The Marchetti Group's AXQUA is their latest Water-Jet system, used for cutting marble and other stone. AXQUA is also useful for different materials besides stone. The tub is completely made of stainless steel for more durability. We use high precision components for precision cuts. The machine is equipped with high pressure Pump model KMT (made in the USA ).
The machine is used for carrying out flat cuts via the
use of a special high pressure pump, which ejects a stream of water mixed with an
abrasive. This jet is capable of perforating different
thicknesses of
different materials such as; marble, granite, stone, metal, plastic,
paper, wood, glass, ceramics, etc. and with extreme precision.
The machine carries out movements on two axis at the same time, thus making the cut in one single run. The movement systems of the machine are controlled by an industrial PC
which interfaces with CNC system. It's made of a self supporting metal
framework. The cutting unit is
mounted on a vertical slide (Z) which runs on a bridge and this in
turns moves above the work surface. The machine moves on
tempered steel guides with slides containing high precision recirculating
ball screws, which are protected from water and dust by
guards and concertina sleeves to ensure impermeability from any
foreign bodies. The work surface is composed of interchangeable grills
which are incorporated in the water container, which is inserted inside
the frame of the machine. The safety guards of the machine are
stainless steel.
