OMAX® Abrasive Waterjets Offer Large Scale Precision and Increased Speed and Flexibility
OMAX® Corporation's industry leading, precision abrasive waterjet system the 5555, will be on display alongside the 60120 JetMachining Center and the new OMAX Dual Pump Package at WESTEC 2008 from March 31 - April 3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Kent, Washington (PRWEB) April 4, 2008 -- The newest additions to OMAX® Corporation's industry leading line of precision abrasive waterjet systems will be demonstrated at WESTEC 2008. The 5555 JetMachining® Center will be on display alongside the 60120 JetMachining Center and OMAX Dual Pump Package in booth #2532 from March 31 - April 3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA.
OMAX's new 60120 JetMachining Center is a large format machine that is ideal for quick and accurate cutting of larger or multiple parts from stock up to 5' x 10' (1.5m x 3m) and has a footprint of 225" x 110" [5715mm x 2794mm). The 60120 is one of the most accurate large format machines in the OMAX line of JetMachining Centers, and features a 600 lb. abrasive delivery feed system, as well as an innovative traction drive that enables faster traverse speeds and faster throughput times when machining multiple and nested parts.
The 60120 employs a bridge style Y-Axis design that allows the cutting head to move past the catcher tank for unobstructed loading of materials. Like all OMAX JetMachining Centers, the 60120 has the ability to cut a wide variety of materials, including ceramics, composites, plastic, glass and stone, as well as metals like aluminum, tool steel, stainless steel, mild steel and titanium with an accuracy of motion up to +/- .003".
OMAX will also demonstrate the 5555 JetMachining Center. With a footprint of 131" x 95" (3.3m x 2.4m), the 5555 can fit in practically any shop, and is ideal for short-run part production, just-in-time manufacturing, tooling and prototype part development of material sizes up to 5' x 5' (1.5m x 1.5m). The 5555 excels at machining a wide variety of materials and thicknesses, and boasts accuracy of motion up to .003''. Like other machines in the OMAX lineup, the 5555 does not require tool changes or complex fixturing, reducing setup times by at least 50%. Its fast cutting speed, combined with minimal set up times, maximizes a user's flexibility and productivity.
Both machines come standard with OMAX Corporation's patented "Compute First - Move Later" motion control technology, which incorporates Windows® XP software. The system can calculate the velocity of a tool path at over 2,000 points per inch, allowing for complete control over the motion of an abrasivejet, and enabling precise, rapid machining. Standard features include a MAXJET® 5 Diamond Nozzle Assembly, motorized Z-Axis, ultra-high pressure direct drive pump and rapid water level control for quiet, submerged cutting.
OMAX will also debut its Dual Pump Package at WESTEC 2008. The fully integrated system utilizes two P4055V pumps to produce unprecedented cutting speed and power and a significant reduction in machining time compared to previous cutting models. Available in a flexible footprint, the package operates on the 3rd generation cutting model of OMAX Intelli-MAX® Software, which is designed to accommodate cutting at 80 hp. Additionally, the system allows highly efficient, redundant pump operation and permits users to switch between standard and high power operation to ensure the best operation for an application.
OMAX believes in manufacturing the best machines and accessories possible with the best software available, and works to continually develop cutting-edge technology and innovative software for its customers. As a result, each OMAX product comes with the OMAX Technology Guarantee, which provides software upgrades for all existing customers at no additional charge.
