Waterjet Cutting

Reliability, On-Time Waterjet Parts Delivery
Earns Jet Edge Worldwide Trust
A remote copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo recently installed a Jet Edge EDGE X-5 five-axis waterjet cutting system. Mine officials plan to use the machine to quicken the completion of a copper-processing plant in order to double the mine’s productivity.
When selecting their new cutting machine, reli- ability was of utmost importance given the extreme remoteness of the mine. It can take up to three weeks to drive to the mine from Johannesburg, South Africa. Mine officials select- ed the Jet Edge machine based on the reliability of the Jet Edge X-Stream intensifier pump used to power another waterjet system in their shop, and on Jet Edge’s proven ability to quickly deliver spare parts to the mine.

5000 Series Five-Axis Waterjet
from MultiCam
MultiCam’s 5000 Series WaterJet, with its five-axis head, can produce up to 46-deg. angled cuts with extreme accu- racy and superior smooth edges. Machining with a water- jet is an erosion process and uses a fine stream combined with a machine-controlled abra- sive to cut material without heat. Avoiding a heat-affected zone means there is no material distortion and the smooth edge reduces further production pro- cessing and eliminates any edge grinding.
MultiCam WaterJets can cut virtually any material with a repeatability/accuracy of ±0.001 in.This allows for highly consis- tent parts and close fitup toler-
ances. Combined with KMT’s high-pressure pumps (at 60,000 and 90,000 psi), the MultiCam 5000 WaterJet will zip through your cutting material with the shortest possible cycle times.
