The IP68 five-axis head we engineer ourselves.
The cutting head is the part that decides the cut, so Rich designs and machines its own. A sealed, waterproof AC five-axis head that bevels 0°–60°, tracks slab height in real time, and generates basin paths on its own.
Own the head, own the cut.
Most machine builders buy their cutting head from a supplier and design the machine around it. That means they can't change its geometry, can't integrate its motion with the controller, and can't fix a wear issue at the source. They file a ticket with someone else. Rich machines the AC head at its own production base, so the seal, the five-axis motion, the altimetry and the CNC are engineered together as one system, and serviced by the people who built it.
Five axes, one sealed unit.
Sealed for the cutting environment
The head runs inside a constant spray of water and abrasive. Rated IP68, it's sealed against both water and dust, so the bearings and drives that hold angle stay protected, cut after cut, instead of degrading in the spray.
0–60° bevel for splices and angled edges
A 0°–60° pendulum lets the head cut 45° benchtop splices, mitered edges and angled work in one setup: no second machine, no manual finishing of the angle.
±65° A-axis, infinite C-axis
The A-axis tilts ±65° and the C-axis rotates without limit, so the jet can reach any contour and follow a closed path all the way around without unwinding.
Real-time altimetry
Slabs aren't perfectly flat. The head measures and maintains its height as it runs, compensating for undulation across the sheet so the jet keeps a consistent standoff and the cut stays even edge to edge.
Automatic basin & sink paths
Needle-type probing measures a sink or basin and generates the cutting path automatically; the bed can also be photographed to generate paths from the image, so complex cutouts don't depend on hand programming.
