Conventional flatbed waterjet machines are primarily designed for two-dimensional sheet processing. Manufacturers working with tubes, pipes, cylinders, and other three-dimensional components may need additional fixtures, repositioning, or specialized machining equipment.
APW rotary and multi-axis waterjet systems extend cutting capabilities beyond flat sheets. By integrating rotary motion and multi-axis CNC control, the machine can process selected cylindrical workpieces and complex geometries with greater flexibility.
APW recommends configurations based on workpiece geometry and machining requirements.
Pipe & Tube Fabrication: Cut openings, slots, notches, and customized profiles in tubular components.
Automotive Manufacturing: Process selected exhaust, structural, and tubular components.
Architectural Structures: Produce customized metal tubes, decorative profiles, and complex structural elements.
Industrial Equipment: Manufacture specialized cylindrical components and custom mechanical parts.
Aerospace & Specialized Manufacturing: Process selected complex components requiring coordinated rotary and multi-axis movement.
If your production involves pipes, tubes, cylinders, or complex three-dimensional parts, APW can help evaluate a rotary or multi-axis solution.
Send us your workpiece dimensions, material, and 3D drawings to explore the right configuration.
