OMAX JetMachining Center
The JetMachining Center is a precision tool that cuts parts out of most materials including metal, plastic,
glass, ceramics, stone and composites directly from a CAD drawing or DXF file. Eight versions of the OMAX
JetMachining Center are currently available: the models 2626, 2626|xp, 2652, 5555, 55100, 60120, 80160,
and 80X.

Major Components of the JetMachining Centers
Four major components make up the OMAX JetMachining
®
System (see Figure 2-10):
• Controller
The OMAX is controlled using a personal computer (PC) running the OMAX software. The Controller
starts and stops the pump, turns the water and abrasive On and Off, and guides the abrasivejet on
its precise tool path. Refer to Figure 2-11, page 2-8.
• High-pressure Water Pump
The high-pressure water pump pressurizes the water used by the OMAX abrasivejet nozzle. Refer
to Figure 2-2, page 2-2.
• X-Y Table
The X-Y table moves the abrasivejet nozzle above a large catcher tank containing water from the
cutting process and providing a settling tank for spent abrasive and work piece particles.
Pressurized air is required on all units for on/off valve and abrasive valve operation, and to control
tank water level.
• Abrasivejet System
In the abrasivejet nozzle, high-pressure water is forced through an orifice to form a narrow stream
moving at speeds up to 2500 feet per second (760 m/s). This stream causes a suction that draws air
and abrasive through the abrasive feed tube. The abrasivejet system consists of the high-pressure
nozzle and garnet feed system (hopper). Refer to Figure 2-10, page 2-8.
