Hello, my name is Glenn Langdon I'm one of the directors of Techni Waterjet with my business partner Darren Reukers, we started the business back in 1989. Our focus was to design, develop, engineering products that are really beneficial to the waterjet industry. In this short video you're going to see features that are standard on our waterjet machine that really are beneficial to you the customer to make sure that you can cut successfully all day, every day. The advantages of the breakaway head is that when you're cutting and, if the material was to de-lodge and the cutting head was to hit the material or a clamp it could break the focus tube or the material. It allows the head when it hits to de-lodge and hit a limit and then the machine goes into an emergency stop mode. A unique feature that Techni offers is our Tech-Sense. The Tech-Sense monitors the abrasive flow to the cutting head. If we were to get a blockage the tech sensor is activated, and it pauses the machine from cutting. This allows the operator to walk away from the machine and feel confident that if the machine does stop, you're not going to be cutting with pure water only which could damage the material. Programmable abrasive feeder allows us to program the abrasive feed rate for when cutting high and low pressure, accurately. Water Raise/Lower is a function where we raise the water up so we can cut underwater, like submerged cutting. The benefits of submerged cutting is basically it suppresses the noise so it makes the water jet process a lot quieter and also when you're piercing holes it suppresses the mess so therefore it is a lot cleaner as well. Our standard system comes with Remote Pendant Control. This allows you to hold a pendant and to be able to move the cutting head in the x y and z axis. And also, if you have a PAC60 5 axis head installed, we are also able to move the b and c axis with this handheld pendant control. This enables you to position the cutting head anywhere on the cutting table with simple ease. Our goal at Techni has always been to keep all of our engineering in-house. We have developed our own software to control our system and an elaborate nesting package as well. When designing our water jet system, it's all about protecting the machine itself. You'll notice that our water jet machines have 360-degree bellows. This is really important to keep the motion system from getting abrasive dust and water which will corrode or damage the important motion system. Techni Waterjet is always mindful to ensure that the machine you purchase today in 10 years’ time it is operating as good as it is when it was brand new. Techni Waterjet's focus is always about keeping things simple our cutting table has slats that are simply just lift in and lift out, so when need to be replaced it's not a big drama and it's not expensive. The water jet process can seem slow cutting at times. Techni Waterjet has developed our manager app which allows you to do lights out cutting. This is a really important feature where you have that job that may take many hours to cut, our customers put the material on the cutting table, start the process and then go home. And then our app, if there is an issue, the app will actually contact your phone and report to you the problem: you can shut the machine down from your mobile phone or report back to the machine and resolve the issue and continue the cut. In 2009 Techni released the quantum servo pump. The big advantages of the servo technology: energy efficiency, quiet when cutting, the ease of changing seals, and now we've released the advanced diagnostics, enables us to check the pressure, the flow rate, the temperatures of the pumps, anywhere in the world. In 2017, Techni took it upon ourselves to develop our all-in-one Tech-Head diamond cutting head. What this means is that the diamond is actually assembled inside the cutting head itself. The advantages of the Tech-Head is the diamond is perfectly aligned with the wear insert through to the focus tube gives you more life out of the focus tube and a more consistent stream when cutting and therefore a better cut. Techni offer two abrasive feed systems: a 500-kilo hopper which can take the 25 kilo bags when loading or we have a two-ton hopper which allows you to take a one ton bulk bag to fill the hopper. The advantage of the 500-kilo hopper is ease of loading. As you can see, the hopper is at waist height so when you have the 25-kilo bag of garnet it is easy to hold the garnet on the edge, cut the bag, and to load into the hopper. Some abrasive hoppers are quite high, at chest height, which makes it virtually impossible to physically load the garnet into the hopper. This is a strong advantage of our abrasive feed system. We offer a garnet removal system to remove the garnet from the tank after the cutting process. This garnet will fall into a bag which enables you to lift the bag out with a forklift and then take the garnet to waste. Techni Waterjet is all about innovation. We designed our PAC60 5-axis head to be the most innovative product on the market today. Our PAC can do continuous rotation. The way we achieve this: we have the high-pressure water we have the abrasive and the air flowing through the center of the PAC unit. This allows us to do continuous rotation and never have to stop and unwind. Drilling head option allows us to pre-drill the pierce points before cutting. The advantages of drilling the pierce points: ensures that we do not delaminate the material when cutting materials like carbon fiber and other laminated materials. We have our Touch-Probe which will come down, touch the material, and set the standoff automatically. The Touch-Probe can also be used to map the sheet of material; it will measure the distance and make adjustments to the height when cutting. In recent years, we have seen the waterjet process become very popular in the stone industry. To move with the times, Techni Waterjet developed our Tech-Vision system that allows you to take an image of the slab of material on the cutting table so you can then bring your object over the material to nest in the correct position and to ensure that you can make the perfect waterfall on the edge of your benchtop. Techni Waterjet also offer Twin Cutting Heads. This allows our customers to cut the same part operating two cutting heads which helps you speed up production.
