High Rail Gantry Waterjet Supports Multiple Cutting Heads



Jet Edge's High Rail Gantry waterjet system is designed and built for industrial use in high production waterjet shops.

This waterjet system supports up to 12 cutting heads, allowing shops to process jobs faster and take in more work. It is available in a wide range of sizes from 4' x 4' (1,200 mm x 1,200 mm) to 24' x 14' (7,300 mm x 4,200 mm). The High Rail Gantry features a 12" Z-axis (300 mm) or 18" Z-axis (455 mm). An extra 3" (75 mm) of travel can be added with an optional Sub-Z assembly.

The High Rail Gantry holds +/- 0.001" linear positional accuracy (over 12") per axis, +/- 0.001" repeatability (bi-directional) and 0.0004" maximum backlash. Its overhead design allows full access to the work envelope and raises the critical components out of the waterjet process environment. A stress-relieved steel-fabricated frame provides rigidity; coupled with rigid honeycombed steel beams, this allows stable but fast operation. Moving elements are supported on THK linear ways. Precision ball screws are directly coupled to servomotors. XY mechanical components are protected from the abrasive jet environment by a lip seal system. "This system, which uses brushes, labyrinth passages, lip seals and high-volume, low-pressure filtered air to protect critical motion components, provides longer service life compared to conventional bellows arrangements," said a company spokesperson.

The High Rail Gantry features Jet Edge's Aquavision Di controller. The Aquavision Di guides the user through the process from job setup to production. Single parts, mirroring, rotation, plate alignment and part arrays (optional) are available to the operator. It is fully networkable.
