Gantry type water-jet cutting machine
max. 9000 mm x 30000 mm (30' x 100')
JET EDGE
The Jet Edge Low Rail Gantry waterjet cutting machine features a gantry bridge traveling on a floor-mounted rack and pinion drive system. The gantry, comprised of two machined end-trucks which support the main cross-axis beam and deck, provides the platform for the precision waterjet shape cutting processes. Its design is rugged and accurate for heavy-duty shape cutting and high-speed positioning in lengths up to 50 feet.
The trucks, each equipped with individual drive units, provide the motion along the x axis. The double-drive unit prevents lagging which could occur with a slave truck that is free running or mechanically coupled by an axle. Two steel wheels located in each truck assembly ride the machined top surface of the linear rails. A pair of side-guide rollers at each end of the master drive truck straddle the rail contacting the machined sides for accurate guidance. An air blast nozzle located at each end of the truck removes dirt loosened by the wheel and rail scrapers.
The Jet Edge Low Rail Gantry waterjet system can cut virtually any material and can grow with your business. Plasma can be added to the system to increase its functionality.
The Low Rail Gantry waterjet table is powered by a Jet Edge Water Jet Intensifier Pump.
