WATER JET CUTTER
Abrasive Jet Cutter NC-5AX: Simultaneous 5-axis Control Abrasive Type Ultrahigh-Pressure Water Cutting Equipment
FEATURES :
The Abrasive Jet Cutter (NC-5AX) has been improved in response to customer feedback, addressing various aspects such as functionality, operability, ease of cleaning, and installation space. Below are its features:
Equipped with the new hydraulic intensifier type pump, “Aqua Servo Pump”
- Stable supply from low to high pressure with a servo motor-driven closed-circuit hydraulic system and proprietary control technology.
- 75% reduction in power consumption when water jet is stopped.
- 75% reduction in amount of water used.
- 82% reduction in operating oil used.
High-speed, High-precision
High rigidity by dual-axis gantry, low center of gravity and symmetry design, and 5-axis controlled single-point focus nozzle head with a maximum tilt angle of 50 degree realize high-speed, high-precision machining.
Mechanism with single-point focus specifications
It’s a single-point focus specification where the A-axis and C-axis rotate around the machining point of the nozzle.
When performing cutting operations, adjustments to angle and height can be made using the rotation of the A-axis and C-axis, enabling the quickest determination of nozzle orientation. This efficient method avoids the need to move the entire upper drive unit with each nozzle orientation change, allowing for efficient machining.
The A-axis can tilt up to ±50 degrees, while the C-axis can rotate ±360 degrees.
Capable of processing a wide range of materials from metals to brittle materials.
- Metal products: Efficient processing of rare materials with high yield.
- Material processing: Process materials unsuitable for laser or plasma cutting without thermal alteration, and manufacture various test specimens.
- Aerospace: CFRP, titanium, duralumin, etc.
- New materials: Glass laminates, cermets, FRP, ceramics, etc.
Simple Operations
Powered by the “Sugino Jet Processor,” which harnesses years of machining know-how compiled into a database. Simply entering data such as material and thickness allows anyone to start machining easily.
Flexible Layout Options
We have modularized the pump unit, abrasive supply device, control panel and piping cover step. This allows flexible layout adjustments to suit various working environments.

Processing Examples
Specifications :
Abrasive Jet Cutter NC-5AX: 5-axis Control Abrasive Type Ultrahigh-Pressure Water Cutting Equipment (AB-axis spec.)
FEATURES :
In addition to the XYZ drive axes, controlling the AB axis within a ±10° range has resolved the unique issues of “kerf taper” and “drag” associated with waterjet machining.
Mechanism with AB-axis spec.
The A-axis and B-axis each move within a range of ±10 degree.
Ideal for high-speed and high-precision cutting.
Realization of high speed and high precision processing
Sugino’s original “taper correction function” automatically controls the incident angle of the nozzle during the cutting process to prevent sloping of the cross sectional area. This feature simultaneously helps improve the processing speed and creates a more precise cutting.
Realization of high quality processing
The corner acceleration and deceleration function eliminates the drag specific to waterjet cutting. It also resolves shape defects at the corners.
Processing of up to 6 m-long workpiece
Large size workpiece can be processed by maximum 6 x 3m stroke.
Customization
X- and Y-axis strokes can be adjusted by 1 m with modularization of the moving equipment.
Low center-of-gravity body
Stability and accessibility to the workpiece are improved by decreasing the overall height.
The dual-axis gantry, low center of gravity, and symmetrical design realize a high rigidity structure
