At the core of Intelli-MAX software is an advanced cutting model that precisely predicts cutting speeds, taper, jet lag and other abrasivejet behaviors across a wide variety of materials and machine configurations.
Years of research and real-world data has enabled OMAX to develop a sophisticated software cutting model that takes into account characteristics specific to abrasive waterjets. The cutting tool used in abrasive waterjets is a stream of water, air and abrasive. The characteristics of this soft or “floppy” cutting tool are very different from those of rigid cutting tools found in traditional machines. The OMAX software cutting model incorporates algorithms for the unique dynamics of the waterjet cutting stream and the mechanical properties of various materials. This cutting model enables the Intelli-MAX software to optimize each job for speed and precision. The cutting model also enables Intelli-MAX to display accurate predictive data such as cost, abrasive used and production time for each job before cutting begins.
Software capabilities include calculating and setting:
- optimal lead-in lengths
- pump pressure
- cutting head motion speed for each individual tool path
