Model Quantum Nxt -Waterjet Pumps

The Quantum NXT™ waterjet pump is a revolutionary concept in waterjet cutting. It contains a servo motor that directly surrounds a heavy duty precision ball screw. The ball screw directly houses the ceramic pistons that reciprocate to create the pumping action, much like a hydraulic cylinder in a conventional waterjet pump.

Predictive diagnostics

High-tech sensors, both on the oil and water circuits, enable communication with the pump. This information, combined with servo-drive technology, is fed into a computer that has incorporated more than 30 years of waterjet experience to develop algorithms that accurately predict when maintenance is required, minimising unplanned downtime. Thanks to the integrated router, the pump is visible online to a technician who can perform live troubleshooting.

• Diagnose potential maintenance problems
• Provide advice on how to perform maintenance

Designed for efficiency

Patented direct-drive servo technology is up to 60% more efficient than a typical hydraulic intensifier. Superior pressure control also maintains constant pressure during cutting, resulting in smoother edges and less spent garnet for each cut.

• Reduced carbon footprint due to less energy required.
• Can direct the energy generated to the areas that need it

Reduced maintenance

Compared to direct drive pumps, the Quantum NXT requires less maintenance. This is due to the speed of the plunger when moving back and forth. Its superior design with visual diagnostics allows easy, quick and ergonomic access to the pump when maintenance is required. In addition, typical hydraulic intensifiers have pressure spikes of 10% or more when the cutting head opens and closes, which significantly reduces the life of the HP pipes and fittings.

• Minimised machine downtime
• Saves maintenance and servicing costs

Environmentally friendly

The ESP not only significantly reduces power consumption, but also uses far less cooling water than conventional hydraulic pressure intensifiers. Combined with the fact that our pumps have minimal oil consumption compared to competitive products, this makes it the best pump available for the environment.

• Reduced power consumption
• Reduced water consumption

The Quantum NXT™ (electric servo pump) incorporates the core "direct servo" technology first used by NASA for the Space Shuttle programme by replacing obsolete hydraulic cylinders with new, highly compact, efficient, reliable and continuously controllable servo linear actuators.
