Software’s cutting model increases waterjet machine predictability

OMAX® Corp. has released Intelli-MAX® 21 software for its JetMachining® centers. Featuring a fourth-generation cutting model, the new version optimizes tool paths automatically and provides predictability of cutting speeds, taper, and jet lag.

The cutting model within the software builds upon years of real-world abrasive waterjet data accumulated through the manufacturer’s first- and second-generation, equation-based cutting models, as well as from the data set of its third-generation model. The result is a cutting model that provides precise process and machine behavior predictions, reports the company.

The new version provides Tilt-A-Jet® users with increased speed and accuracy when machining inside corners and small radii, especially in thick materials, the manufacturer states. It includes improved AutoPath commands, improved import capabilities for DXF/DWG and PDF files, and enhanced memory for the 3-D Path Editor.
