Bridge-Style Waterjet Cuts Complex Parts for Energy Industries



The OMAX 60120 JetMachining Center is designed to cut complex parts from a variety of materials often used in the energy industries.

OMAX Corporation designed its 60120 JetMachining Center with a 50 HP EnduroMAX pump, Tilt-A-Jet cutting head and rotary axis for speed and precision cutting performance. According to the company, the machine is applicable to a wide range of production runs across various industries, including those within the energy sector.

"As a bridge-style machine, the 60120 JetMachining Center can cut complex parts from a variety of materials, including advanced composites, exotic alloys, traditional metals and rubber," said a company spokesperson. "Featuring a high accuracy of motion, the 60120 can handle components measuring up to 5 feet by 10 feet.

"Like all OMAX JetMachining Centers, the 60120 comes equipped with the company's intuitive Intelli-MAX Software Suite that, when combined with the EnduroMAX Pump, provides higher cutting speeds and greater precision than competitive abrasive waterjet machines.

"The Intelli-MAX Software, which runs on the Windows operating system, calculates the velocity of a tool path at over 2,000 points per inch, allowing for complete control over the motion of an abrasive waterjet. The latest Intelli-MAX Software meets the growing trend of manufacturers processing 3D components by supporting up to six axes of coordinated motion. Free software upgrades are available to all OMAX JetMachining Center owners.

"Offered in a variety of horsepower options, the EnduroMAX Pump increases part-processing speeds and lowers the operating costs of all OMAX JetMachining Centers. OMAX engineered the direct-drive pump for optimal efficiency, enabling it to deliver more than 85% of the power to the cutting nozzle.

"Due to the Intelli-MAX Software Suite, the Tilt-A-Jet cutting head accessory is designed to provide advanced automated taper compensation capabilities. It achieves virtually zero taper with no reduction in cutting speed for the precision cutting of parts with square, taper-free edges, including interlocking pieces and dovetail fittings. Through the control software, the Tilt-A-Jet automatically calculates and adjusts the angle of the nozzle to accurately remove the natural taper from the finished part by transferring it to the scrap part of the material."

The rotary axis, capable of continuous rotary motion while cutting, provides expanded 3D cutting capabilities via the latest Intelli-MAX Software. When equipped with the optional rotary axis, an OMAX JetMachining Center can create accurate, complex 3D parts from pre-existing CAD or DXF files. The rotary axis is ideal for cutting pipe, circular or square stock materials and incorporates multiple mounting features on the output drive shaft. The accessory's drive head also allows users to attach customized fixtures.
