Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Technology Product Redesign



Now categorized as JetMachining Centers, OMAX Corporation launched its next generation MAXIEM machines. The next generation MAXIEM JetMachining Center product line encompasses five machine models designed and built in the United States. The most recent versions feature updated linear drive systems, a Z-axis core with optional multi-axis cutting heads and low ceiling height, along with several additional machine enhancements that include faster cutting speeds, streamlined abrasive hopper designs, self-leveling base legs and more.

MAXIEM machines are equipped with OMAX's Intelli-TRAX linear drive system that utilizes brushless servo motors, integrated servo drives and precision linear encoders that provide constant and continuous feedback on the actual cutting head position. In addition to increased part cutting accuracy, the advanced drive system delivers much faster and smoother motion.

OMAX configures the next generation MAXIEM with a new universal Z-axis core equipped with a precision MAXJET 5 nozzle. This universal Z-axis design with an updated modular head interface features 12 inches of controlled height travel. "Its design allows users to easily switch from a simple fixed cutting head to the versatile A-Jet multi-axis cutting head in a matter of minutes," said a company spokesperson.

MAXIEM machines build on OMAX's direct-drive pump technology with the 50,000-PSI pump that includes Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology for precise cutting pressure control. "The pumps deliver more cutting power per kilowatt than intensifier-type pumps and are available in 20-, 30- and 40-horsepower versions for MAXIEM machines," said the spokesperson.

The all-in-one Windows 8 controllers on the MAXIEM machines come pre-loaded with the OMAX Intelli-MAX Software Suite and feature large 23-inch display screens that provide easy viewing of part files and tool paths. "The Intelli-MAX software makes it easy to generate complex geometries and produce quality parts from virtually any type of material. The software is user friendly for both the novice operator and the skilled machinist. The software also features Intelli-VISOR, OMAX's system monitoring for predictable machine maintenance capability," said the spokesperson.

In addition to models with larger tank sizes and those specific ones featuring bigger cutting areas for processing standard size sheets of material from end to end, all the next generation MAXIEM machines sport a rigid tank design with leveling feet. The optional rapid water level control is designed for quiet and clean submerged cutting and fits into all the MAXIEM JetMachining.

Next generation MAXIEMs will come as core machines, allowing shops to equip their particular machine with specific OMAX options and accessories. Upgrading allows shops to equip their machine with other OMAX options and accessories as their production needs change.

Available accessories include:

  • Rapid Water Level Control
  • A-Jet 5-axis Cutting Head (with Smart Taper Control)
  • Intelli-VISOR Advanced System Monitoring Upgrade
  • Collision Sensing Terrain Follower
  • Variable Speed Solids Removal System
  • DualPUMP Packages
  • Bulk Abrasive Delivery System
