OMAX 160X Series JetMachining Center

160X SERIES

The OMAX 160X Series JetMachining Center is the largest OMAX machine, with lengths exceeding fty feet. Utilizing the
innovative and precise Intelli-TRAX® linear drive technology designed exclusively for the abrasive waterjet environment, the
160X Series is a robust and reliable system that maximizes both machine time and prot margins. Innovative accessories such
as the DualBRIDGE, A-Jet®, and Rotary Axis greatly expand the versatility of the 160X Series with multi-axis, multi-head cutting
capabilities.

FEATURES BENEFITS

• Fastest cutting speeds and best precision compared to any abrasivejet in

the industry and is backed by our exclusive Intelli-MAX® Software with real
world cutting data
