OverviewThe AquaVision iQ from Jet Edge is an industrial control system for abrasive waterjet cutting. Built on modern hardware and software, it centralizes job management, automation and pump control to reduce setup time, improve machine utilization and support extended unattended production.
Core Capabilities- Advanced job management and Job Queue for saving and recalling complete production setups including multiple NC files, offsets and plate alignments
- Lights-out cutting support for extended unattended production runs and improved machine utilization
- Intuitive industrial touchscreen HMI with streamlined workflows and password-protected settings
- Integrated HERO pump management for direct pump control and status monitoring from the motion interface
- IIoT and Industry 4.0 readiness for equipment integration and facility-wide monitoring
Industry 4.0 and IIoTAquaVision iQ supports connectivity and data exchange for factory integration, enabling access to operational and performance data, easier integration with digital workflows, and support for facility monitoring and analytics.
Advanced Job Queue ManagementOperators can save and recall full machine setups and queued jobs to reduce setup time for recurring production, maintain consistency across shifts, and obtain estimated runtimes for better scheduling and lights-out reliability.
Dual Monitor CapabilityOptional secondary monitor support allows simultaneous display of IGEMS, diagnostics or programming alongside machine controls to streamline operation and troubleshooting.
Integrated IGEMS ProgrammingTight IGEMS CAM integration lets operators load and run programs directly from the controller interface, reducing reliance on a separate programming PC and simplifying the workflow from programming to production.
Integrated HERO Pump ControlsWhen paired with HERO pumps, AquaVision iQ provides direct access to pump status, pressure settings, ramp configuration, maintenance indicators and diagnostic information from the motion system interface.
Modern Touchscreen InterfaceThe HMI is optimized for operator productivity with clear touchscreen operation, simplified workflows, quick access to common functions, password-protected settings and redundant mechanical buttons for serviceability.
Expanded Lights-Out Cutting CapabilitiesOptional uninterrupted mode enables sequential processing of multiple queued jobs without modifying NC files, allowing longer unattended runs and reduced operator intervention.
Enhanced Height Sensing TechnologyImproved height sensing delivers faster response to material variations, more accurate nozzle positioning and consistent standoff control across complex geometries to improve cut quality and reliability.
Faster Response Through Advanced Drive TechnologyNew drive components improve motion responsiveness and feed rates while maintaining accuracy, reducing cycle times and lowering overall power requirements.
