5-axis waterjet cuts 3-D parts, bevels to 50 degrees

Jet Edge’s EDGE X-5® 5-axis waterjet system is designed and built for heavy-duty industrial use. It cuts 3-D parts such as impellers and bevels up to 50 degrees.

The design separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and helping to ensure part quality. The machine uses an industrial PC controller. It is ballscrew-driven and features direct-couple AC brushless digital servomotors and single or double carriages. Critical bearing components are protected with heavy metal covers with brush seals and positive air pressure.

The unit is available in sizes from 5 by 5 ft. to 24 by 13 ft. An optional second cutting head can be added to double productivity.
