OMAX to Exhibit Latest in Waterjet Machining
October 1, 2013
OMAX Corporation will demonstrate how modern abrasive waterjet technology cuts simple to complex parts from any material quickly and precisely at WESTEC. The affordable, high-performance MAXIEM 1530 JetCutting Center and A-Jet cutting head will be among the many advanced solutions to be featured.
"Well suited for smaller fabrication shops and metal service centers, the robust and highly versatile MAXIEM 1530 cost-effectively cuts high-quality parts from most materials, including metal, plastic, ceramic, stone and composites, within a 10 feet 2 inches by 5 feet 2 inches X-Y cutting travel area. The parts are cut directly from the plate with a single tool to reduce set-up time and material usage," said a company spokesperson.
"The MAXIEM 1530 JetCutting Center utilizes the company's intuitive Intelli-MAX Software Suite that provides faster, more precise and more accessible machining than competitive abrasive waterjet systems. With its patented motion control technology, Intelli-MAX Software ensures the fastest, most accurate waterjet cutting across a wide range of materials. The latest version of the software meets the growing trend of manufacturers processing 3D components by supporting up to five axes of coordinated motion on the MAXIEM," said the spokesperson.
With an A-Jet cutting head accessory, the MAXIEM 1530 is able to make precise angled cuts and bevels, as well as automatically correct for the taper normally found in an abrasive waterjet cut. The A-Jet adds two motion axes, enabling the cutting nozzle to tilt over a range from 0-degrees to 60-degrees from the vertical position. It can be used to easily produce beveled edges or cut countersunk holes, as well as machine parts with complex geometries. With its additional axes of motion, the A-Jet allows production of beveled edges in preparation for welding operations. Furthermore, use of this accessory eliminates the need for many secondary machining and grinding operations.
