OMAX 55100 JetMachining Center

55100

With over a decade in operation, the OMAX 55100 JetMachining Center is the industry standard workhorse for high speed
precision machining. From prototyping to full scale manufacturing, the 55100 can cut materials up to 4’ x 8’ quickly and
efciently. The simple programming takes DXF or CAD drawings and quickly creates cutting paths, making the 55100 ideal
for short-run part production and just-in-time manufacturing. From small job shops to large production facilities, the 55100
JetMachining Center reduces cutting times and increases protability.

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

• Programmable Motorized Z-Axis with a precision OMAX MAXJET®5i Nozzle

Assembly can boost cutting productivity and process efciency

• Tilt-A-Jet® taper compensating abrasivejet cutting head

(available as an option)

• Precision X-Y Axis rigidly mounted to the cutting table

• Pre-loaded linear bearings and precision ball screws

• Low maintenance, high reliability scissor-style hard plumbing

• Drive system sealed against water, dirt, and grit

• High efciency Generation 4 EnduroMAX pump systems available in 30,

40, or 50 hp with operating efciencies up to 90%

• Rapid Water Level Control for quiet and clean submerged cutting

• Bulk Abrasive Delivery System transports garnet from the assembly’s large

hopper into the Zero Downtime Hopper located on the Z-Axis

• Optional Variable Speed Solids Removal System (VS-SRS) designed for

tough industrial use increases uptime through automated solids removal

• Shipped as a completely pre-assembled and factory-tested system

• Machines a wide range of materials and thicknesses, from metals to glass

• Does not create heat-affected zones or mechanical stresses

• No tool changes and minimal xturing reduces setup by 50% or more

• No additional water required for pump cooling

• Small, efcient footprint for minimal oorspace utilization

• Leaves behind a satin-smooth edge, reducing secondary operations

• No noxious gases, liquid and oils used in, or caused by, the machining process

• EnduroMAX pump technology delivers the highest nozzle horsepower in the

industry for faster and more efcient cutting

• Completes most work below 80 dBA at one meter for submerged cutting

• Environmentally “green” system with quiet and clean operation with low

electrical consumption

• Highly robust and reliable pump design capable of over 1000 hours

between maintenance
