Material Holding System

The material holding system fixtures (secures) materials while machining a part. Fixturing prevents the material from moving, vibrating, floating, tipping, or falling into the tank. The abrasive jet stream is very powerful. The force exerted from the abrasive waterjet stream into the tank can move or float the material during the cutting process. If the material moves during machining, the part will not be precise and may be ruined.

See the help files for best practices tips on fixturing materials.
