Jet Edge’s EDGE X-5 5-axis waterjet system cuts complex taper-free and 3D parts from
virtually any material. Featuring Jet Edge’s innovative Permalign EDGE technology, the
EDGE X-5 dramatically increases your waterjet cutting capabilities by allowing you to
produce chamfers, weld bevels and sophisticated 3D parts such as impeller blades - all
with a taper-free finish.
The EDGE X-5 features the Aquavision Di industrial PC controller designed specifically
for 5-axis waterjet cutting. The powerful and flexible Aquavision Di Controller features
an open architecture design that gives operators the freedom to fine-tune programs
from any CAD/CAM/nesting software, utilizing standard G&M code. The system’s
Intelligent Work Envelope automatically adjusts the work envelope depending on the
angle of the cut.
Like all Jet Edge waterjet systems, the EDGE X-5 is designed to provide years of
dependable service in harsh industrial environments. Its rock-solid design separates
the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring maximum
part quality. It is ball-screw driven for optimal precision and features direct-couple AC
brushless digital servo motors and single or double carriages. Critical bearing components are protected by heavy metal covers with brush seals and positive air pressure.
Aquavision Di Controller
The Aquavision Di Controller is the most advanced waterjet
motion controller in the industry. Users are guided through
the process from job set-up to production. Single parts,
rotation, plate alignment and part arrays (optional) are right at
your fingertips.

Jet Edge offers the widest selection of pumps in the industry.
30-200hp (22-149kw). Intensifier and direct drive pumps available.
