Abrasive water-jet cutting machine EDGE X-3

for metalsheet metalCNC

The Edge X-3 Mid Rail Gantry 3-axis motion system is the no-nonsense workhorse of the Jet Edge line. With 3-axis cutting capabilities, the gantry supports multiple cutting heads across a range of custom and standard table sizes. This motion system paired with a Jet Edge UHP Pump works across industries and is capable of cutting complex parts from virtually any material. • Isolated motion system for accuracy • Cut with water or abrasive • 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 • ±0.001″ linear positional accuracy over 12″ (304 mm) per axis • ±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
