Water Jet Cutting

Discover Precision and Efficiency with OMAX Waterjet Cutting Machines

Waterjet cutting technology is a versatile method used to cut a wide variety of materials using a high-pressure jet of water mixed with an abrasive substance. The process involves the following key components and steps:

1. High-Pressure Water Generation: Water is pressurized to extremely high levels, typically ranging from 30,000 to 90,000 pounds per square inch (psi), using a high-pressure pump.
2. Abrasive Mixing: In abrasive waterjet cutting, fine granular abrasive material (such as garnet) is mixed with the high-pressure water stream. This abrasive helps to accelerate the cutting process and improve precision.
3. Nozzle and Focus Tube: The pressurized water and abrasive mixture pass through a small-diameter jewel orifice in a nozzle, which focuses the jet into a fine stream. The nozzle directs this concentrated jet onto the material to be cut.
4. Cutting Process: The focused jet of water and abrasive rapidly erodes the material by making a small kerf (cut) as it travels through the workpiece. The speed and movement of the nozzle are controlled by computer numerical control (CNC) based on a pre-programmed design.

And OMAX specializes in cutting-edge waterjet technology, delivering unmatched precision and versatility for a wide range of industries. Their state-of-the-art machines offers exceptional versatility, allowing for intricate shapes and patterns without heat-affected zones or mechanical stress and are designed to handle diverse materials with ease, from metals and composites to glass and stone, ensuring superior cutting quality and operational efficiency. Part of the HYPERTHERM ASSOCIATES, they have 50 Patents for their various innovative features and have a market presence in 65 countries across the globe.

Omax Innovations:

1. Direct Drive Pumps

OMAX’s direct drive pumps are the most efficient pumps on the market. They don’t use hydraulic oil, so there is no need for costly chemical disposal when conducting maintenance. Also, the water and power consumption of a direct-drive pump is significantly less than other types of waterjet pumps. With the same configuration in pressure and motor horsepower, higher efficiency pumps lead to an increase in cutting speed, resulting in less production cost and increased output.

They have various models like:

1. EnduroMAX – Boasting 1,000 hours between maintenance cycles, the EnduroMAX’s simple yet robust design is specifically engineered to simplify maintenance through innovative features such as independent cylinders. Available in 100, 50, 40, and 30 HP options.
2. MAXIEM – Specifically designed for the MAXIEM line of waterjets, the pump’s three cylinders are coordinated to provide a smooth high pressure output flow. Available in 40, 30, and 20 HP options.
3. GlobalMAX – A simplified direct drive pump specifically paired with the GlobalMAX waterjet line. Available in 30, 20 and 10 HP options.

And also, they have DynaMax Intensifier Pumps as option.
