Powerful water jet cutting systems are accurate

Jet Edge product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Mar 14, 2006
Water jet cutting systems can hold an accuracy of 0.005in with a repeatability of 0.001in and have hydraulic intensifier pump offering up to 30,000h of operation between maintenance cycles.
Jet Edge will demonstrate its latest waterjet cutting technologies at the EASTEC 2006 Advanced Productivity Exposition, May 23-25 at the Eastern States Exposition Grounds in West Springfield, Massachusetts, USA.
During the exposition, Jet Edge sales engineers will conduct live waterjet-cutting demonstrations on Jet Edge's High Rail Gantry System utilising the high-powered 55-50C intensifier pump, AquaVision Di motion controller, and the new Digital Readout for Multi Head Positioning.
Look for Jet Edge in booth 5557.
Jet Edge's waterjet-cutting systems cut nearly any material, from food products to hardened tool steel to titanium.
The company's systems are being used by the world's leading airlines, automotive and aerospace manufacturers as well as industrial manufacturing companies and machine and job shops around the world.
Jet Edge's customers include Ford, Toyota, General Motors, Boeing, American Airlines, and General Electric.
"Our cutting systems have many advantages," said David Dumas, Jet Edge sales manager.
"We are known for our very large work areas and accuracy.
We can hold an accuracy of 0.005 inch with a repeatability of 0.001 inch over the entire work envelope.
Our cutting systems are powered by a hydraulic intensifier pump that can offer 15,000-30,000+ hours of operation between maintenance cycles - on the hydraulic pump, depending on the model.
This, of course, means greater productivity and lower operating costs.
The cutting systems are controlled by a state-of-the-art AquaVision Di motion controller that guides users through the project step-by-step." During EASTEC, show participants can see for themselves the remarkable versatility and speed of Jet Edge's High Rail Gantry System.
They also can see Jet Edge's new improved 55-50C intensifier pump in action.
The 'heart and soul' of the Jet Edge waterjet cutting system, the 55-50C intensifier pump is rated for 60,000 lb/in2 and features an extended-life hydraulic system.
The 55-50C intensifier pump has been redesigned to provide easy access for all service and maintenance.
The new design features non-threaded high-pressure components in the high-pressure cylinder, an improved performance check valve, and low torque values.
The Jet Edge 55-50C intensifier pump leads the industry with ease of operation and low operating cost.
It requires very few tools to maintain.
The cutting system is controlled by the AquaVision Di motion controller that guides users through the process from job set-up to production.
With the AquaVision Di, single parts, part arrays, mirroring, scaling, rotation, and plate alignment are right at users' fingertips.
The AquaVision Di is fully networkable, allowing part programs to be generated offline and easily transferred to the system's hard drive for production.
Feed rate and acceleration are automatically varied, based on known features of a specific job.
Dynamic tool offset, or 'cutter compensation', is employed real-time, and an optional real-time pump control allows remote starting and stopping of the pump, dual pressure set points for piercing hard-to-pierce materials, and unlimited data logging of every process parameter imaginable.
The AquaVision Di includes a full-featured hand-held pendant that allows feed rate override, return-to-path, program zero set points, and XYZ axis control.
EASTEC participants are sure to be impressed by Jet Edge's new Digital Readout for Multi Head Positioning, which improves productivity by reducing setup time.
The Digital Readout for Multi Head Positioning digitally displays cutting head positions, eliminating manual measurement.
It is an excellent addition to your Jet Edge waterjet cutting system.
