Electric Servo Pumps for Waterjet Cutting
The Quantum VP from TECHNI Waterjet uses less power and greatly reduces water consumption with a high efficiency servo motor that requires minimal cooling.

In Booth S-1789,TECHNI Waterjet™ (Lenexa, KS) – a leading technology supplier of durable 2D and 3D waterjet cutting machines that are easy to operate, reliable and accurate – introduces the “Value Range” of Quantum electric servo pumps (ESPs) that are designed to address the requirements of today’s competitive manufacturing industry. Three models are currently available: the VP 10/60 that is capable of running a 0.007 in orifice at 60,000 psi, the VP 15/52 that is capable of running a 0.010 in orifice at 52,000 psi, and the VP 20/55 that is capable of running a 0.011 in orifice at 55,000 psi.
With one of the smallest footprints in the waterjet industry, the Quantum VP is just 54 in x 21 in x 42 in and weigh 990 lb. It can also be operated off single or 3-phase 200 V – 480V and only require a 30A supply. The Quantum VP is less than 68 dBA when compared to an old fashioned hydraulic intensifier pump at 80 dBA, making the innovative ESP ten times quieter than the standard hydraulic pump. Instead of relying on an inefficient hydraulic system, this breakthrough technology uses an electric servo motor to directly drive the plungers, resulting in up to 60 percent less power consumption than traditional Intensifier Pumps. Not only does the Quantum VP use less power, but the water consumption is also greatly reduced as the high efficiency servo motor requires minimal cooling. These two factors, as well as the reduced size, noise, and oil requirements, make the Quantum VP an environmentally friendly solution.
