Waterjet Precision and Versatility
October 1, 2014
OMAX Corporation will showcase the benefits of advanced abrasive waterjet technology with its OMAX 80X and MAXIEM 1530 JetMachining Centers as they cut a variety of materials and thicknesses.
"Ideal for cutting large-scale components or multiple-part projects from exotic alloys, metals, composites and more, the 80X is a robust, reliable system that requires minimal maintenance," said a company spokesperson. "The company will power this bridge-style machine with the industry's first 100 HP direct-drive pump with EnduroMAX technology that is designed to deliver higher JetPower, faster speeds and better cut quality over competitive intensifier designs.
"Show attendees will experience how the Tilt-A-Jet cutting head accessory enables the 80X to achieve 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. They will also see how the optional rotary axis allows the 80X to have 6-axis cutting capabilities to create accurate complex 3D parts from pre-existing CAD drawings or DXF files."
The all-new 1530 will represent the company's next generation line of MAXIEM machines. According to the company, these latest models offer enhanced durability, improved performance and faster production times for an overall increase in productivity and profitability. The company will pair the 1530 with a 40 HP direct-drive pump and optional A-Jet multi-axis cutting head to demonstrate cutting of beveled edges, angled sides and countersinks. The A-Jet also compensates for taper and creates 3D complex shapes.
OMAX Corporation will also spotlight its new computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software tool, Intelli-CAM, which is designed to further simplify the cutting of complex, precision parts. The Intelli-CAM software interfaces directly with the company's Intelli-MAX Software Suite and generates 3D tool paths from solid 3D models as well as performs 3D to 2D file conversions.
