WHAT MAKES THESE MID RAIL WATERJETS SO SPECIAL?

CNC Waterjet Cutting Machines utilize a Cross Beam Gantry with a Z Carriage mounted to it. The Z Carriage travel height establishes the Z plane of the cutting envelope and has a water only or abrasive cutting head mounted to it. The cross beam travels along two side rails to define the X and Y planes of the cutting envelope. The height of the cross beam the cutting head is mounted to classifies them as Mid Rail or High Rail Motions Systems. Mid rail motion systems have evolved into the industry standard and are most common in facilities where water jet cutting is done.

Jet Edge starts with a heavy-duty Cross Beam Gantry and rigid side rails to eliminate any flexing in the system. Precision anti-backlash recirculating ball screws, linear bearings, hardened precision ground ways coupled directly to AC brushless servo motors with absolute encoders drive the cutting accuracy. Critical bearing components are protected by labyrinth seals and positive air pressure (not flimsy bellows that wear and tear) to keep the drives free of debris that might compromise accuracy. The catcher tank is isolated from the motion system so no vibration from the cutting surface is transferred to the cutting head which would cause striations on the part edge.

TONS OF STEEL

With Jet Edge, you don’t get a cookie cutter solution. Your cutting needs are unique, so we collaborate upfront to configure the best waterjet cutting solution for you. Specify the cutting envelope, the number of cutting heads, types, and Z height travel for the base system. Custom features are reviewed for productivity and performance, including nesting software, lights out cutting, laser surface mapping, contact height sensors and bladder tanks for adjustable water heights. Additional fine tuning may include fixturing, material handling systems, garnet removal, or closed loop water filtration systems.
