High Productivity with an Integrated, Compact Design The Integrated Flying Bridge (IFB) incorporates a design that combines the motion control, pump and high-pressure components of a waterjet cutting tool into one compact machine. It consumes minimal floor space, provides excellent operator access, and is configured for easy material loading and unloading. This abrasive waterjet machine is capable of cutting any metal, stone, tile, and glass material with unmatched accuracy and intricacy. IFB 4800 The Worlds Most Popular Waterjet Cutting System The Integrated Flying Bridge is a design that has been field proven through over a thousand installations worldwide. The robust open gantry is designed and constructed using advanced finite element engineering to ensure it will consistently deliver an extremely high level of accuracy and performance well into the future. For maximum productivity, it’s possible to equip the machine with optional features such as dual cutting heads, Dynamic Waterjet®, height and collision sensors, and an automatic abrasive removal system to keep the catcher tank clean and eliminate downtime associated with having to remove used abrasive. Finally, because the machine is equipped with FlowMaster, Flow’s intelligent Windows-based PC control and programming system, it is extremely easy to learn and simple to use. No waterjet or programming experience is necessary to begin producing perfect parts. IFB 6012 All the Unique Benefits of Waterjet Machining The Integrated Flying Bridge delivers all the benefits that make waterjet systems so unique and capable. Waterjets are able to cut complex shapes and parts in almost any material — from metals of all sorts, to stone, glass, ceramics, rubber, plastics and composites — all up to 8 inches thick. Since they cut parts with no heat affected zone, secondary finishing is typically unnecessary. Because waterjets put no lateral force and exert very little downward force on the parts they are cutting, no elaborate fixturing provisions are required. And finally, with an additional cutting head, it’s possible to further increase the machine’s productivity and economically produce multiple parts. Benefits Machines virtually any material and thickness Unique design saves valuable floor space and provides easy access to work zone from 3 sides at an ergonomically correct height Proven machine tool design and technology for durability and reliability Highest possible productivity through unparalleled work piece accessibility No CNC or abrasive waterjet experience necessary: “Trained in a day, proficient in a week” Cut parts using virtually any CAD file, or scan drawings directly into FlowMaster® Software Standard Features FlowMaster Windows®-based PC machine control and programming Motorized Z axis with PASER® ECL Plus abrasive waterjet cutting system Swiveless plumbing for fast cutting Rugged two-piece construction provides accuracy and durability Choice of 60,000 psi intensifier or 55,000 psi HyPlex™ pumps CleanCut™ material support system with rapid water level control for clean, quiet underwater cutting WaterVeyor™ abrasive removal and recovery system (optional) Height and collision sensors (optional) Dynamic Waterjet® with Active Tolerance Control (optional) Specifications Net Cutting Area and Speed Sizes/Work Envelope: - 1 m x 1.2 m+ - 2 m x 1.2 m - 3 m x 1.8 m / 3 m x 2 m - 4 m x 1.8 m / 4 m x 2 m - 5 m x 2 m Z-axis: 200 mm, motorized Z Axis Cutting Heads*: up to 2 Rapid Traverse Maximum*: 12.5 m/min Contouring Range*: 0 - 7.6 m/min Machine Positional Specifications (per linear axis at 20 °C ± 2 °C) Linear Positional Accuracy: ± 0.08mm Repeatability*: ± 0.05 mm Specified in accordance with ISO 230-2 and applicable NMTBA specifications Drive System Digital AC servo motors with closed loop feedback X- and Y-axis utilize a ball screw with driven nut X- and Y-axis utilize recirculating ball, linear bearings and hardened precision ways Full protection package (covers and internal bellows) for drive system and ease of machine maintenance Optional: The IFB can be equipped with Dynamic Waterjet with Active Tolerance Control Technology. *Dependent upon machine size. +Currently not available with Dynamic Waterjet.
