OMAX ROTARY AXIS
®

The Rotary Axis is a robust, waterproof rotary head that allows the abrasive waterjet to cut 6-axis* paths to
create complex 3D shapes. Constant rotational control allows for continuous cutting around a shape. Advanced
software features in the Intelli-MAX Software Suite grants the ability to cut complex shapes and angles when used in
conjunction with the A-Jet articulated cutting head. Precision rotations offer accurate cutting of multi-faceted shapes
®
and other geometric-shaped materials. The Rotary Axis can be mounted on any OMAX JetMachining Center,
®
significantly expanding the cutting capabilities.
*6-axis cutting requires A-Jet or Tilt-A-Jet ®
