Capital Machine and OMAX Waterjet Corp. host three days of one-on-one machinery demonstrations showcasing the OMAX 80X Series JetMachining Center. The free, by appointment-only, event is scheduled for Nov. 10-12 during which visitors will be able to explore waterjet machining advancements in their own dedicated time slot.
The 80X Series JetMachining Centers incorporate multiple table sizes and customizable work envelopes for precise abrasive waterjet cutting of large-scale components and multi-part projects. With the specially designed IntelliMAX Software Suite and elite EnduroMAX Pump technology, 80X machines cut a range of materials and thicknesses from metals to advanced composites to glass.

- abrasive
abrasive
Substance used for grinding, honing, lapping, superfinishing and polishing. Examples include garnet, emery, corundum, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond in various grit sizes.
- abrasive waterjet ( AWJ)
abrasive waterjet ( AWJ)
System that uses high-pressure waterjets in combination with a slurry of fine abrasive grains to machine materials. See waterjet cutting.
- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- composites
composites
Materials composed of different elements, with one element normally embedded in another, held together by a compatible binder.
- waterjet cutting
waterjet cutting
Fine, high-pressure (up to 50,000 psi or greater), high-velocity jet of water directed by a small nozzle to cut material. Velocity of the stream can exceed twice the speed of sound. Nozzle opening ranges from between 0.004" to 0.016" (0.l0mm to 0.41mm), producing a very narrow kerf. See AWJ, abrasive waterjet.
