The Windows based system is simple to use and maintain, it can import DXF and other files and automatically calculate optimum cutting paths, speeds, running costs, estimated completion times and many other variables instantaneously.

This provides the user with real-time information on machine performance, part cost control and the ability to make instant decision on any required changes for maximum flexibility and production output.

Overall, the functionality and flexibility provided by the Calypso machine is matched by highly competitive pricing, making it an ideal first time investment in the versatility of waterjet cutting or a second machine with major productivity advantages.

Initially Wightman Stewart will offer five standard Calypso machines with tables from 1.25 x 1.25m to 3m x 12m tables.
