What are High Rail Motion Systems?

High Rail Waterjet System - Jet Edge Waterjets

Waterjet cutting systems utilize a cutting head mounted to a Cross Beam Gantry. The height of the cross beam the cutting head is mounted to classifies them as Mid Rail or High Rail systems. While mid rail motion systems have evolved into the industry standard and are now more common in facilities where water jet cutting is done, high rail cutting technology led the way into industrial production.

High Rail motion systems utilize taller legs and raise the Cross Beam Gantry up higher than a Mid Rail system and out of the cutting zone. This increases the size of the work envelope available for your production material and allows easier access to the cutting table.

Additional productivity advantages are inherent with this layout including the ease of incorporating different types of material handling systems, cutting materials that are larger than the tables work surface, better protection of the drive systems from the table surface while delivering much higher accuracy.
