Maxiem 1530 By OMAX

WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT WE DO

Introducing North Simcoe Waterjet—a dedicated company established to cater to the diverse needs of various industries across Ontario. Whether in aerospace, mining, stone, tile, glass, toolmaking, or sheet metal fabrication, numerous businesses rely on the precision and efficiency of CNC Waterjet cutting technology to flawlessly cut their parts.

At North Simcoe Waterjet, we specialize in delivering top-notch waterjet cutting services with the aid of the latest and most advanced waterjet cutting technology from OMAX. Our commitment to high precision and accuracy ensures that we meet the demands of a wide range of industries, providing them with reliable solutions for their intricate cutting requirements.

How Does A Water Jet Work?

With an X-Y travel of 3m x 1.6m on our Maxiem 1530 machine we can handle most sheet sizes with ease and with a repeatability of 0.025mm we can guarantee accurate parts every time! Our pump runs at 90% efficiency (compared to 65% efficiency using traditional intensifier designs), resulting in lower water and electrical consumption allowing us to offer more competitive pricing than other waterjet shops. In addition, we have specialized hardware to allow for the piercing of brittle materials such as glass, plastics, and composites, as well as strategies to deal with laminated material, foam, rubber and gasket material.

We can accept most CAD formats. Please note that the customer is responsible for the accuracy and scale of CAD files provided.

Not only do we utilize modern equipment, but we also benefit from the reduced operating costs of being located in beautiful Midland Ontario, allowing us to pass on the savings of our lower operating costs to our customers in the GTA and beyond!

THE MOST ADVANCED WATERJET TECHNOLOGY ON THE MARKET

SOFTWARE

In order to cut quickly with precision, our software provides fast, accurate waterjet cutting for all shapes allowing us to make accurate cuts without trial-and-error programming.

X, Y POSITIONING

With an X-Y travel of 3mx1.6m we can handle most sheet sizes with ease. With a repeatability of 0.025mm we can guarantee accurate parts every time!

PUMP TECHNOLOGY

Our direct drive pumps perform up to 40 hp with operating efficiencies up to 90% and uses substantially less cooling water than inefficient hydraulic intensifier pumps.

NOZZLE TECHNOLOGY

Programmable Motorized Z-Axis coupled with a precision diamond-integrated MAXJET 5i Nozzle means we can cut virtually any material quickly and efficiently.

THE NORTH SIMCOE WATERJET DIFFERENCE

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Waterjet cutting technology has been around for decades. High pressure waterjet cutting technology truly took form in the post-war era, resulting in faster cutting and greater precision, although not very reliable. Now with the combination of a durable abrasive waterjet nozzle and a reliable high pressure pump, an abrasive waterjet cutting machine could now cut a wide range of materials including hardened tool steel, titanium, stone and glass.

The combination of reliable pumps, reliable nozzles, and an accurate control system makes waterjet cutting suitable and cost effective for any manufacturer for cutting almost any material quickly and accurately. This makes waterjet cutting the fastest growing manufacturing technology in the world.

OUR ADVANTAGES

MOTION CONTROL

We use an advanced computer model to accurately predict the motion and shape of the cutting stream and a motion control system to compensate for undesired jet motion. The result is a fast, accurate part the first time.

ADVANCED PUMP TECHNOLOGY

Our pumps efficiencies between 85% and 90% are typical. This means that 85% or more of the electric power supplied to the drive motor can actually be delivered to the cutting nozzle compared to the typical 65% or less of an intensifier.

PRECISE NOZZLE ALIGNMENT

Precise nozzle alignment is the key to unlocking unparalleled precision and efficiency. Even the slightest deviation can compromise the quality of cuts and increase operating costs, which is why we prioritize meticulous nozzle alignment to ensure the highest level of accuracy and cost-effectiveness.
