Abrasive Waterjet Technology
February 1, 2015
OMAX Corporation will showcase the benefits of advanced abrasive waterjet technology. Its new MAXIEM 1530 JetMachining Center will be paired with an optional A-Jet multi-axis cutting head. The A-Jet, which adds two motion axes for complete 5-axis machining, cuts beveled edges, angled sides, 3D shapes and countersinks while compensating for taper.
MAXIEM machines are equipped with OMAX's Intelli-TRAX linear drive system that utilizes brushless servo motors, integrated servo drives and high precision linear encoders that provide constant and continuous feedback on the actual cutting head position. The company reported that, in addition to increased part cutting accuracy, the advanced drive system delivers faster and smoother motion.
The 50,000 PSI pump includes Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology that regulates the electricity input to the motor to reduce overall energy costs. According to the company, the pumps deliver high nozzle horsepower, or JetPower for more cutting power per kilowatt than intensifier-type pumps, which increases operating efficiencies. The pumps are available in 20, 30 and 40 HP versions for MAXIEM machines, with a DualPUMP package also available that boosts the horsepower to 80.
The new all-in-one Windows 8 controllers on the MAXIEM machines come pre-loaded with the OMAX Intelli-MAX Software Suite and feature 23" display screens for 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," said a company spokesperson. "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 predictive machine maintenance capability.
