generate beveled edges or cut countersunk holes, as well as machine 3-D parts with complex geometries. In addition, the accessory eliminates the need for many secondary machin- ing and grinding operations. A-Jet is retrofi table to existing machine models, and software updates are free to OMAX customers throughout the life of their machines.


Shop-Floor Machining in Sharp Focus MC Machinery Systems Inc. (Wood


Dale, IL) has continued to fi ll out its portfolio of machining technology for the shop fl oor with new additions to its wa- terjet, EDM, and milling machine lineup. The entry-level MWX3 waterjet machine features a solid-base construction and cantilever head design and is designed for production environments and new users of waterjet technology. MWX3 is equipped with a high-pressure S-50 KMT pump, which provides 60 ksi (4137 bar) of water traveling at high speed with 1.09 gpm (4 L/min) of water consumption through a maximum orifi ce size of 0.013" (0.33 mm). A smooth even fl ow of water is delivered to the cutting nozzle with a reciprocating hydraulic piston to ceramic water piston ratio of 20:1 pushing water into the accumulator. Mitsubishi’s MV wire EDM features


noncontact cylindrical drive technology, an improved power supply, autothread- ing, and deep submerged wire threading. The new cylindrical drive technology features a round magnetic shaft that creates a noncontact design using 360° of magnetic fl ux. The design delivers no wear, no cogging (jerkiness inherent in fl at plate systems), and no backlash for improved energy effi ciency, accuracy, and speed.


Waterjet Cutting Parts to 14-m Long The newest addition to Flow Interna- tional’s (Kent, WA) lineup of advanced


waterjet technology is the Mach 4 which features expandable modular design to cut workpieces up to 14 m in length. The Mach 4 is a high-end production machine well-suited for aerospace production. At IMTS, it demonstrated the complex
