OMAXs MicroMAX JetMachining Center brings abrasive waterjet technology to the cutting of micron-level parts or part features from a wide range of materials, including exotic metals.

Ideal for prototype development and production runs, the MicroMAX is a highly rigid machine with a table size of 2 feet 4 inches by 2 feet 4 inches and an X-Y cutting travel of 2 feet by 2 feet.

It utilizes advanced high-precision linear encoders, innovative vibration isolation and intuitive software control systems to achieve a position repeatability of less than 3 microns and a positioning accuracy of approximately 15 microns (0.0006).

The MicroMAX comes equipped with a high precision 7/15 Mini MAXJET5i nozzle that features a 0.007 orifice and 0.015 mixing tube combination for quickly and accurately cutting delicate, complex patterns. Because it forms a jet stream carrying an extremely fine abrasive, the nozzle can produce a kerf as small as 0.015. The machine also has advanced pressure controls for piercing delicate materials.

Now, a smaller version of its OMAX Corporation’s Tilt-A-Jet cutting head designed specifically for its MicroMAX JetMachining Center is also available. The new Tilt-AJet accessory nearly quadruples the position accuracy of the nozzle enabling the machine to achieve virtually zero taper with most materials up to 3 in thickness. It is also 25 per cent smaller and lighter than the Tilt-A-Jet designed for OMAX’s other machine models and is nearly twice as rigid for less deflection. The Tilt-A-Jet for the MicroMAX employs 10 degrees of tilt, and is fully sealed for use in the abrasive waterjet environment.
