The Psy-Winder 5-axis abrasive waterjet cutting head has just been released. Improvements include a height and crash sensor option, fixed mechanical tool tip, greater Z-axis vertical travel of 12" to 24" and a cutting angle from 0° vertical to 90° degrees horizontal.
Five-axis cutting is the perfect solution for cutting bevels and weld preps in material.
Software makes it fast and easy to program bevels on parts or to allow for taper compensation, which practically eliminates the taper commonly found on parts cut by a waterjet. Post-processors are available for both 2D and 3D CAM software.
Up to nine Psy-Winder 5-axis cutting heads can be installed on one crossbeam with a single X-Classic controller, that can be retrofitted to all past WARDJet systems and to most other waterjet systems. Depending on the waterjet system, speeds can be up to 2,000ipm.
