This compactly designed machine integrates our proprietary Tilter14 cutting head, which angles up to 14 degrees to effectively eliminate taper angle error, along with an advanced calibration method that ensures tolerances down to ±0.01 mm. The XY-Micro is optimized for applications where the highest precision is essential. Ideal for industries such as electronics, medical and aerospace, where small components in metal, glass, composites or sensitive materials require superior quality.
What makes XY-Micro unique in micro waterjet cutting?
XY-Micro is designed to meet the growing demand for high-precision small waterjet cutters that handle intricate parts with minimal post-processing. Key features include:
- Tilter14 Cutting Head: Tilts up to 14 degrees to compensate for taper angle error, providing straight cuts with exceptional precision and eliminating micro-scale taper – without support for 3D cutting, which is not a priority in this niche.
- Advanced Calibration Method: A proprietary technique where we laser measure all machines with high quality measuring equipment to create calibration tables that give the machine a very high repeatability and positional accuracy. We also use ball-bar to compensate the cutting head and ensure optimal performance. This method is carried out on all machines at manufacture and repeated annually during servicing for customers with service contracts, ensuring the highest tolerance and precision over time.
- Linear motor control for XY motion: We use linear motor control for a completely backlash-free and extremely accurate XY motion, which minimizes vibrations and improves overall precision at the microscale – an advantage that enables dynamic movements with low weight and high safety.
- Compact and Versatile Design: As a compact waterjet cutting system, it fits perfectly in smaller workshops, focusing on both one-off and series production without unnecessary complexity.
XY-Micro builds on Kimtech’s 41 years of expertise in waterjet cutting technology and integrates seamlessly with our existing models such as XY-Small, Medium and Large. It’s a sustainable solution for the future, with environmentally friendly processes that avoid heat impact and toxic by-products.
“We are excited to launch XY-Micro, which takes the precision of micro water jet cutting to new heights. With the Tilter14 and our advanced calibration, we achieve tolerances that were previously challenging. Our goal is to offer a competitive machine that meets the real needs of the market,” says Jimmy Zaar, Service and Support Manager at Kimtech.
