Previews
High-Speed Servo Press Feed
Arku Coil Systems
Booth B4747
Arku Coil Systems, Inc. will showcase its new Hi-Speed ServoMaster press- feed system, while also demonstrating parts leveling with a FlatMaster 55 machine using a new control and simple operator inter- face. The Hi-Speed ServoMaster handles strip cross-sections to 600 mm2. Depending on strip dimensions, the system accelerates at up to 50 m/sec2 to a maximum feed velocity of 200 m/min. Feed accura- cy is better than ±0.1 mm, and the unit supports press speeds to 400 strokes/min. with pilot release. Its Arvis control auto- matically calculates the speed of upstream equip- ment after a few cycles, enabling the operator to rapidly synchronize all of the modules in the line to protect the equipment. www.arku.com
Nickel-Product Processing
A Trio of Waterjet-Cutting Demonstrations
United Performance Metals Booth B1209
Representatives from United Performance Metals will be on hand to discuss how the company has increased its inventory of nickel plate product and has added processing capabilities to its facility in Houston, TX.

Flow International Corp. Booth B3925
Flow International will run live demonstrations of three precision waterjet-cutting sys- tems at FABTECH, showcasing its
Mach 3b and Mach 2c machines.
Flow will equip a Mach 3 machine
with its HyperJet pump, rated at 94,000 PSI, and its Dynamic Water- jet technology with Active Tolerance Control, along with FlowMaster software specifically designed
for waterjet cutting.
The Mach 2c is a value-priced

machine tool optimized for
either pure or abrasive-water-
jet cutting. Whether cutting
3-in.-thick steel plate or mul-
tistacked gasket material, the
Mach 2c provides fast and accurate cutting at an
exceptional price. At FABTECH, the Mach 2c will be shown with the new HyPlex Prime pump (shown), which has a highly modular design that allows customized pump performance at a low production-level price. www.flowwaterjet.com
