Booth B-6951: For prototyping and low volume cutting of almost any material approximately 1 in thick, the compact ProtoMAX self-contained cutting system from OMAX is perfect for small job shops, engineering classrooms, makerspaces and personal use, and is a useful addition for large shops and fabricators that need occasional waterjet capabilities to complement their other cutting systems.

In Booth B-6951, OMAX® Corporation (Kent, WA) will demonstrate cutting-edge abrasive waterjet technology for every level of fabricating with four product lines and a wide range of productivity-enhancing accessories, including a rotary axis for 5-axis cutting that is ideal for tube and pipe, an A-Jet® cutting head for weld-ready edges and countersinks, and a Tilt-A-Jet® cutting head for taper-free cutting. Their easy-to-operate Intelli-MAX® software was engineered specifically for abrasive waterjets and no special machine code knowledge is required to use it. Online training for machine operation and maintenance is provided free, so users can access training information whenever they need it and at their own pace.
