FAWJ Micro Cutting Head

To cut narrow incisions in hard materials with high precision requires a specially developed waterjet cutting process. FAWJ stands for Fine Abrasive Water Jet (micro waterjet, finecut), and is a unique and world-class cutting process launched in 2008 by Water Jet Sweden. The FAWJ Micro cutting head can cut as narrow as 0.2 mm

The FAWJ Micro Head can be applied to several machine models, but only the Micro model NCM 10 offers a complete micro-cutting environment. Special linear encoders mounted on a frame isolate the structure from vibration and thermal effects. Repeatability over a 1000 mm working area can be reduced to the order of 2.5µm (micro meter) and part tolerances of 10µm in 10mm thick materials can be realized.
