1. Challenges We Solve
Many industrial components require more than simple vertical cutting. Beveled edges, angled profiles, countersunk features, and complex three-dimensional geometries can involve multiple machining operations, additional fixtures, and repeated positioning.
APW multi-axis waterjet technology enables angled cutting and complex spatial movements, helping manufacturers reduce secondary operations and improve machining flexibility. Depending on the configuration, the machine can perform bevel cutting, 3D contour cutting, and selected complex-profile machining.
2. Recommended Waterjet Systems
APW provides different multi-axis configurations according to the required cutting geometry.
- 3-axis CNC system for standard vertical cutting.
- AB-type 5-axis cutting head for controlled bevel cutting and angled profiles.
- AC-type 5-axis cutting head for more advanced multi-axis and 3D cutting applications.
- Dual-Z configurations for independent or synchronized cutting operations.
- Specialized fixtures and rotary axes for selected three-dimensional workpieces.
The choice of axis configuration depends on the required angular range, cutting path, and workpiece geometry.
3. Materials We Process
- Stainless steel and carbon steel.
- Aluminum and titanium alloys.
- Stone and ceramic materials.
- Glass and composite panels.
- Other materials requiring angled or multi-directional cutting.
4. Application Solutions
- Metal Fabrication: Produce bevel edges for welding preparation, angled profiles, and customized metal components.
- Stone Processing: Create miter joints, angled edges, and complex architectural stone shapes.
- Automotive & Aerospace: Process selected three-dimensional components and complex contours.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Reduce repeated positioning and machining steps for parts requiring multiple cutting angles.
