Waterjet Cutting System - Low Rail Gantry (Large Format)0 pages

low rail gantry

Jet Edge’s Low-Rail Gantry features a
gantry bridge traveling on a floor-mounted
rack and pinion drive system. The gantry,
comprised of two machined end-trucks
which support the main cross-axis beam
and deck, provides the platform for the
precision shape cutting processes. Its
design is rugged and accurate for heavyduty shape cutting and high-speed
positioning in lengths up to 50 feet.
The trucks, each equipped with individual
drive units, provide the motion along the x
axis. The double-drive unit prevents
lagging which could occur with a slave
truck that is free running or mechanically
coupled by an axle. Two steel wheels located in each truck assembly ride the machined top surface of the linear rails. A
pair of side-guide rollers at each end of the master drive truck straddle the rail contacting the machined sides for accurate guidance. An air blast nozzle located at each end of the truck removes dirt loosened by the wheel and rail scrapers.
Plasma can be added to the machine to increase its functionality.
Construction
All components are modular welded steel construction
with machined mounting surfaces, and are bolted together
to form a rigid machine frame.
