterjet table that MultiCam positions for a wide variety of thin materials, with tables from 60 x 120 in to 80 x 144 in (152 x 305 cm to 203 x 365 cm). Cut speed is listed at 1,000 IPM (25.5 m/min) and rapid traverse at 1,200 IPM (30.5 m/min).
Read the materials list before anything else. MultiCam names rubber, food, foam, vinyl and textile, and the head options are stated in pure water heads, up to four of them. Nothing on the product page mentions abrasive cutting. A shop that needs to cut plate, stone or glass should ask MultiCam directly whether this table can be configured for it, and should not assume so from the name.
The Z axis confirms the thin-material role. Travel is 6 in (15 cm) and clearance under the head is 4.5 in (11.5 cm), driven by a lead screw. X and Y use linear rack and pinion with dual-side brushless digital AC servo drives on 25 mm linear bearing profile rails, and repeatability is ±0.001 in (0.025 mm). For soft goods that precision is more than the material itself will hold, so the practical gain is consistent nesting from sheet to sheet.
The tank is part of the frame: an all-steel, stress-relieved, integral water tank design with access on three sides and integrated fork lift tubes for moving the machine. Two and three head configurations are options, which is how output is raised on gasket and foam work where one head would leave most of the table idle. A chiller for the intensifier and a closed-loop filtration system are also extras, so the base table needs its water supply and drain planned. The control is MultiCam EZ Control with Coreo BMO software, which lets an operator draw, program and cut in one program.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Multi-head options: two and three head configurations, or up to four pure water heads
- Three-side cutting tank access on an all-steel, stress-relieved, integral water tank design
- Cut speed of 1,000 IPM (25.5 m/min) with 1,200 IPM (30.5 m/min) rapid traverse
- Tables from 60 x 120 in to 80 x 144 in (152 x 305 cm to 203 x 365 cm)
- Integrated fork lift tubes make the table movable without special rigging points
Limitations
- MultiCam's page describes pure water cutting of thin, soft materials and does not mention abrasive
- Z-axis clearance is 4.5 in (11.5 cm), so tall or stacked work will not fit under the head
- Chiller for the intensifier and closed-loop filtration system are options
- No pump pressure or water flow figure is published for the series

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Thin materials. MultiCam lists rubber, food, foam, vinyl and textile, and names gaskets, sign making, the food industry, automotive fabrication and aerospace as applications. Waterjet cutting leaves no heat-affected zone, which is the reason to use it on materials that would warp or melt under a thermal process.
02
The product page does not say so. Its options are given in pure water heads, up to four, and its materials list is all soft goods. Treat abrasive capability as unconfirmed and ask MultiCam before planning any plate, stone or glass work on this table.
03
The options list gives two and three head configurations and up to four pure water heads. On repeat parts such as gaskets, several heads cut the same nest side by side, so output rises without a faster feed. The base machine is a single-head table.
04
Tables run from 60 x 120 in to 80 x 144 in (152 x 305 cm to 203 x 365 cm). Z-axis travel is 6 in (15 cm) and Z-axis clearance is 4.5 in (11.5 cm). The Z axis is driven by a lead screw; X and Y use linear rack and pinion on 25 mm linear bearing profile rails.
05
MultiCam EZ Control with Coreo BMO software as standard. MultiCam describes Coreo as CAD/CAM software in which a business can draw, program and cut within the same program. A CNC computer interface station, an integrated CNC control air conditioner and further Coreo software packages are options.
