Edge X-5 5-axis waterjet from Aquablast cuts impellers, bevels and more

The Edge X-5 5-axis waterjet system from Jet Edge, which is designed for heavy duty applications, is now available in the UK from Aquablast.

Capable of producing complex parts such as impellers and bevels up to 50°, the machine’s design separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and helping to maximise part quality.

Features include an industrial PC controller, ballscrew drives, direct-coupled AC brushless digital servomotors and single or double carriages. Critical bearing components are protected with heavy metal covers.

The US-manufactured Edge X-5 is available in sizes from 1,500 by 1,500 mm, to 7,300 by 3,900 mm. An optional second cutting head can be added.
