DRILL HEAD

Standard Features

• Chrome-plated and hard alloy steel

components enclosed inside water­resistant cases and bellows to protect from
a waterjet environment

• Corrosion-resistant cylinder wall will not

rust in moist air

• Highly efficient 5,000 RPM air motor

provides maximum power with minimum
air consumption. Air motor design
promotes longer drill bit life and quality
drilled holes.

PC-based controller, the Drill Head can
quickly and automatically drill holes in
desired locations before cutting material
with a jet stream.

Drill Head permits repeatable piercing of laminates
and composites prior to abrasive waterjet cutting and
accurately pierces small diameter holes in thick material.
With Intelli-MAX® innovation, no separate programming
is required.

The OMAX Drill Head is mounted to the Y-axis carriage
and is easily adjustable in the Z-direction to move the
accessory out of the way when not in use. No external
power is required.
