Jet Edge, Inc. will demonstrate its latest waterjet cutting technologies by conducting live waterjetcutting demonstrations on its High Rail Gantry System utilizing the highpowered iP60-60 intensifier pump, AquaVision Di motion controller, and the new Digital Readout for Multi Head Positioning. The cutting systems are controlled by a state-ofthe- art AquaVision Di motion controller that guides users through the project step-by-step. During IMTS, show participants can see for themselves the versatility and speed of Jet Edge's High Rail Gantry System. The iP60-50 intensifier pump is rated for 60,000 psi and features an extended-life hydraulic system. The iP60-50 pump provides easy access for service and maintenance and features non-threaded high-pressure components in the high-pressure cylinder, an improved performance check valve, and low torque values. The cutting system is controlled by the AquaVision Di motion controller that guides users through the process from job set-up to production.

With the AquaVision Di, single parts, part arrays, mirroring, scaling, rotation, and plate alignment are right at users' fingertips. The AquaVision Di is fully networkable, allowing part programs to be generated offline and easily transferred to the system's hard drive for production. Feed rate and acceleration are automatically varied, based on known features of a specific job. Dynamic tool offset, or "cutter compensation," is employed realtime, and an optional real-time pump control allows remote starting and stopping of the pump, dual pressure set points for piercing hard-to-pierce materials, and unlimited data logging of every process parameter imaginable. The AquaVision Di includes a full-featured hand-held pendant that allows feedrate override, return-topath, program zero set points, and XYZ axis control.
