AQUACUT ROBOT

by admin

 

This sophisticated eight axis robot runs in a personnel free zone along ten metres of track under remote computer control.  Very Large objects can be router sculpted up to 7.4 metres long.  A rotating table is used for statues.

The powerful variable speed router head has a refrigerated spindle for heavy work, also an automatic tool changer to select the most appropriate tool for the material being sculpted.

Whether you require a stone sculpture of your girlfriend or a polystyrene prehistoric monster for a film set, the versatility is astounding. There are many industrial uses including mould making and prototypes.

Shapes and cut paths from architecture or boat building can be generated in 3D CAD packages such as Solidworks or can be directly laser scanned.  Aquacut have a portable white light scanner which does not damage eyes and will travel worldwide to scan.

Etching and painting ceramic tiles

by Graham Heap

This week Aquacut are revisiting an old contract to create the 99 names of Allah in 600x600mm porcelain tiles.  From Aquacut's client's CAD files they created CNC files, cut, applied and weeded the blast masks, shot blasted the tiles and then painted them.  This technique gives an excellently defined edge and the client was delighted with the result.
