Jet Edge will perform live 5-axis abrasive waterjet cutting demonstrations on its premiere 90,000 PSI (6,200 bar) EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet with Aquavision Di control and Closed Loop Filtration System. The waterjet manufacturer also will showcase its new BOSS-CUTTER waterjet system and its 90,000 PSI X-Stream intensifier pumps.
EDGE X-5 5-Axis Waterjet
Jet Edge's EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet is designed to cut precise taper-free parts from virtually any material. The system is capable of cutting 3D parts such as impellers and bevels up to 50°. According to the company, its sturdy design separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring maximum part quality. The EDGE X-5 utilizes the Aquavision Di industrial PC controller. It is ball-screw driven for enhanced precision and features direct-couple AC brushless digital servo motors and single or double carriages. Critical bearing components are protected with heavy metal covers with brush seals and positive air pressure. The Jet Edge EDGE X-5 waterjet machine is available in many sizes, from 5' x 5' (1,500 mm x 1,500 mm) to 24' x 13' (7,300 mm x 3,900 mm). An optional second cutting head can be added to double productivity.
BOSS-CUTTER Waterjet System
Designed especially for cost-conscious shops with limited floor space, Jet Edge's BOSS-CUTTER waterjet system cuts parts up to 6" thick from virtually any material. The BOSS-CUTTER is available in two sizes: 40" x 40" (1,000 mm x 1,000 mm) or 60" X 60" (1,500 mm x 1,500 mm). It can be configured for both abrasive waterjet cutting and water-only cutting (abrasive is added when cutting hard materials such as metals; soft materials such as foam can typically be cut with water only). The system comes standard with a 30 HP Jet Edge ECO-JET direct-drive pump, but can be upgraded to any of Jet Edge's 55,000 PSI (3,800 bar) pumps. Jet Edge offers both direct-drive pumps or hydraulic intensifier pumps, available in 30-280 HP models. The BOSS-CUTTER is controlled with a Windows PC and includes FlashCut Pro-Series Stepper Controller, FlashCutCNC software and IGEMS path generation software.
X-Stream Waterjet Intensifier Pump
Jet Edge's 100 HP, 90 KSI (75 kW, 6,200 bar) X-Stream xP90-100 waterjet intensifier pump is capable of producing 90 KSI (6,200 bar) and supports 75 KSI (5,200 bar) continuous operating pressure.
"The X-Stream produces 50% more pressure than a 60 KSI (4,100 bar) intensifier pump, resulting in a 40-50% increase in productivity for many materials," said a company spokesperson. "Compared to a 60 KSI (4,100 bar) pump, typical operating pressures of 75 KSI (5,200 bar) use 30% less water, 30% less power and up to 50% less abrasive, resulting in a 40% reduction in operating costs." The xP90-100 is capable of producing flow rates of 1.45 GPM (5.49 L/m) and supports up to a .017" (.43 mm) orifice. Fittings and tubing are rated for 100 KSI (6,900 bar). The X-Stream also is available in a 50 HP (37 kW) model.
Jet Edge offers hydraulic intensifier pumps and direct drive pumps. Available models include 36 KSI (2,500 bar), 60 KSI (4,100 bar) and 90 KSI (6,200 bar) from 30-280 HP (22-208 kW). Electric and diesel models are available.
Waterjet Closed Loop Water Filtration System
Jet Edge's Waterjet Closed Loop Filtration System is designed to eliminate the need for a drain by filtering and reusing water. According to the company, a closed-loop filtration system prevents the introduction of hazardous materials into drainage systems, protects the waterjet pump, maximizes orifice life and reduces water/sewage costs.
