Hello everyone, I have a 6x10 IFB circa 2002. Just recently I've been having problems with my Ultrapierce. It seems after pierce routine, ( which works fine), when it goes to cut, a small amount of air is being forced through the small tube from the pressure regulator on the Ultrapierce. Whats happeni...

Hello all, I am looking at options to modify the existing abrasive removal system. I want more output, so no more vacuum extraction trucks. Our standard systems are made with Sandpiper air driven membrane pumps. Does any of you have any experience with electrical slurry pumps? If so, what type do you...

we currently use stainless steel but we cut many of the same small parts and i was wondering if anyone has used aluminum for their slats with success? i cant have rust so plain steel is out of the question. any help is awesome.

We have two Flow Mach 3 machines, we cut a lot of PVC and acrylic, the problem is we end up with nasty grey foam that floats on the top of the tank. We have abrasive recycling systems but obviously they aren't meant to handle floating solids. Is there any good technique to removing the foam? Currently we...

We have a new machine and our Ultra Pierce was missing a part when it was set up by the tech. So it was never set up by Flow and we've been fighting with it ever since. When our tech set it up he just capped the side where the Ultra Pierce connects. What happens is this. We don't have a problem with the pierc...

Mike1268 · Mike1268

I've noticed when you choose the "Pierce then Cut" option on our Mach 4c this is what happens. To start you select low pressure then turn the pump on. The machine pierces all the holes it needs to, then ramps up to high pressure to cut. That's all fine and goes like it should. However, it's...

What would cause a jet to stop in the middle of a program after cutting 3 or 4 times without stopping? Anyone else have a similar problem? The obvious, resricted flow, water pressure, etc. was checked. Not stopping in the same location on each trim.

Brian · Brian

I'm having an issue when cutting lexan/other higher machinability plastics. Right at the end of cutting a part, the waterjet will travel over the material before the jet/abrasive has shut off. It only does it randomly and not on every part. And even with just a few seconds on the plastics they're ...
