Hydrolaser cutting complex

Five-axis CNC hydrolaser complex: burr-free cutting with no heat-affected zone, no focus adjustment, and micro-holes in ceramics, diamond and composites.

A universal five-axis CNC hydrolaser complex, where the beam is guided in a water jet. That is what removes the heat-affected zone and the need to adjust focus during processing: the cutting walls stay parallel and the surface stays burr-free through the full depth. The machine bed is synthetic diabase rather than cast iron, for better vibration damping in a compact frame.
