Water Jet Cutting

GrayGlass utilizes two high precision Omax® Water Jet Machining Centers. GrayGlass' original center, an Omax® 2652 has been recently upgraded with a new multi-axis nozzle allowing for taper-free cuts. The OMAX 80160® precision abrasive waterjet system provides a large cutting platform for flat parts up to 168" x 80". It cuts sheet or plate material of any type up to 6" thick including metal, glass, ceramic, stone and composites. Raw material up to 4,000 lbs can be accommodated by the integrated overhead power-frame vacuum lifter. The precision abrasive waterjet system can cut positive, zero and negative kerf angles. All digital file formats are acceptable and yield 0.003" accuracy with the integrated CAD/CAM system.
