to improve part cycle time and accuracy two to four times over standard non-Dynamic systems, the company reports.

The Mach 3 also features Dynamic Waterjet cutting technology but with a 60,000-PSI pump.

The Mach 2 has a JetPlex 55,000-PSI pump and FlowMaster® software.

The Mach series can waterjet-cut virtu- ally any material, according to Flow. The newest in the series, the Mach 4 waterjet system combines a Hyper- Jet® pump, rated at 94,000 PSI, and Dynamic Waterjet® XD, high-precision flat stock and 3-D cutting technology,
Kuka will also be on display, outfitted with an abrasive waterjet end effector for 3-D trimming and drilling. For more information, visit www.flowcorp.com.

A new spiral-bottom round-bowl finishing machine will make its debut.

Like other units in the company’s line, the SBB- 24 has a full-circle baffle that keeps parts in the media mass constantly. The new model has a 24-cu.-ft. tub that can automatically separate parts from the abrasive media at predetermined intervals according to finishing requirements.

The tub can also serve as a through-feed or one-pass machine when the dam is held in the up position.

The spiral design’s uphill tub bottom provides a larger rolling mass right to the screen area. This allows larger parts to be lifted up the dam and over the screening area. Larger parts can be processed in the tub because of greater clearance between the screen and tub bottom.

This finishing machine has a 20-HP, 1,800-RPM motor; 17.5-in.-diameter tub cross section; diameter of 73 in.; and a machine height of 52 in.

The Lynx 300 turning center features a 20-HP, high-torque motor that provides the power for heavy cuts and the speed to produce near-mirror fin-ishes. Its 10-in.-dia., three-jaw power chuck turns 3-in. barstock at speeds up to 3,500 RPM.

The machine’s bed is a one-piece Meehanite® casting, while its heavy ribbing resists twisting and distortion. A 30-degree slant bed maintains a minimal and constant distance between tool tip and guideway. This maximizes rigidity while eliminating distortion under heavy loads, the company reports.

The headstock is mounted on the same plane as the tailstock, and widely spaced linear-motion guideways allow high-speed rapid traverses: 945 IPM on the X axis and 1,181 IPM

on the Z axis.

The 12-station turret features an 8.26-in.-dia. curvic coupling and

11,465 lbs. of hydraulic clamp force. This configuration provides high rigidity for superior accuracy and surface finish, long boring bar overhang ratios, and extended tool life, says Doosan.
