OMAX 5555 JetMachining Center
The fast, efcient, and precise 5555 JetMachining
®
Center provides top performance in waterjet machining of complex parts from
many materials. From simple metals to complex composites, the 4’ 7” square cutting area of the proven 5555 is ideal for rapid
prototyping and just-in-time manufacturing of small to medium-sized parts. With simple xturing and easy access to the cutting
table, setup times are signicantly reduced, increasing productivity and protability.
