Waterjet Machining Center handles large parts.
Press Release Summary:
Designed to accommodate sheets of material up to 5 x 10 ft, Model 55100 JetMachining® Center can cut complex flat parts from wide variety of metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and composites. Parts can be machined from pre-existing CAD drawings, or users can create drawings via Layout built-in design software. When Tilt-A-Jet(TM) nozzle is in use, Intelli-Max(TM) software automatically calculates and offsets natural taper that results from abrasive-jet.

OMAX® to Showcase Versatile Waterjet Machining Centers
At WESTEC 2006
Kent, Washington, January 24, 2006 - OMAX will be demonstrating its 55100 and 2626|xp model JetMachining® centers at WESTEC 2006. OMAX will occupy booth #3916 at the trade show, which takes place March 27-30 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.
The 55100 is one of two large-footprint abrasivejet machines produced by OMAX. Designed to machine large parts, the 55100 accommodates sheets of material up to 5' x 10' and can cut complex flat parts from a wide variety of metals, plastics, glass, ceramics and composites.
Based on the Windows® XP operating system, the OMAX software makes traditionally complex techniques easy for operators without in-depth knowledge of the abrasivejet machining process. Parts can be machined from pre-existing CAD drawings, or users can create drawings from scratch via Layout, OMAX's intuitive, built-in design software. With its minimal setup time, the machine provides particularly strong value to manufacturers working with short-run part production, just-in-time manufacturing, and prototype development.
The 55100 at WESTEC will also feature OMAX's Tilt-A-Jet(TM) nozzle, which achieves virtually zero taper in most materials. When the Tilt-A-Jet is in use, the Intelli-MaxTM software automatically calculates and offsets the natural taper that results from the abrasive-jet. The taper is moved from the part to the scrap, leaving parts with perfectly square edges.
OMAX will also feature it's 2626|xp model at the show. Specifically designed for maximum precision, the 2626|xp provides the highest accuracy available in waterjet machining. The machine is capable of up to +/-0.001" positioning accuracy over the entire 26" of travel.
