Mid Rail Gantry Waterjet System Runs Up to Four Cutting Heads



Jet Edge's latest generation of Mid Rail Gantry waterjet systems is designed for heavy duty 24/7 use in industrial environments and is capable of operating up to four abrasivejet or water-only waterjet cutting heads for increased productivity.

Jet Edge Mid Rail Gantry precision waterjet systems hold +/- 0.001" linear positional accuracy (over 12") per axis and +/- 0.001" repeatability (bi-directional). Moving elements are supported on THK linear ways, precision ball screws are directly coupled to servomotors, and critical motion components are protected with metal covers, brushes, labyrinth passages, lip seals and high-volume low-pressure filtered air.

The Mid Rail Gantry separates the motion system from the waterjet cutting table, eliminating vibration and enhancing part quality. Motion is controlled with Jet Edge's signature Aquavision Di industrial PC controller. The Aquavision Di controller's customized front end guides the user through the process from job set-up to production. Single parts, mirroring, rotation, plate alignment and part arrays (optional) are at the operator's fingertips.

Available in sizes from 5' x 5' (1,500 mm x 1,500 mm) to 24' x 13' (7,300 mm x 3,900 mm), the Mid Rail Gantry comes standard with one abrasive jet cutting head, but can be equipped with up to four cutting heads. An optional mirroring package allows waterjet operators to cut large parts twice as fast.

The Mid Rail Gantry is powered with a Jet Edge UHP waterjet pump. Jet Edge waterjet pumps are available in 36,000 PSI, 60,000 PSI and 75,000 PSI models from 30-280 HP.
