Intec® Value Series

Techni

The Intec® Value Series of Water Jet Cutting Systems represents the greatest "VALUE" for money available in the world of profile abrasive Waterjet cutting. Through integration of a 50HP Intensifier Pump, the Intec® can cut almost any material to 6" thick at maximum cutting speeds with minimum Capital outlay. The Intec® is based on the same design platform as the Techjet-X2®. It is these same design solutions that will provide each Intec® customer with a Waterjet machine that lasts longer and requires less maintenance, while delivering an easy to use, fast and accurate system at a very competitive price.

SOTWARE

Softec™ Waterjet Software

Every Intec® comes standard with Softec™ Waterjet Cutting Software. Some of the features of Softec™ include:

• DXF Importation
• Re-Start Cutting from Anywhere
• Simple to use C.A.D. package
• Off Site Notification
• Real Time Running and Simulation
• Focussing Tube Wear Compensation
• Multiple Origin Points
• Standard Objects library
  

Softec™ software runs on the very latest in controller technology, the AT2010. Developed by ANCA, one of the pioneers in servo control technology, and a leader in the very demanding “CNC Tool and Cutter Grinder” market, the AT2010 delivers maximum acceleration with ultra high speed feedback to ensure minimum processing time with maximum accuracy and best surface finish. It also incorporates “patented” technology such as the MPG wheel which allows the operator to take the machine along the cutting path, forwards or backwards to any point, simply by winding the hand wheel. Other features includes those like;

• Designs are automatically imported and translated from DXF part files
• Design Mode separate from the cutting operation
• Push button control on the main console
• High visibility beacon light, green
• Off site notification

STANDARD FEATURES

The Intec® Value Series has maintained many of the unique features of Techjet-X2® which has made it one of the most reliable and easy to operate Waterjet cutting machines available today. However, in order to provide the best "VALUE" machine available, it does do away with some features. These are things that do not directly affect the performance or quality of the end product, and are considered by many as "nice but not necessary". All of the features which are not standard on the Intec® may be added as options at any time, either with the original purchase or at some time in the future.

MECHANICAL

The Intec® drive system is a robust and unique design providing super-fast cutting speeds and traverse speeds of almost 1000 inches per minute, with high acceleration and deceleration rates while capable of maintaining high tolerances. Designed specifically for the harsh abrasive waterjet environment, the high precision stainless steel band and high friction pulley system is virtually impervious to the airborne abrasive. It is a simple technology providing high accuracy due to a friction drive having zero backlash. Fully enclosed Bellows that are Double Stitched and Vulcanized to ensure absolute protection of the drive system for the life of the machine.

Highest quality German made, machine grade linear bearings. Power "Z" axis allows fast and efficient Stand Off Height setting.

Stainless Steel protection strip along the front loading area. This will keep the machine looking like new for many years.

The AT2010 Servo Controller System delivers maximum acceleration with ultra high speed feedback to ensure minimum processing time with maximum accuracy and best surface finish. It also incorporates “patented” technology such as the MPG wheel which allows the operator to take the machine along the cutting path, forwards or backwards to any point, simply by winding the hand wheel.

HIGH PRESSURE COMPONENTS

The Integrated 50HP Intensifier Pump, is capable of delivering 1 GPM, at 55000 psi continuous running pressure, resulting in maximum cutting speeds. All high pressure components are designed and manufactured, exclusively for the Intec® by the world leader in Intensifier Technology, KMT Waterjet. Incorporating an 8" Plunger stroke (the longest in the industry) results in fewer strokes and therefore less maintenance and "down time", increasing the "VALUE" of your investment.

Fitted as standard with the KMT Autoline Abrasive Cutting Head. The Autoline uses less Garnet, less Power and less Consumables than any other cutting head available, as tested by the US Government, making it the most efficient available.

SOFTWARE

Every Intec® comes standard with Softec™ Waterjet Cutting Software, which has been developed by Techni Waterjet with two very clear goals in mind:

• To cut parts at the minimum cost with the greatest accuracy,
• To have a simple and intuitive interface with the operator.

The result, is a comprehensive “All-In-One” Windows based software, that is specifically designed for waterjet cutting. This maximizes productivity, and anyone with PC experience can learn to use quickly and easily.

At the "Heart" of Softec™ is Tru-Cut Technology, a highly sophisticated algorithms database that determines the optimum cutting speeds and machine ramping characteristics. Once you select the material to be cut, its thickness and surface finish required, the computer will take care of the rest, ensuring the minimum cutting time for any given part.

The Algorithms database was developed with the benefit of over 30 years of waterjet cutting experience from KMT. Through their thorough understanding of the effects of Ultra High Water Pressure, abrasive types and volume, cutting head set ups, corner geometry and the materials to be cut, they can determine the optimum ramping characteristics for any given part.

Other Softec™ Features include:

• DXF or “G” code programme importation
• Dynamic wear compensation, to automatically adjust for focusing tube wear
• Full Costing Package
• 5 different cut qualities, selectable for each line
• On-Screen running in real time
• Re-start cutting from anywhere
• Comprehensive Alarms Window
• Maintenance Timers
• Dynamic piercing and high or low pressure piercing
• Auto nesting and array nesting
• Standard objects library
• Simulation in real time
• Dry running
• Auto and manual functions for; kerf compensation, lead in�s/out�s and tabbing
• Straight or curved lead in�s/out�s
• Text for all windows fonts
• Extensive materials data base

CONTROLLER

Techni Waterjet�s new control system, the AT2010, utilizes the very latest CNC and Digital Servo Drive system. Developed by our control system partner, ANCA, the world leader in CNC Tool and Cutter Grinders. ANCA was one of the pioneers of CNC Technology, beginning manufacture in 1974, and today is one of the world�s most respected CNC developers.

The AT2010 provides the following benefits:

• Single processor architecture gives high processing speed and improved reliability. Data need not be transferred from the user interface processor to the machine control processor. One processor handles all functions without compromising speed and performance.
• Touch screen interface is a more �natural interface� for the operator, eliminating the need for an external pointing device.
• USB support allows the user to connect a large range of consumer devices such as USB flash disks, external hard disks, printers, digital cameras etc.
• CD read/write, DVD read provides for easy backup and permanent storage. It also easily facilitates future software upgrades.
• Built-modem allows for remote monitoring, diagnostics and support.
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) allows saving of active files and safe computer shutdown in the event of blackout, thereby protecting the CNC.
• Network backup including intranet access and file transfer to workstation.
