The abrasive waterjet is a unique process which can cut virtually any flat material. The waterjet pressurizes water and abrasive garnet is then added to the .030" water stream through a mixing tube. The cutting head is mounted to a computer controlled gantry. This allows precision cutting of complex designs from materials up to 6" thick. With this process there is no warping or stressing of the material being cut. This process also eliminates heat affected zones (HAZ) from the material being cut.
Our Omax 60120 machining center features a cutting head and pump for production runs. The 80160 also features a cutting table that will process plates up to 60 inches wide by 120 inches long, and plates up to 6 inches thick. The Omax machine holds a +/- .005” tolerance on most material.
Our newest machine, the Mitsubishi DX Series, features an Ultra-high pressure, 60-horsepower KMT PRO Series pump with 90k psi at the nozzle for the fastest most efficient cutting. Standard on Mitsubishi’s is the abrasive removal system which uses a 300-gallon-per-minute water circulating system in the work tank that suspends the exhausted abrasive and pumps it through a cyclone system that separates the water and returns it back to the tank. The used abrasive is collected in a hopper for easy disposal and minimal maintenance is required.
Mitsubishi Water jet’s ITC (Intelligent Taper Control) system analyzes the cut and provides taper control automatically without the need for reducing speed. The technology allows for tilt and rotation of the jet to maintain accurate wall straightness with maximum speed. It uses a rigid mechanical tilt to compensate for the jet getting wider as it exits the focus tube, maintaining stream velocity and faster production of final parts.
