Flow Intl. Corp. has created the FlowTeach™, a system designed to quickly digitize patterns, templates, and parts into the company’s FlowMaster® software. The software and hardware systems are available for all Mach series waterjets and can be retrofitted onto most legacy systems.
When shops receive a template or a physical part that must be re-created instead of a dimensioned drawing, it can be time-consuming to turn that template or physical part into a cutting program. FlowTeach solves this problem by allowing the operator to find the periphery of the part or template, selecting points and thereby re-creating the geometry within the control.
The operator guides the company’s standard laser edge finder to capture points along a part’s geometry. The system’s interface of icons produce functions that support the creation of circles, ellipses, polylines, and arcs to both simplify and speed up the process. A wireless remote pendant allows the user to be close to the workpiece and accurately position the cutting head along the contours.
