Abrasive Jet Cutter NC-5AX: 5-axis Control Abrasive Type Ultrahigh-Pressure Water Cutting Equipment
ABRRASIVE JET CUTTER NC-5AX
AB-axis spec.
“Abrasive Jet Cutter NC-5AX” is a device that mixes of abrasive material into a water jet (WJ) to cut three dimentional hard material into any shape.
By controlling the AB axis within a range of ±10 degree, it achieves high-speed and high-precision cutting of complex three-dimensional shapes effectively.
Features
In addition to the XYZ drive axes, controlling the AB axis within a ±10° range has resolved the unique issues of “kerf taper” and “drag” associated with waterjet machining.
Mechanism with AB-axis spec.
The A-axis and B-axis each move within a range of ±10 degree.
Ideal for high-speed and high-precision cutting.
Realization of high speed and high precision processing
Sugino’s original “taper correction function” automatically controls the incident angle of the nozzle during the cutting process to prevent sloping of the cross sectional area. This feature simultaneously helps improve the processing speed and creates a more precise cutting.
Realization of high quality processing
The corner acceleration and deceleration function eliminates the drag specific to waterjet cutting. It also resolves shape defects at the corners.
Processing of up to 6 m-long workpiece
Large size workpiece can be processed by maximum 6 x 3m stroke.
Customization
X- and Y-axis strokes can be adjusted by 1 m with modularization of the moving equipment.
Low center-of-gravity body
Stability and accessibility to the workpiece are improved by decreasing the overall height.
The dual-axis gantry, low center of gravity, and symmetrical design realize a high rigidity structure.
