Edge Dual Carriage Mid Rail Waterjet

EDGE DUAL CARRIAGE

MID RAIL WATERJET

with Dual Independently Operated Z Carriages

The Edge Dual Carriage waterjet cutting machine is for those who demand both accuracy and productivity from their investment. The dual Z carriages operate independently so they can be programmed to double team a single part or cut two like parts simultaneously. Boasting ±0.001″ linear positional accuracy over 12″ (304 mm) per axis, ±0.001″ repeatability (bidirectional) and ±0.003″ renishaw ballbar tests of squareness and straightness over 24″ (608 mm), means never giving up on precision again.
