OMAX® Dual Pump Package Offers Unprecedented Cutting Speed and Power
Kent, Washington, March 31, 2008 - OMAX® Corporation has announced the release of its Dual Pump Package, a fully integrated system that produces unprecedented cutting speed and power. The Dual Pump Package operates on the 3rd generation cutting model of OMAX Intelli-MAX® Software, which accommodates cutting at 80 hp utilizing two P4055V pumps.
The P4055V direct drive plunger pump operates at full power with a very low noise level and is driven by a variable speed electric motor for variable output pressure. Based on a single design platform, the pump delivers more than 90% of the electrical input power to the cutting nozzle and provides more cutting power per kilowatt than pumps using intensifier technology. Unlike intensifier pumps, the P4055V uses variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, which prevents the in-rush of currents upon starting the pump.
OMAX designed the Dual Pump Package for shops that specialize in cutting thick, difficult to machine materials and have high capacity production or multiple nozzle requirements. In addition to offering the highest cutting power on the market, the Dual Pump Package is a proven and reliable technology that operates both pumps at optimum efficiency and has an extended seal life in excess of 500 hours. Additionally, the system provides highly efficient, redundant pump operation and permits users to switch between standard and high power operation to ensure the best operation for each application.
OMAX believes in manufacturing the best machines and accessories possible with the best software available, and works to continually develop cutting-edge technology and innovative software for its customers. As a result, each OMAX product comes with the OMAX Technology Guarantee, which provides software upgrades for all existing customers at no additional charge.
