OMAX Corporation, makers of high-precision OMAX JetMachining® Centers and high-performance MAXIEM JetCutting® Centers, celebrates 20 years of continuous innovation in abrasive waterjet technology with a special event Aug. 20 on its Kent campus, 21409 72nd Ave. S.
The event features the latest advancements in waterjet machining as well as technical sessions, live cutting demonstrations and tours of the company’s recently expanded manufacturing factory.
Dr. John Cheung and Dr. John Olsen founded OMAX in 1993, having discovered a way to revolutionize the waterjet machining process. A new type of motion control technology and proprietary software allowed for the development of an affordable waterjet system to offer fast, precise and consistent results. Today, OMAX Corporation provides diverse, highly advanced product solutions that offer the broadest range of table sizes, pumps, accessories and software on the market.
During the anniversary event, OMAX will introduce enhanced capabilities of the company’s Intelli-MAX® Software Suite. In the past year alone, the company has made strides in improving 3D part-processing operations via its intuitive Intelli-MAX Software. The company continually updates this software to further benefit its customers, offering free upgrades for as long as they own their OMAX machines.
OMAX also has developed new accessories such as the Intelli-VISOR® System Monitoring Package that increases the efficiency and uptime of its JetMachining Centers by overseeing the status and performance of the machines through the entire cutting process.
Expansion
Last fall, OMAX completed the largest expansion of its Kent-based manufacturing campus to date. It is here the company designs, builds and supports its OMAX and MAXIEM product lines. The new 22,000-square-foot building added to the campus extends the company’s training, research and development, and engineering efforts. The campus encompasses 130,000 square feet of space spread across three buildings.
“Over the past two decades, OMAX has brought together the leading innovators and experts in abrasive waterjet technology to meet the diverse and changing needs of manufacturers across all industry segments,” Cheung said. “And while the past 20 years have been an amazing journey, we look forward to continuing our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible technology, service and support for growing their businesses.”
