5-Axis Waterjet Cutting System Cuts Taper-Free and Beveled Parts



Featuring Jet Edge's Permalign EDGE technology, the EDGE X-5 waterjet is capable of cutting chamfers, weld bevels and 3D parts such as impeller blades. "The Jet Edge EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet system cuts complex taper-free and 3D parts from virtually any material," said a company spokesperson.

The EDGE X-5 features an industrial PC controller designed specifically for 5-axis waterjet cutting. The AquaVision Di Controller's open architecture design gives operators the freedom to fine-tune programs from any CAD/CAM/nesting software, utilizing standard G&M code. The system's Intelligent Work Envelope automatically adjusts depending on the angle of the cut to protect the operator, material and system components.

"The EDGE X-5 is designed to provide years of dependable service in harsh industrial environments," said the spokesperson. "Its solid design separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring maximum part quality. It is ball-screw driven for optimal precision and features direct-couple AC brushless digital servo motors and single or double carriages. Critical bearing components are protected by heavy metal covers with brush seals and positive air pressure."

The EDGE X-5 is available in sizes from 5' x 5' (1,525 mm x 1,525 mm) to 24' x 13' (7,515 mm x 3,365 mm). It is powered by a Jet Edge waterjet pump. Available pumps include 30-200 HP (22-149 kW), 60,000-90,000 PSI (4100-6200 bar) hydraulic intensifier and direct drive. Like all Jet Edge waterjet systems, the EDGE X-5 is made in USA.
