Abrasive water-jet cutting machine EDGE X-5

for metalsheet metalCNC

Jet Edge’s Edge X-5 features 5-axis waterjet cutting that is capable of bevel cutting to 60°. Complex 3-D parts, including impellers and gears, can be cut in the hardest materials with a taper-free finish. Controlled with the fully-networkable Aquavision DI, the system is optimized with multiple heads, nesting software, laser surface mapping, and lights-out cutting. Coupled with a Jet Edge UHP Pump, your system is optimized for your environment. • 5-axis cutting head can cut bevels to 60° • Isolated motion system for accuracy • Adjustable pre-loaded anti-backlash recirculating ball screws • Linear bearings, hardened precision ground ways • Protected critical bearing components with labyrinth seals and positive air pressure • Direct-couple, AC brushless servo motors with absolute encoders • Dual synchronized y-axis drive system • Technical service and free lifetime factory training CONTROLS/ACCURACY • Aquavision DI fully-networkable, industrial PC controller • Full visibility and access to machine code • Digital readout for multi-head positioning • Full-featured hand-held pendant • Precision ball screws directly coupled to servo motors • Precision ball screws directly coupled to servo motors • ±0.001″ repeatability (bidirectional) • ±0.003″ renishaw ballbar tests of squareness and straightness over 24″ (608 mm) • Factory set ranges of 500–750 IPM rapid positioning based upon application • Motorized or servo motor driven 12″ (304 mm) vertical travel height control • Programmable secondary Z carriage, servo-motor driven 12″ (304 mm) height • Optional 18″ and 24″ Z carriage vertical travel • High pressure water monitor and abrasive delivery monitor
