Tank Enhancements
Continuous Feed Hopper CFH600
The innovative Continuous Feed Hopper improves your production times by automatic garnet delivery to the abrasive waterjet nozzle. Utilizing pneumatic pressure to transport garnet from the large capacity 600lb (272 kg) hopper pot to the cutting head hopper, the Continuous Feed Hopper helps to eliminate unplanned downtime with the ability to fill the hopper while in use.
The Continuous Feed Hopper is designed to maximize production while simplifying operations. Quality engineering has resulted in a system that is easy to use and maintain.

Large Solid Removal System
The PLC-controlled Large Solids Removal System (LSRS) provides precise control over evacuation rate, zone selection, and duration for efficient removal of spent abrasive from a large-bed waterjet catcher tank. The LSRS gives the user operational flexibility by allowing placement of the LSRS up to 100 feet (over 30 meters) away from the JetMachining Center.

Features
- Standard Hopper can collect 2,200 lb (1,000 kg) of abrasive in industry standard bag size
- Skid & Hopper Unit can be located remotely, up to 100 ft (30.5 m) for optimum facility placement
- 1.5 HP diaphragm pumps provides strong suction power
- Abrasive removal rates up to 30 lb/min (13.6 kg/min)
- cUL-US compliant
Variable Speed Solid Removal System
The Variable Speed Solids Removal System (VS-SRS) gives the operator the ability to program flow rate and direction. The controller's programmability provides greater garnet removal than comparable fixed speed units. An optimized fluid return trough increases settling time and minimizes abrasive volume returning to the tank.
Available on these machines:
MAXIEM 1515, MAXIEM 1530, MAXIEM 2030, MAXIEM 2040, MAXIEM 2060, MAXIEM 2080, MAXIEM 3060, OMAX 2626, OMAX 2652, OMAX 5555, OMAX 55100, OMAX 120X, OMAX 160X, OMAX MicroMAX, OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X

Features
- Garnet removal rate as high as 5.6 lbs/min
- Productively removes both large and fine particles
- 3/4-yard hopper that includes liner for ease of removing garnet from hopper
- Optimized fluid return trough minimizes abrasive volume returning to the tank
- UL, CE and CSA compliant
Scissor-Style Plumbing
OMAX Scissor-Style Plumbing replaces the standard whip on the MAXIEM line and OMAX 2626. Scissor-Style Plumping increases flow between the pump and cutting head with a larger interior diameter 3/8 in (9.5 mm) diameter rather than the 1/4 (6.3 mm) in interior diameter of the whip.)
Available on these machines:
MAXIEM 1515, MAXIEM 1530, MAXIEM 2030, OMAX 2626
Features
- Only requires 10-foot ceiling height
- Increased water flow at the nozzle
- The rigid plumping is easier to maintain
- Swivels allow for compact machine tool operation
- Required for the A-Jet and Dual Pump configurations
Water Level Control
The OMAX Rapid Water Level Control is an easy-to-use, in tank pneumatic system that enables you to quickly raise and lower the water level of your catcher tank for underwater cutting. System control is conveniently located near the controller side of the waterjet for easy access.
Available on these machines:
MAXIEM 1515, MAXIEM 1530, MAXIEM 2030, MAXIEM 2040, MAXIEM 2060, MAXIEM 2080, MAXIEM 3060

Machine Status Indicator
Decrease operator observation and increase productivity with the machine status indicator lights for OptiMAX. Utilizing industry wide known-colored lights, operators can safely monitor the abrasive waterjet from a distance while also operating other equipment or completing other tasks while watching 4 active lights on the stack.
Available on these machines:
OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X
Features
- White Light: waterjet is idle and ready to operate with no faults
- Green = normal operation, indicating a waterjet action is taking place, such as performing a cut, move, or test, and no faults or abnormal conditions are present
- Amber = an abnormal condition, but the waterjet can continue performing cutting and moving operations
- Red = a fault condition, and the waterjet will be unable to perform any cutting operations
Under Bridge Lighting
Improve productivity and safety with under bridge lighting for OptiMAX. Direct illumination of the cutting surface allows for the operator to clearly see the nozzle location, with two LED light banks to aid in cut set up, visibility, and project completion.
Available on these machines:
OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X
Features
- Upon turning on the waterjet the lights will illuminate under the bridge
- Increase operator safety with more light to see the work piece
- More uptime and visibility of cutting path and parts
OptiMAX Bridge Pendant
The OptiMAX® Bridge Pendant allows the waterjet operator to move the Cutting Head and the Bridge along X, Z and Y Axis, dial in the cutting head to the work piece, or perform dry runs to test drawings or material fixturing.
