Third Dimension
The benefits of purchasing a waterjet with an articulated cutting head and/or a rotary axis, or adding them to an existing system, are numerous. Cutting with a waterjet allows for weld-ready parts without the need for secondary procedures, speeding up part production for pipe fitting applications. Read
New chapter
At Space Metal Fabricators Inc., engineers use the latest technology to work with customers to take concepts and fabricate them into actual products that outfit the manufacturing, automation solutions, control systems, nuclear fuel and food service industries. Read
The Metal Machining Versatility of Abrasive Waterjets
In today's dynamic manufacturing world, flexibility is the name of the game. Those shops that adapt and succeed are those that have moved beyond a single-purpose machinery mentality and embraced highly versatile multi-purpose technologies. Read
A Nepalese Gristmill, a Waterjet and Fort Lewis College
With the aid of an Omax brand abrasive waterjet, students at the Department of Physics and Engineering at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO, are learning how their fabrication and manufacturing education can help solve concerns around the world. Read
Generative Design and the Conventional Machine Shop
Generatively inspired designs are created through a generative process but are further augmented to fit into the manufacturing capabilities of a specific shop. With the advancement of generative design software, a manufacturer open to new trends can more easily bring a generatively inspired product to market. Read
Barriers to Industry 4.0 Are Falling Fast
OEMs like OMAX Corp. and other major manufacturers, for example, have integrated Industry 4.0 solutions into their own production operations. At many smaller shops, however, the technology remains just out of reach. For that reason, OEMs must look for ways to streamline it and make it easily accessible. Read
Feel The Force
"Since Dr. John Olsen developed and patented a motion control system for waterjet water jet cutting systems in 1993, we have endeavoured to provide precise, easy-to-use, cost-effective, standardised, reliable and high-quality abrasive-jet machining systems to the manufacturing industry, with strong aftersales services."
