Overview

The Model 5555 JetMachining Center cuts complex flat parts out of most materials including metal, plastic, glass, ceramic and composites directly from a CAD drawing or .DXF file. JetMachining is ideal for short-run part production, just-in-time manufacturing, tooling and prototype part development. No tool changes or complex fixturing reduces setup times by at least 50%.

Features / Benefits

Standard Features

• Patented "Compute First-Move Later" motion control system including CAD/CAM software with online help.
• X-Y table with motorized Z-Axis.
• Pre-loaded linear bearings and precision ball screws.
• Complete component protection against water, dirt, and grit.
• Rapid water level control for submerged cutting.
• Durable abrasive feed system with precision OMAX MAXJET® 5 Nozzle Assembly.
• Ultra-high pressure direct drive pump.
• Hard plumbing.
• Vibration-free motion through use of patented shear damper.

Abrasivejet Benefits

• Machines a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
• Does not create heat affected zones or mechanical stresses.
• Rapid setup, no tool changes are required.
• Minimal fixturing required.
• Leaves behind a satin smooth edge, reducing secondary operations.
• No noxious gases, liquids, or oils are used in (or caused by) the machining process.
• Completes most work below 80 dBA for submerged cutting.

Materials Cut

Materials Cut

Each OMAX JetMachining Center is designed to easily cut an array of materials and thicknesses, from stone, metal, plastic and glass, to rubber, ceramics and composites. Currently, the most profitable precision applications involve metals such as aluminum, tool steel, stainless steel, mild steel and titanium, all materials commonly used in many engineering applications. With the ability to quickly and accurately machine nearly any two-dimensional shape imaginable in thickness up to 1" (2.5cm) or less than 1" (25 mm), OMAX is a versatile addition to any machine shop.

Financing

OMAX® Corporation and your OMAX distributor work with virtually all national lenders, each of whom consider the OMAX JetMachining® Center an excellent in fact "preferred" -- collateral.  That preferential treatment means we can tailor financing to your particular requirements.  Some of our program features include:

• Ease of Approval (many to most approvals on a one page credit application for an existing business)
• Delayed Payments
• Low Down Payments
• "Start-Up" Financing
• Financing Options for Upgrades to Your OMAX JetMachining Center (because every OMAX Center upgradeable for new options, since the first OMAX Center)
• Most importantly extended terms leases to 84 months, often with no prepayment penalties*

If you need particular lease features JUST ASK. At OMAX, we often work with our "lender network" to create a customized lease structure for you.

* subject to a minimum twelve payments having been received.
