Jet Edge Water Jet Pump Features Redundant Intensifiers

Jet Edge’s iP60-50R water jet pump has two intensifier systems. If one of the intensifier systems should fail or require service, the second intensifier system can continue operations until the intensifier pump can be shut down for service.

The iP60-50R produces 1.1 gallon (5 liters) per minute of ultra-high pressure water for precision waterjet cutting, water blasting, cleaning and surface preparation applications. It supports orifices up to .015” (.38 mm).

Like all Jet Edge waterjet pumps, the iP60-50R features Jet Edge’s reliable tie-rod design. This design has no threaded cylinder, no threaded end caps, and no threaded hydraulic cylinder, making it less prone to cracking than threaded designs. Matched-metal components prevent galling of hydraulic system components. Jet Edge water jet pumps feature hydraulic accumulators, which reduce wear on the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic fluid also is cooled and filtered. Jet Edge waterjet pumps feature a rugged hydraulic center section which incorporates high-duty cycle-rated piston seal and wear rings. Jet Edge’s hydraulic systems have a 4,000-hour warranty. Jet Edge water jet pumps also feature attenuators which smooth pressure fluctuations and deliver a constant and steady stream of ultra-high pressure water to the cutting tool, ensuring optimal cut quality.

Water Jet Abrasive Removal System Removes up to 10 Pounds of Garnet per Minute!

Chukar Waterjet, Inc., a leading supplier of waterjet parts for waterjet cutting and cleaning equipment, is pleased to introduce the Waterjet Cyclone waterjet abrasive removal system.

See Video and Specs!

Chukar’s Waterjet Cyclone abrasive removal system is a cyclonic garnet extraction machine that removes up to 10 pounds of garnet abrasive per minute from any waterjet cutting system. The system features a 1 yard hopper that requires only 25 square feet of floor space. It can be custom-sized for any waterjet tank.

The Waterjet Cyclone has numerous advantages. It is easy to set up and operate, can be operated while unattended, and requires no machine downtime to remove abrasive. The only moving parts that come in contact with the abrasive slurry are two check valves at the bottom of the pump. There are no expensive parts that have to be replaced due to abrasive wear. For more information about the Waterjet Cyclone abrasive removal system, visit www.chukarwaterjet.com or call 1-888-497-8749.

New CAD/CAM Nesting Software for Waterjets is Easy to Learn and Use

Jet Edge is now offering the easy-to-learn and use SigmaNEST Companion™ CAD/CAM nesting software on its precision waterjet cutting systems.

Developed by SigmaTEK Systems, LLC, of Cincinnati, SigmaNEST Companion uses a wizard-based approach to allow waterjet operators with little or no CAD/CAM experience to design, edit and nest parts quickly with little training. Available at a fraction of the cost of the full SigmaNEST program, Companion features numerous SigmaNEST functions such as DXF import, TrueShape nesting, automatic path generation, and NC code generation. With it, waterjet operators can load DXF files to automatically or manually nest parts. They also can create new tasks using standard shapes available in the program’s library. Companion also allows operators to edit part parameters and generate a variety of custom reports, including cost, layout and summary reports.

Jet Edge manufactures a full line of precision waterjet cutting machines, intensifier pumps and waterjet parts. Jet Edge waterjet tables are available in a wide range of sizes, from 30”X30” to 30’X100’. Jet Edge waterjet intensifier pumps are capable of producing pressures from 30,000psi to 90,000psi. They are available in electric and diesel models ranging from 30hp to 280hp. Jet Edge’s open-architecture motion controllers are compatible with most CAD/CAM software, including SigmaNEST and SigmaNEST Companion.
