The Newest Equipment Addition to BEM

BEM is proud to announce the arrival of our newest machine, a Flow Mach 2C waterjet machine.There is a reason that waterjet machining has rapidly grown in popularity since the mid-1990's. Actually there are a number of reasons, but they mostly come down to "versatility." Waterjet cutting is a process that produces shapes by cutting sheet material using a thin, high pressure stream of water.The water jet typically runs at a pressure of around 60,000 psi.For harder materials, this water is mixed with a garnet abrasive. Waterjet cutting is an economical way to cut 2D shapes in a very wide range of materials with no tooling costs.This process provides a good edge quality with no burrs and typically eliminates the need for a secondary finishing process.Because the machine uses water, no heat is generated and distortion is no longer a factor.

The water jet machine can cut be used to cut almost any material, hard or soft. For example, it can be used to cut anything from granite and Inconel steel to paper exhaust gaskets and birthday cakes.The water jet can cut intricate shapes with high accuracy and very low tolerances.The capabilities of BEM’s new machine include cutting sizes up to 144” in length and 72” in width. Parts can be cut from materials ranging anywhere from .001” to 6” thick.
