Jet Edge's High Rail Gantry Waterjet System produces complex parts out of virtually any material. Its overhead design allows full access to the work envelope and raises the critical components out of the water jet process environment.
The High Rail Gantry waterjet's stress-relieved steel fabricated frame provides unparalleled rigidity; coupled with rigid honeycombed steel beams, this allows stable but fast operation. Moving elements are supported on THK linear ways. Precision ballscrews are directly coupled to servomotors.
The XY mechanical components are totally protected from the abrasivejet environment by a lip seal system. This system, which uses brushes, labyrinth passages, lip seals, and high-volume, low-pressure filtered air to protect critical motion components, provides significantly longer service life compared to conventional bellows arrangements.
Jet Edge High Rail Gantry Systems are the most versatile ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjet and abrasive cutting systems on the market. They cut virtually any material and can grow with your business.
A Cut Above the Competition
Industry Leading Precision and Accuracy!
+/- 0.001" Linear positional accuracy (over 12") - Per axis
+/- 0.001" Repeatability (Bi-directional)
0.0004" Backlash - maximum
Sturdy overhead gantry design ensures lasting precision.
Motion components are kept up high out of the harsh process environment and are protected by metal covers and lip seals versus bellows that can puncture or tear. Clean filtered air blower fans provide positive pressure around the ball screws.
The motion system is separated from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring maximum part quality.
Multiple cutting heads and drills can be added to increase productivity.
Can be exanded in place as your business grows.
750 IPM Contouring and Rapid Positioning (460 volt)
Easy to load with a forklift or overhead crane.
Cuts virtually anything!
AquaVision Di Motion Controller
The High Rail Gantry is controlled by the PC-based AquaVision Di motion controller. Featuring a 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium M Processor, 160GB hard drive, 1GB DDR-RAM (expandable to 2GB) and six USB 2.0 ports, The AquaVision Di is the most advanced waterjet motion controller in the industry. From the customized Visual Basic front end, the user is guided through the process from job set-up to production. Single parts, mirroring, rotation, plate alignment and part arrays (optional) are right at your fingertips. It is fully networkable, allowing part programs to be generated offline and easily transferred to the system's hard drive for production.
