Introduction
This guide provides information and instructions to operate the abrasive waterjet
cutting system. It explains how the pump and abrasive waterjet system work. It also
provides instructions on how to machine a part, how to start and stop the system, and
how the software (Intelli-MAX® Proto) is used to machine a part.
Abrasive Waterjet Overview
The ProtoMAX abrasive waterjet is a precision machining tool that operates under
software control using high-pressure water and garnet abrasive to cut complex parts
out of most materials including metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, stone and composites
using standard CAD drawing files.
Components
The ProtoMAX takes up little shop floor space. The cutting stage has a 12 in. (30 cm)
(X-axis) by 12 in. (30 cm) (Y-axis) cutting area with an easy material alignment system
for cutting parts. The precision drive components are protected inside sealed bellows
from water and garnet abrasive. The manual Z-axis allows cutting of materials up to 1
in. (3 cm) thick. The cutting area is fully enclosed by a see-through enclosure
supporting a safety interlock system to halt abrasive waterjet cutting when opened.
The ProtoMAX consist of the following major components:
