ROTARY AXIS OMAX Rotary Axis The Rotary Axis is a robust, water resistant submersible rotary head that allows the abrasive waterjet to cut 6-axis* paths to create complex 3D shapes in tube, pipe, and bar stock. Constant rotational control allows for continuous cutting around a shape. Advanced software features in the Intelli-MAX Software Suite grant the ability to cut complex shapes and angles when used in conjunction with the A-Jet® articulated cutting head. Precision indexed rotations offer accurate cutting of multi-faceted shapes and other geometric-shaped materials. The Rotary Axis can be mounted on any OMAX JetMachining® Center, significantly expanding the cutting capabilities. *6-axis cutting requires A-Jet or Tilt-A-Jet® FEATURES & BENEFITS • Fully submersible rotary head • Multiple mounting features on output shaft including external and internal threads, flanges, and locating shoulders • Powered by OMAX common table control • Flexible positioning of the mounting and supports • Easy maintenance with external grease fittings • Built-in water drip sensor, warning lights, and shutdown • Incremental or coordinated continuous rotation • Rapid height adjustment wheel on High Torque Rotary Axis • Provides the ability for submerged cutting, leading to a cleaner and quieter process • Robust standard ACME and metric threads allow customers to adapt custom work holding fixtures • Can be relocated at various positions of the table, permitting sheet cutting and rotary cutting without removing the rotary head • Combines precision of abrasive waterjet and rotary head technologies • Opens up more design capabilities • No heat-affected zones when cutting metal materials
