Waterjet Optimizes Cutting Speed
The Mitsubishi Waterjet line is designed to complement EDM technology with the precision of the company’s controls and servo system.
The Mitsubishi Waterjet line is designed to complement EDM technology with the precision of the company’s controls and servo system. Software on the four-axis DX510 and DX612 features Intelligent Tapering Control, which corrects the natural tapering of the cut automatically. Through the CNC, it inclines the waterjet to ±2 degrees while pointing the jet toward the cutting direction. This process optimizes cutting speed in a contour with accurate wall straightness, the company says.
The machines are also available with a 125-hp, 90,000-psi pump from KMT. This intelligent, high-pressure pump design includes synchronized dual top ends, which enable constant jet pressure.
