Compilation of information on frequently asked questions or problems.
we think in cutting solutions.
expert CNC cutter
Is the vacuum adjustable to different positions?
The cut expert ecocam 2 offers selectable vacuum zones. This means that the vacuum in individual areas can be regulated and controlled differently if desired.
Which tools can be used with the cut expert ecocam 2?
For the cut expert ecocam 2 we offer 4 tools as standard:
- Oscillating tool (electric)
- Kiss-Cut tool
- Rotating blade
- Oscillating blade
Other tools for different applications on request
Do you offer a tool for perforations?
Perforation is possible with the perforation tool (on request)
Do you offer a tool for grooving and greasing?
Grooves and greases are possible with the groove tool (on request)
Can tools from other manufacturers also be used?
This depends on the manufacturer. Ask our experts.
In which standard sizes is the CNC cutter cut expert ecocam 2 available?

How often should the belt be changed?
In a 1-shift operation, a belt change is only necessary after about one year.
How often should a blade be changed?
When used in 1-shift operation, a blade should be replaced after 2 days at the latest, depending on the material.
expert waterjet cutter
How much water does such a water jet system actually consume?
It can be assumed that a glass of Kölsch (0.2l) with water is consumed per minute when the machine cuts.
Are the steel honeycombs installed rusty in the machine?
No, the colour of the steel honeycombs results from a heat treatment in the production process.
How long does the cutting surface last?
Steel honeycombs are wear parts with an average service life of 18 months. Since the table consists of several segments and these are worn differently, they can be exchanged with each other. Heavy used areas against low used areas. Only after this step should the cutting surface be replaced.
Why does expert use steel honeycombs?
The steel honeycombs reduce the residual moisture on the underside. If the water jet hits the steel honeycomb hole, the water jet is deflected in the steel tub without reflection on the underside of the material. If the water jet hits the steel honeycomb web, the reflection of the water jet is reduced.
What happens if a high-pressure hose bursts?
The sheathing of the high-pressure hose inflates and drips. The production is not under water. There is no more than 2.5 litres of water in the overall system between the pump and the machine.
How long does a nozzle last?
The service life of a nozzle naturally depends on various parameters, such as pressure and opening intervals. For sapphire nozzles, an average service life of approx. 14 days can be assumed in single-shift operation.
How high can the material height be during cutting?
You can't give a blanket answer to that. This is because the material height used depends on the material or the respective material composition (the so-called "density"). In general, the softer the material, the higher the material height may be when cutting. The reason is the natural tendency of water to "spread", i.e. drift apart, from a material height of about 20-30 mm. Or positive: Water has the most precise cutting sharpness at a material height of up to 20-30 mm. We are happy to carry out a free cutting test. Just ask us.
How big is the cutting time advantage of water jet when cutting leather?
In principle, the cutting time depends on the stencil geometry and the quality of the leather hides. From comparative tests in the automotive sector with a double gantry water jet cutter, we know that in comparison to a knife cutter, approx. 25 - 30% can be calculated.
Can the wastewater be reused?
In our opinion, the effort for filtration and processing would be too great. The waste water contains "only" the particles cut out of the material. And, on average, only 0.2l water is used per cutting minute.
Does the water need to be pre-treated?
We use the available tap water. However, we are happy to carry out a free analysis of your tap water. Talk to us!
expert training
Do I have to have special CAD knowledge to use the expert software?
All expert software tools are trained during installation. On request, training can also be carried out in advance in Bielefeld.
