5-Axis cutting heads offer movement between 0° and 68°. This will enable you to control taper angle and create complex 3D designs
5-axis waterjet systems are capable of cutting at angles up to 68 degrees. The ability to move the cutting head perpendicular to the cutting surface while rotating on an axis enables the 5-axis system to execute complex cuts like chamfers and bevels, eliminating the secondary operations required to finish a part. The range of parts that can now be cut by 5-axis systems has grown exponentially.
5-axis waterjet cutting systems can execute both 2D and 3D cuts in a wide range of materials. Users can switch from machining flat 2 dimensional parts in one type of material to complex 3D parts in another material without changing tooling.
