Waterjet Cutting Machine

Overview

Ege15 waterjet cutting machine are the first Watex’s  flagship models ,  the perfect combination of proven performance, robust design, and exceptional price outperforms the standard waterjet offerings in the industry

Edge15 waterjets utilize German 1+F ball screws on the main beam and  Japan THK guiding  rail on the crossbeam which ensures accuracy across the additional length of gantry.

It has all the basic features you need for high precision 2D cutting, for both 4200 or 6000 bar technology. The Edge 15 machine has a single Z-movement where multiple cutting heads or a second cutting head  can be applied on a beam. There are a number of operational functions and tools available as standard options.

Linear motor and driver of the water jet cutting machine from Yaskawa

Watex waterjet cutting machine are driven by Yaskawa linear servo motors which are used to improve the reliability, speed, and accuracy of the performance. 

They can reach speeds as high as 5 m (196 inches per second) and reach an astonishing 206 s of maximum acceleration.

The linear servomotors are extremely energy efficient, and the effects of the motor’s heat being transferred to the other areas of your machine are minimized.

The main advantage of using this technology in the Waterjet Industry is to have zero backlash with no mechanical engagement and zero friction from the energy transaction.

Laser Calibration To Guarantee The High Precision For The Water Jet Cutting Machine

The X and Y axis and Z axis use the laser calibration to check the precision in it’s best situation guarantee .

Separate Stainless Steel Waterjet Tank:The improved heavy-duty tank design distributes weight evenly across the tank. The newly designed slats have a 4x longer lifetime, allow better gripping of material.

Reduce the risk of parts falling to the tank bottom. The durable, abrasive-resistant front rollers enable bearings to last longer and assist with loading and unloading of material onto the machine.

Saftey And Practicality Of The Separated Cutting Table

A working table separated from the machine ensures safety, precision and comfort of production. There is no fear that a forklift with which the cutting material is loaded can damage the waterjet.

Thanks to this, you will not be afraid to load heavy materials on the table. The mechatronics of your machine is always safe.

Thanks to a separate table, you can make lucrative orders to cut thick materials that your competitors are afraid of and earn more money.

Speed of valuation for the water jet cutter with Auto Nesting software

Our easy-to-use software allows you to make quick estimates of planned production.  You save a lot of time or you will be able to make faster pricing than your competitors.

This means that within tens of seconds you will be able to present the pricing of the cutting service to your client or assess the costs of the planned production.

Economical and efficient high pressure pump for waterjet cutting machine

Economical, efficient, reliable and easy to service pumps with power from 34 to 100 horsepower and maximum pressure from 3000 to 6200 bar enable economical processing of any details up to 30 cm in thickness.

The pumps are adapted to work 24 hours a day, so you can increase your production capacity and earn more at any time.

Continually monitors more than 200 aspects of the system during operation. Faults are displayed on the monitor. Review of the detected faults can reduce troubleshooting time by 70%

Safety Technology Of The Water Jet Cutter

. Boom Overload Protection Technology

Relief valves are mounted on the boom cylinder counterbalance valves. These valves will release pressure in the event of excessive boom load to prevent damage to the boom.

. Hopper Screen Interlock Technology

As an operator protection measure, the pump will automatically stop when the hopper screen is opened.

. The oil level in the hydraulic reservoir is continually monitored. If the level drops below a preset level, an alarm will sound and the pump will be stopped to prevent damage to the hydraulic system.

Versatile Cutting Head For Water Jet Cutter

In the standard equipment of each Watex waterjet, there is the option of 3D cutting head. Thanks to this, your waterjet cutting machine can cut angles without problems.

This option is important if you want to cut, for example, tiles ,irregular parts which are always very profitable for companies with waterjet.

• The 3D cutter head has five axes, 3 linear and 2 rotating. It has been designed for both pure 3D cut and 2D 1/2 cut (flat cut with bevel), without losing 2D (flat) cut functionality. Its design features offer great work possibilities. Especially its infinite rotation in the C axis, which avoids the need to rewind with a consequent reduction in working times and a lower risk of reducing the cut quality. On the rotating frame of the C-axis, it is possible to connect the height adjustment and anti-collision control module.
• It is also possible to eliminate the taper of the pieces, by means of a TCI JET CONTROL1.0 with a tangential cutting function using the 5-axis, that has been programmed in the CNC.
• The noise level generated by the machine has been set at 85 dB at a distance of one meter during cutting 10 mm material with one cutting head with a nozzle diameter of 0.30 mm and submerged cutting.

Advantages:

• Can be used with various cutting heads.
• C-Axis
• B-Axis
• Crash Sensor Block
• Provided by crash sensor.
• Provided by splash shield.
• Can be provided be auto height sensor.
• Its kinematic principle does not need a complex control algorithm, so the position error will be decreased.

Note: This level can vary considerably and exceed the set level (85 dB) depending on the cutting conditions and the shape of the pieces when cutting. Therefore, it is necessary that the client / user equips workstations around the machine with the necessary equipment (protective cells, ear protection for operators …) depending on the actual noise5-Axis Cutting Head
