Intermac Primus 184

MANUFACTURER: INTERMAC

COUNTRY: ITALY

Primus 184 can adapt to the various requirements of any production process, machining an almost unlimited selection of materials, regardless of the number and size of production parts. The Primus 184 is characterized by ease of operation, limited maintenance, and high productivity to meet the most demanding requirements for flexibility and precision machining.
 

Advantages & features

 
The Primus series combines performance and versatility with the reliability and ease of operation that characterize all Intermac solutions. In short, Primus is the art of simplicity. The material is cut by a jet of water under the highest pressure, which bursts out of the calibration hole at nearly three times the speed of sound (810m/s). Depending on the material to be treated, abrasive sand may be added to the water.

Waterjet cutting machines allow you to process products with the most complex geometries and virtually unlimited choice of materials.
 

The advantages of waterjet cutting technology:

 
Universality – Precise and flexible machining with virtually no material or thickness limitations;

No restrictions – Absolute freedom to create complex shapes; simplicity and quality;

Innovation – Cold cutting eliminates thermal and structural changes in the material being cut;

Economy – Reduced waste due to minimum jet diameter and minimum distance between workpieces, as well as the availability of an optimization program;

No tool magazine – No tool storage costs;

Flexibility – Variation of cutting time and cost depending on the required quality of the final product;

Reduced working hours – No need to equip the machine – No clamping system or tool change required;

Easy to use – Immediate machining thanks to an extensive database that allows the application of the correct process parameters depending on the material thickness and quality of the cut.

Characteristics:

The PRIMUS machine has a gantry design, the axes are driven by YASKAWA servomotors with rack-and-pinion gears. All guides and gears are protected against splash and abrasive dust by special labyrinth seals. The machine can have one or two cutting heads, 3-axis or 5-axis configuration, and can also have a 2-portal configuration.
