Fully-Enclosed microwaterjet® System Delivered to Synthes

Micro Waterjet has delivered the first fully enclosed microwaterjet® precision waterjet machining system to Synthes, Switzerland.

 

“This system, designated the microwaterjet® F4, is the next generation of machines and is available with a total enclosure.” states Walter Siegenthaler, executive vice president, Micro Waterjet LLC. “In addition to the enclosure, the delivered system also features a polymer concrete base which ensures platform rigidity to maintain the ±3 micron positioning accuracy necessary for the continuous production of precision parts.”
