Ultra-High Pressure 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting Systems

In Booth C-25085, Jet Edge, Inc. (St. Michael, MN), a leading manufacturer of ultra-high pressure waterjet technology, will perform live 5-axis abrasive waterjet cutting demonstrations on their X-Stream-powered EDGE X-5® 5-axis waterjet. They will also will show their premiere 75,000 psi (5,200 bar) X-Stream® pressure intensifier pumps and Closed Loop Water Filtration System.

The EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet cuts precise taper-free parts from virtually any material. The system is capable of cutting sophisticated 3D parts such as impellers and bevels up to 50 deg. This workhorse waterjet system is designed to provide years of dependable service in harsh industrial environments. Its sturdy design separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring maximum part quality. The ball screw-driven system features direct-couple AC brushless digital servo motors, providing the best repeatability in the industry at ± .001 in. Critical bearing components are protected with heavy metal covers with brush seals and positive air pressure. Productivity enhancing options include a second cutting head with mirror cutting capabilities, a pneumatic drill for pre-piercing materials that are prone to delamination, automatic submerged or above-water cutting capabilities, and a proprietary laser plate mapping feature that allows precise nozzle-to-plate standoff.

The EDGE X-5 features the Aquavision® Di industrial PC that gives operators the freedom to fine-tune programs from any CAD/CAM/nesting software, utilizing advanced HMI features and/or standard G and M codes. The EDGE X-5 waterjet machine is available in many sizes, from 5 ft x 5 ft (1,500 mm x1,500 mm) to 24 ft x 13 ft. (7,300 mm x 3,900 mm).
