Rotary Axis Head Offers 6-Axis Capabilities



OMAX offers several accessories for its OMAX JetMachining Centers to further increase their performance and versatility, including a rotary axis head that is built for infinite rotation while cutting. "The company has made its rotary axis even easier to program and expanded its parametric shape library for enhanced 3D pipe cutting," said a company spokesperson.

With a rotary axis, OMAX JetMachining Centers have up to 6-axis cutting capabilities that are designed to create accurate complex 3D parts from pre-existing CAD drawings or DXF files. "With the expanded parametric shape library, the rotary axis is ideal for pipe and tube cutting, simplifying challenging projects such as intersecting pipe fittings," said the spokesperson. "The accessory's drive head also allows for customized fixtures. Additionally, the versatile attachment design of the rotary axis enables users to position the head in various locations in the tank."

Fully submersible and powered by common table controls, the rotary head does not require an additional power supply, according to the company. The accessory also contains a built-in water drip sensor with warning lights and automatic shutdown. Additionally, the rotary axis is equipped with external grease fittings that are built for easy maintenance.

"OMAX designs all of its accessories, including the rotary axis, to be retrofitable to its existing machine models," said the spokesperson. "Furthermore, the company is continuously improving upon its Intelli-MAX control software, which is now on version 21, to meet the diverse and changing needs of manufacturers. Such software updates are free to OMAX customers throughout the life of their machines."
