Flow International has added three new systems to its line of metal fabrication machines, including a completely re-engineered NX Pro waterjet system with an automated abrasive recycling system and energy-saving pump technology. The LZR fiber laser system is designed for high-volume cutting, combining power levels up to 20 kW with a dual-drive gantry and fast automatic shuttle tables. The HyperBend press
brake is built for precision and performance, making it easy to form complex parts from boxes and frames to structural components.
NX Pro waterjet advantages:
- Cuts abrasive use and disposal by up to 50 percent and reduces maintenance costs.
- NX pump technology reduces energy use between 10 and 30 percent.
- Automatically adapts to demand, optimizing efficiency without compromising performance.
- Fully enclosed system reduces noise, contains spray, and enhances visibility and access.
LZR fiber laser advantages:
- Auto-focus cutting head adjusts for varying thicknesses in piercing and cutting with capacitive
sensor for slight variations in material plane. - AC servo-actuated, dual-drive gantry maximizes stability, reduces vibration at high speed and
ensures part quality. - Standard laser shuttle tables provide swift exchange for sheets as well as a gateway to
material handling automation.
HyperBend press brake advantages:
- Easily bend and form complex parts into precise angles and shapes, including boxes, frames
and structural components. - Hybrid drive technology combines the power of hydraulics with the efficiency of electronics.
The AC servo motor with variable speed pump system saves up to 60 percent in energy
without sacrificing speed or production capacity. - The system activates when the foot pedal is pressed, reducing oil heating, minimizing
wear and improving overall sustainability. Benefits include lower noise, longer component life
and minimal mintenance.
