The Future of Fabrication

A unified fabrication ecosystem that includes waterjet cutting, fiber-laser cutting, and press braking will come to life.

FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORP., a developer of waterjet technology and advanced manufacturing solutions, will exhibit its latest innovations at IMTS 2026, in the East building at booth 135002. Featuring the NX Pro waterjet, LZR fiber laser, and HyperBend press brake paired with an assistive robot arm, Flow will demonstrate how manufacturers can cut, bend, and build with greater flexibility, efficiency, and control - all from a single partner. At IMTS 2026, Flow will bring to life its unified fabrication ecosystem, through live demonstrations across cutting and forming technologies.

While previously introduced, the NX Pro waterjet, LZR fiber laser, and HyperBend press brake will make their IMTS debuts, together as a fully integrated experience. The combination of these solutions marks Flow’s evolution from a waterjet leader to a complete fabrication partner - delivering integrated cutting and forming solutions built for modern manufacturing.

The NX Pro waterjet is engineered to deliver next-generation efficiency, precision, and ease of use. With automated abrasive recycling and smarter system design, it reduces waste, improves consistency, and keeps operations running with less interruption - delivering a new standard in abrasive waterjet cutting.

The LZR fiber laser brings high-speed, precision cutting to metal fabrication. Designed for production environments, it enables manufacturers to increase throughput without compromising quality - all backed by Flow’s service and expertise.

The HyperBend press brake completes the workflow with high-accuracy forming and intelligent automation. Built for efficiency and flexibility, it enables a seamless transition from cutting to bending - reducing handoffs and accelerating production.

At IMTS 2026, Flow will showcase the HyperBend press brake operating with an integrated cobot, demonstrating automated bending in a real-world production environment. Together, the system highlights simplified operation, consistent accuracy, and increased throughput. Flow’s flexible robotic solutions can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of each customer’s bending applications.

Together, these solutions deliver a fully integrated approach to fabrication, simplifying operations and maximizing productivity.

Flow’s partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing will be on display too, showing how precision manufacturing performs in high-demand, real-world environments. The featured racecar highlights the role of accuracy, repeatability, and reliability in performance-driven applications.

From concept to car, Flow technology helps bring critical components to life - demonstrating the impact of advanced fabrication in action.
