Waterjet Technologies Increase Efficiency
Featuring Jet Edge’s Permalign Edge cutting technology, the Mid Rail gantry is capable of cutting precise zero-taper parts and bevels ranging to 55 degrees in harsh industrial environments.
Another product, the X-Stream xP90-100 waterjet intensifier pump, is said to increase cutting speeds and pressures while lowering operating costs. The 100-hp (75-kW) pump is capable of producing 90 KSI (6,200 bar) and supports 75-KSI (5,200 bar) continuous operating pressure. It is capable of producing flow rates of 1.45 gpm (5.49 L/min.) and supports an orifice as large as 0.017" (0.43 mm). Fittings and tubing are rated for 100 KSI (6,900 bar). The pump is also available in a 50-hp (37-Kw) model.
