carriages ride on rigidly mounted linear rolling bearings. The carriages are moved by preloaded ball
screws driven by steel reinforced timing belts from digital servo motors.
On the 80X and 60120, the X-beams are not connected to the catcher tank, and a traction drive with a
linear encoder is used rather than a ball screw for X-axis movement.
The entire bearing and drive mechanisms are surrounded and sealed using bellows or steel housings to
keep water and abrasive particles out of the table’s bearings and slides. The motors are brushless with
positioning feedback. Each command to the servo amplifier causes the carriage to move approximately
0.0005" (0.01 mm).

Tilt-A-Jet
The Tilt-A-Jet® replaces the Z-axis with a mechanism that precisely tilts the nozzle to offset the taper
naturally caused by the abrasivejet stream. The Tilt-A-Jet is ideal for operations requiring the cutting of
high precision parts.
