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.
The Edge X3-HR, 3-Axis High Rail Water Jet Cutter opens up the work envelope for easier access and raises critical components out of the processing environment. The Edge X3-HR is designed for high speed processing. By attaching a precision machined Spreader Bar to the Z Carriage, up to twelve sub-Z cutting heads can be mounted allowing you to cut twelve identical parts in one cycle. Each independently controlled Sub Z can utilize a water only cutting head or abrasive cutting head. Heads can be positioned manually along the spreader bar or automatically via your program. Incorporate load/unload systems for even higher efficiency levels as parts unloading is done while the water jet is cutting its next job.

Easy-access work envelope
Motion components protected from harsh process environment
There are many benefits to a High Rail Waterjet Machine. First of all, it opens the work envelope for easier access and the overhead design raises critical components out of the processing environment. The isolated motion system and rigid steel beams make this the most accurate waterjet cutter on the market. Incorporating the Permalign Arrow SL breakthrough 5-axis cutting head technology into your Edge X5-HR system allows you to bevel cut angles to 60° in the hardest materials with a taper-free finish. Aerospace, contract manufacturing and highly specialized applications companies that require accuracy, repeatability and high machine uptime from their abrasive cutting have found their system.

The variable aperture Permalign® V-Series Mini Hopper increases abrasive waterjet cutting productivity and profitability by allowing waterjet operators to easily make adjustments to abrasive flow, minimizing abrasive consumption. Its water resistant design helps prevent abrasive clogs that can cause stoppages and scrap out expensive material.
Infinite adjustment between .10 and 2 pounds per minute (45.4-907 gpm)
Jet Edge’s Contact Height Sensor contacts the work piece and senses nozzle height to assure consistent cut quality and optimum speed. The sensor arm can either ride on the plate or have infinite programming for the time it is in contact and raised. Jet Edge’s AquaVision® Di controller software also provides feature avoidance for the Contact Height Sensor. This protects the height sensor and cutting head by automatically providing a tool path that will not allow the cutting head to pass over a previously cut part which can tip up after being cut.

In-Line Chillers, used in conjunction with the Closed Loop Filtration System, cool treated water and return it to the high-pressure pumps at the recommended temperature. The chillers utilize durable, welded hermetic-scroll compressors and are equipped with digital temperature controllers. Models include a vertical air discharge which minimizes worker discomfort, reduces floor space requirements, and improves the ease of ducting air flow.
Jet Edge’s Abrasive Removal System reduces downtime and catch tank maintenance, making your application a cut above the rest. The system removes spent garnet abrasive and the self-dumping hopper receives the sludge so the clean water can be returned to the catch tank. No more manually removing abrasive from your tank—let a Jet Edge Abrasive Removal System do the work.
