10-hp Pump Option for the GlobalMAX JetMachining Centers

OMAX Corp. expands its GlobalMAX pump options with a 10-hp pump for the GlobalMAX JetMachining Centers. Designed for educators, job shops, fabricators and manufacturers who need an economical, industrial abrasive waterjet, this new pump delivers 30,000-psi pressure to the cutting nozzle. The GlobalMAX product line with the 1-hp pump offers all the benefits customers come to expect from OMAX: innovative drive systems, direct-drive pump technology, Intelli-MAX software and superior customer service.

The combination GlobalMAX with the 10-hp pump is priced as low as the mid $50,000s USD – or under $1,000 USD per month financed. Owners are able to upgrade to a larger horsepower pump if their needs outgrow the 10-hp unit.

The GlobalMAX JetMachining Centers can cut almost any material in any thickness up to 5 in. (0.125 m) without any heat-affected zone (HAZ). A number of compatible accessories are available including a terrain follower, a pneumatic drill and a bulk garnet feed hopper.
