OMAX A-Jet

The patent-pending A-Jet® is a complete software-controlled, multi-axis accessory that features the exibility to automatically
compensate for taper, as well as cut severe angles up to 60° off vertical. The A-Jet cuts countersunk holes and precision shapes with
beveled edges at angles specied by the user. The accessory supplies additional axes of motion, allowing the operator to fabricate
and shape metal edges for weld preparation. The dynamic A-Jet is capable of a high level of positioning accuracy, resulting in
parts that need no secondary nishing.

FEATURES

• Cutting angle ranges from 0° to 60°

• Three modes of taper compensation

• Supplied with a MAXJET® 5i Nozzle, which includes an

OMAX High Angle Fusible Mixing Tube

• Designed for high ow/high power abrasive waterjet

applications with multiple pumps by using large diameter
tubing with minimal pressure loss

• Features a xed focal point design, where the XYZ axes do

not need to move as the head tilts

BENEFITS

• Eliminates secondary machining and grinding for fabrication processes,

ideal for common welding projects

• Easily creates countersinks and weld-ready edges

Precision angular motion can create unique 3D parts

•

• Fully automatic taper compensation to minimize taper on nished parts

• OMAX-unique High Angle Fusible Mixing Tube protects precision

mechanism

A-JET

Precise and complex three dimensional parts become a
reality with the OMAX A-Jet.

3D FUNCTIONALITY

With the A-Jet, 3D parts are now possible on an abrasive waterjet.
The continuous precision 5-axis movement of the A-Jet cutting head allows
for detailed 3D shapes to be cut from a wide variety of materials. With the
combination of the A-Jet and the optional Rotary Axis, the OMAX JetMachining
Center becomes even more versatile, allowing for complex and challenging 3D
shapes to be cut, such as beveled pipe ttings.

The A-Jet makes cutting bevels simple, and software controls
help to eliminate taper.

The Intelli-MAX Software provides full control over the A-Jet,
including manual tilt and direction angle input.

OPTIONS

• Terrain Follower automatically adjusts to accommodate warped at plate

• Rotary Axis allows for complex 6-axis 3D parts and precision beveled pipe

ttings

• 0.030” Fusible Mixing Tube for ner kerf size*

REQUIREMENTS

• A bridge-style OMAX JetMachining® Center (for cantilever-style OMAX

JetMachining Centers, contact an OMAX sales representative for details)

• OMAX 9-axis PC-based controller

• OMAX Intelli-MAX 18 Software Suite or later for taper compensation

SPECIFICATIONS

• Positioning Accuracy: ±0.09° (±6 arc minutes)

• 0.042” High Angle Fusible Mixing Tube standard

• Z-axis travel: 6” (152mm), up to 8” (203mm) when using shorter table slats in

the Catcher Tank

*Using the 0.030” size greatly reduces mixing tube life in exchange for higher
precision kerf size.
