Maintaining consistently high precision in waterjet cutting requires meticulous calibration, particularly after a tool change. Traditionally, this process has demanded both expertise and time, as accurate calibration is essential to upholding cutting precision. Water Jet Sweden says its new Auto TCP Calibration Tool transform’s this critical step, automating the process for improved efficiency and reliability. With the new tool, calibration is completed in a fraction of the time, eliminating the need for specialised skills while consistently delivering precise results.

The Auto TCP Calibration Tool comprises three key components: special softwarefor seamless integration with the machine’s control system; ameasuring probe with robustbase plateforconsistent measurement accuracy; and a calibration ball thatprovides a fixed reference point for tool alignment.According to Water Jet Sweden, this combination ensures precision in all types of angled cutting. It is suitable for use on machines equipped with Alphajet, Beveljet or FiveX cutting heads.

“For an experienced operator, manual calibration typically takes 15-30 minutes, and even longer for less experienced users,” explains Stefan Johansson, system developer at Water Jet Sweden. “With the Auto TCP Calibration Tool, operators can complete the calibration process in just 3-5 minutes, with no risk of human error. The process is fully documented, with all changes verified and logged for future reference.”

Whether working with small batches or large-scale projects, the Auto TCP Calibration Tool helps optimise productivity without compromising quality. Its ease of use eliminates the need for advanced expertise, making it accessible for operators at all skill levels.

Ultimately, the Auto TCP Calibration Tool improves operational performance for perpendicular cutting, bevel cutting and freeform 3D cutting.
