Jet Edge's 5'x5' mid-rail gantry waterjet cutting system is powered by a 60,000- or 90,000-psi waterjet intensifier pump, available in 30- to 200-hp models. The machine has an exposed 72"x72" tank, which accommodates overhead loading and cuts materials up to 60"x60". An optional second cutting head permits waterjetting two parts up to 30"x60". The machine can be configured so all three axes are fully programmable (Z-axis is optional).

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.
