CUT THROUGH ANYTHING

A waterjet can cut through virtually any material, metal, plastic, nylon, acrylic, glass or stone.

“If you can’t cut it with a Waterjet, you can’t cut it at all!”

PRV Engineering take control of their prototyping with a Waterjet

PRV Engineering Ltd is based in Pontypool, South Wales. They manufacture a range of products for a multitude of industries. Offering an array of services including general and precision engineering, the production of machined components and turned parts, wet spray painting, powder coating, steel fabrication, installation and maintenance, structural and architectural steelwork, and more.

“It has allowed us to service those industries that we couldn’t access before. It has very much met our expectations. It has allowed us to do what we could not do before, without subcontracting out. It has allowed us to take control of prototyping. It does the job quickly, and allows us to cut all sorts of things that we couldn’t previously do.’’

ADVANCED CUTTING HEAD

The optional JD5ax features open up new cutting opportunities on a wide range of materials, maximizing the operational flexibility on the 5-axis waterjet CMS systems and ensuring very high standards of accuracy and quality of pieces obtained by an abrasive water jet.

INFINITE ROTATING AXIS

The innovative JD5ax head reduces taper while cutting at higher speed, without affecting the finished parts.

JD5ax is made up of a infinite rotary axis (C), an entirely new feature, and a tilting axis B) up to +/-60°, all designed and produced by CMS engineers.

FUTURE READY

Easyjet is a complete CAD/CAM suite for allround management of every aspect of the 3 and 5-axis waterjet machining, that eliminates the purchasing costs, maintenance and training of further third-party software products.

An integrated, automatic dredging system for a “no maintenance” abrasive removal process drastically reduces the amount of maintenance required to keep a waterjet operational.

The integrated Probe System ensures a consistent cutting height for all materials, even if the material is uneven.

DREDGING SYSTEM

PROBE SYSTEM

UNIQUE GANTRY

The heavy-duty gantry is stabilised with no compromises on quality and durability of the machine.

25+ UK Wide Service Engineers

AIR

+ WATER REELS

Ideal for cleaning cut parts and the cutting bed at the end of the material cutting cycle.

INTEGRATED PIPE CUTTING

The optional Pipe Axis Spindle further increases the Proline’s functionality, perfect for profiling tubes or sections.

The powder free labyrinth panels keep the linear guides and racks clear from water, dust and abrasives, reducing maintenance and downtime.

The tethered hand control allows for quick adjustments on the fly in the middle of a cutting cycle.

This optional innovative system featuring a camera built into the Z axis, allowing the work area to be framed and acquire one or more origins on the material due to be cut.

HMI CMC

The 21.5’’ Touch Screen display offers the operator a simple and intuitive interface that allows all system functions to be controlled.

OPTIONAL CUTTING CAMERA

PRESSURISED ABRASIVE FEEDING SYSTEM

The Proline features twin 330 kgs tanks for abrasive material. Allowing the machine to be refilled during operation.

REDUCTION OF CONSUMPTION AND OPERATING COSTS

FLEXIBLE

CMS has created a new concept of very high pressure intensifiers, enriched with technological contents, to meet the needs of the most demanding users. The original technological concept foresees that the intensifiers are equipped with several pressure multipliers: independent, parallel and electronically synchronized. This innovative solution makes it possible to obtain an always constant pressure, avoiding the drops typical of traditional opposing cylinder intensifiers.

VERY SILENT OPERATION

LOWER ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION: GREEN ENERGY

FAST & EFFICIENT

Two/three parallel, independent and electronically synchronized intensifiers, which enables an always constant pressure.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE THANKS

TO THE USE OF 80% FEWER STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

BUILT-IN AUTOCLAVE

CAN BE INSTALLED ON ANY WATER JET MACHINE

HIGH LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY: UP TO 60%

MORE THAN TRADITIONAL INTENSIFIERS

Tecnocut greenjet evo is a ground breaking, highly efficient, electric pump. A top-performance torque servomotor supplies a very highpressure level while removing the hydraulic unit and up to 80% of components compared to a traditional hydraulic intensifier.

CMS brought about a new concept in ultra-high pressure intensifiers, enhanced by technological solutions designed to satisfy the needs of most demanding users. This new technology is based on an intensifier equipped with several pressure multipliers independent, parallel and electronically synchronized. This innovative solution results in an ever-constant pressure avoiding any drops typical of traditional oppose-cylinder intensifiers.

CMS Waterjet Pumps; getting it right…

If the CMS waterjet cutter is the beast that will get the job done, then its beating heart is surely the waterjet pump and that is what we are going to look at a little more closely; each of the options in the CMS range has its benefits, so getting it right is a very big deal… How do you choose which one is best for you?

Incoming power supply is the first and most vital factor to consider, as increased ampage is needed for greater pump horsepowers. Thickness of your materials is another common question we come across, but generally; whatever fits between the cutting base and the machine head is fair game to be cut, as you increase in motor size of course, then the quicker that cutting process will be. Therefore if you know your incoming power supply, you can select the right pump for the cutting time that you and your production require.
