mid rail gantry
A Cut Above the Competition

• Industry Leading Precision and Accuracy!
+/- 0.001" Linear positional accuracy (over 12") - per axis
+/- 0.001" Repeatability (bi-directional)
• Sturdy design ensures lasting precision.
• Motion system separated from the catcher tank, eliminating
vibration and ensuring maximum part quality.
• Motion components are protected by metal covers with
brush seals versus bellows that can puncture or tear.
• 300 IPM contouring and 500 IPM rapid positioning (460V)
• Easy to load with a forklift or crane.
• Cuts virtually anything!
• Optional mirroring - cuts part cycle time in half!

Capable of cutting complex parts from virtually any material, this workhorse waterjet
system is designed to provide years of dependable service in harsh industrial environments. Its sturdy design separates the motion system from the catcher tank, eliminating vibration and ensuring maximum part quality.
The Mid Rail Gantry utilizes an industrial PC controller. 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 with heavy metal
covers with brush seals and positive air pressure. Available in many sizes, from 5’x5’
(1500mm x 1500mm) to 24’x13’ (7300mm x 4000mm), the Mid Rail Gantry supports
multiple cutting heads to maximize productivity. Optional mirroring capabilities make
it possible to cut part cycle time in half. Optional Permalign EDGE technology
eliminates taper and cuts bevels to 50°.

Aquavision Di Controller

The Aquavision Di Controller is the most advanced waterjet
motion controller in the industry. Its customized Visual Basic
front end guides the user through the process from job set-up
to production. Single parts, mirroring, rotation, plate
alignment and part arrays (optional) are right at your
fingertips. It is fully networkable, allowing part programs to be
generated offline and easily transferred to the system’s hard
drive for production.
