Extra Information

The gantry features all welded, stress relieved, reinforced components with all contact surfaces machined to ensure accurate matchup with mating surfaces. Machined wheels and roller bearings provide smooth, precise machine motion. The thick wall box beam provided ample strength and stiffness to support the process stations over a maximum of 20 ft. width. An independent reinforced deck supports all auxiliary equipment without placing any additional torsional forces on the main beam.


It can be equipped with ESAB’s Vision™ 52 Computer Numerical Control for the most advanced waterjet optimized motion control in the industry. Process control for any material is as easy as selecting the material type and thickness.


The main rail system is a floor mounted assembly with machined “T” rails mounted on fully adjustable cast steel pads, and protected by bellows covers (not shown). This allows almost unlimited cutting lengths. The “T” rails are machined on three sides and are tongue-and-groove on the ends to interlock at joints, thereby eliminating sideways movement. Adjustments are provided on the mounting pads to facilitate leveling and alignment. Drive racks are mounted directly to the machined surface of the rail, ensuring proper alignment.


The beam, ways, and drive rack are all protected by way covers, and all process stations use a fully enclosed high-speed vertical lifter. Smooth, accurate motion is provided by digital AC drive amplifiers, AC brushless motors and precision planetary gear boxes. The system is geared for the waterjet process, providing travel speeds from 0.1 to 750 ipm (2.54 - 19,050 mm/min).
