Jet Edge highlights X-Stream and more at expo
Jet Edge is to showcase its latest waterjet cutting technologies at the South-Tec Advanced Productivity Exposition on 6-8 October 2009 in Charlotte, NC.
Visitors will learn about Jet Edge's precision waterjet cutting products, including its 90,000lb/in2 (6,200 bar) waterjet intensifier pump technology and Mid Rail Gantry precision waterjet cutting machine.
The X-Stream XP90-100 waterjet intensifier pump is capable of producing 90,000 psi and supports 75,000 psi continuous operating pressure
Jet Edge technical experts will be available to answer questions about waterjetting applications.
South-Tec attendees can learn about the latest advancements in waterjet cutting technology during Jet Edge's presentation, 'The Latest Innovations in Waterjet Cutting', at 10:30-10:55 on 8 October.
Capable of producing complex parts out of virtually any material, the Jet Edge Mid Rail Gantry features an exposed tank that easily accommodates overhead loading.
It comes standard with one abrasive-jet cutting head; a second cutting head can be added to increase productivity.
Optional mirroring capabilities make it possible to cut part cycle time in half.
The Mid Rail Gantry is ball-screw driven for higher accuracy.
Its sturdy heavy-wall tubular steel construction eliminates vibration and increases longevity.
The Mid Rail Gantry utilises an industrial PC controller and can be configured so that all three axes are fully programmable (Z optional).
It also features direct-couple AC brushless digital servo motors and single or double carriages.
Critical bearing components are protected with heavy metal covers with brush seals.
The Jet Edge Mid Rail Gantry waterjet machine is available in many sizes, including 5ft x 5ft, 5ft x 13ft, 8ft x 5ft, 8ft x 13ft, 21ft x 5ft and 21ft x 13ft.
Jet Edge's 100hp X-Stream xP90-100 waterjet intensifier pump is capable of producing 90,000lb/in2 and supports 75,000lb/in2 continuous operating pressure.
The X-Stream achieves much faster cutting speeds and lowers operating costs compared with traditional 60,000lb/in2 pumps, enabling users to increase productivity and reduce part costs.
The X-Stream produces 50 per cent more pressure than a 60,000lb/in2 intensifier pump, resulting in a 40-50 per cent increase in productivity for many materials.
Compared with a 60,000lb/in2 pump, typical operating pressures of 75,000lb/in2 use 30 per cent less water, 30 per cent less power, and up to 50 per cent less abrasive, resulting in a 40 per cent reduction in operating costs.
The X-Stream is capable of producing flow rates of 1.45gpm and supports up to a .017in orifice.
Its fittings and tubing are rated for 100KSI.
The X-Stream is also is available in a 50hp model.
