Aquajet - Dedicated To Supplying The Latest and Most Innovative Technology In 1993, OMAX Corporation became the 1st company to make abrasive waterjet machining more precise, affordable, and easy to use. We are proud that the revolutionary work theyhave done has helped make abrasive waterjet machining one of the most versatile manufacturing technologies today. Now, two decades later, OMAXare the global leader in advanced abrasive waterjet systems and have made it possible for virtually anyone to go as far as creating high-precision complex 3D parts on their machines. There are 4 main factors that contribute to the exceptional speed and precision of OMAX JetMachining Centers: Superior software OMAX incorporates an advanced cutting model into the controller which automatically creates the optimal cutting path. It varies speeds and accelerations so that no time is wasted going more slowly than necessary. In addition, the OMAX controller automatically takes advantages of many speed-up tricks that would be too difficult and cumbersome for a human to program. eg: The OMAX controller automatically adds corner passing on corners that will allow for it. This can result in speed increases from 5 to 25%, depending on the geometry of the part. This process is automatic, and does not require additional work or knowledge from the operator. The OMAX controller automatically adjusts the speeds and accelerations around curves and corners to optimise the tool path for speed, precision, and square corners. This makes it very fast and easy to program the machine, and allows the parts to be machined as quickly as possible while still maintaining the highest tolerances. The OMAX controller selects the optimal pierce speed, and length, based on an advanced piercing model. This greatly speeds up the otherwise slow process of piercing the material, automatically and optimally. There are also tools such as the "optimal stack height calculator", which can be used to greatly speed up some categories of parts. Superior X,Y positioning system All OMAX JetMachining Centers are designed for high precision machining. A combination of precision mechanics, rigid construction, and precision velocity control from the software insures the highest degree of precision in the machined parts, even in shops where vibrations from other tools such as punch presses or fork-lifts driving by may exist. Superior direct drive pump technology OMAX pumps are highly efficient, so 33% more horsepower makes it to the nozzle than in the competing intensifier pump designs. This means that for the same horsepower rating, the OMAX system's pump will cut much faster, and at a significantly lower cost. Superior nozzle technology OMAX nozzles are designed for maximum precision, life & cutting speed
