Shuttle allows waterjet operators to keep cutting while unloading parts

Jet Edge has introduced its latest generation of waterjet shuttle systems. Designed for high-volume, water-only waterjet cutting applications, the shuttles allow operators to continue cutting as they unload finished parts.

The shuttles are available in a high-rail gantry format supporting up to 12 cutting heads or a midrail gantry format supporting up to four cutting heads. The operator rolls out the top cutting table like a drawer and continues cutting on the bottom table as parts are unloaded. Powered shuttles are available.

An optional spreader bar allows operators to expand the cutting area beyond the waterjet gantry for cutting large sheets.

The shuttle systems feature the Aquavision® Di motion controller. It guides the user through the process from job setup to production. Single parts, mirroring, rotation, plate alignment, and part arrays (optional) are available.
