About the Hybrid Wire
Waterjet head Wire EDM head

• combines the high speed of a Flow water jet

with high accuracy of a Sodick wire EDM

• can be used as water jet or wire EDM only or

a combination of both machining methods

• if using combining both machining methods,

the change over time is 3 minutes

• unlike EDM, a water jet can cut non

conductive materials

Maximum roughing waterjet speeds

for the best in

for maximum part accuracy &
cutting speed surface finish

Maximizing machining productivity

• with the Hybrid Wire, the water jet process can be used for the roughing pass which
eliminates the need for start holes and maximizes the cutting speed while the wire EDM
process enhances the surface finish and part accuracy

Hybrid Wire Advantages

• the Hybrid wire eliminates the

need for multiple set ups

• because of the worktank, slugs will

float harmlessly to the bottom of the
tank
