OMAX Corp. continues to set new standards in abrasive waterjet cutting technology with the expansion of its line of Maxiem JetMachining Centers. The company introduced three larger sizes of its next generation Maxiem to meet the needs of shops, OEMs, metal service centers, and fabricators for large-scale production.
The first five models in the next generation product line were introduced in April 2014 to meet customer demands for cost-efficient, yet high-performance waterjet cutting technology with more productivity enhancing features. The lineup now comprises eight models including the new 2060, 2080, and 3060 JetMachining Centers.
The 2060 and 2080 models are ideal for a wide range of modern large format machining of parts up to 6' 7" wide by 20' 6" long and 27' 2" long, respectively. The 3060 JetMachining Center boasts a wider work envelope ideal for machining of a wide range of materials and thicknesses, from metals and composites to glass and plastics. This machine features a Y cutting travel of 10' 2", more than three and a half feet wider than the 2060, and an X cutting travel of 20' 6".
The complete lineup continues the tradition of easy-to-use, reliable and efficient abrasive waterjet machines designed and built in the United States. These JetMachining Centers also feature OMAX's industry leading Intelli-TRAX linear drive system that utilizes brushless servo motors, integrated servo drives and high precision linear encoders that provide constant and continuous feedback on the actual position of the cutting head. In addition to increased part cutting accuracy, the advanced drive system delivers much faster and smoother motion.
The all-in-one Windows 8 controllers on the Maxiem machines come pre-loaded with the powerful OMAX Intelli-MAX software suite. The Intelli-MAX Software makes it easy to generate complex geometries and produce quality parts from virtually any type of material.

- abrasive
abrasive
Substance used for grinding, honing, lapping, superfinishing and polishing. Examples include garnet, emery, corundum, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond in various grit sizes.
- abrasive waterjet ( AWJ)
abrasive waterjet ( AWJ)
System that uses high-pressure waterjets in combination with a slurry of fine abrasive grains to machine materials. See waterjet cutting.
- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- composites
composites
Materials composed of different elements, with one element normally embedded in another, held together by a compatible binder.
- waterjet cutting
waterjet cutting
Fine, high-pressure (up to 50,000 psi or greater), high-velocity jet of water directed by a small nozzle to cut material. Velocity of the stream can exceed twice the speed of sound. Nozzle opening ranges from between 0.004" to 0.016" (0.l0mm to 0.41mm), producing a very narrow kerf. See AWJ, abrasive waterjet.
- work envelope
work envelope
Cube, sphere, cylinder or other physical space within which the cutting tool is capable of reaching.
