Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from OMAX. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The OMAX MAXIEM 1530 is listed as an abrasive waterjet with a 1,524 x 3,048 mm (60 x 120 in) cutting area, an EnduroMAX direct-drive pump and a maximum pressure of 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar). The model is absent from OMAX's current lineup, so the listed figures are offered as a reference for used machines and need confirming case by case.

Pump power is the row to read carefully. It lists 30 HP as standard, with 40/50 HP optional. A machine built with the standard pump and one built with an optional pump share a name and a table but cut at different rates, and nothing else in the listed figures tells them apart.

Maximum traverse speed is listed at 12,700 mm/min (500 in/min). Cutting accuracy is given as ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in), and linear positional accuracy as ±0.076 mm/m, a per-metre figure, which means error can accumulate along the 3,048 mm axis. For long parts with tight overall dimensions that is worth testing with a measured cut.

The materials row covers metals, stone, glass, ceramics, composites, rubber and foam. Software is Intelli-MAX, listed with CAD, CAM and nesting. The power requirement is 480V, 3-phase, 60A, and machine weight is listed as ~4,082 kg (9,000 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed 1,524 x 3,048 mm (60 x 120 in) cutting area
EnduroMAX direct-drive pump at a listed 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar)
Maximum traverse speed of 12,700 mm/min (500 in/min)
Intelli-MAX software listed with CAD, CAM and nesting

Limitations

30 HP is the standard pump; 40/50 HP is optional and cannot be assumed on a given machine
Linear positional accuracy is listed per metre, ±0.076 mm/m, so long parts can accumulate error
Requires a 480V, 3-phase, 60A supply

Best For

Sheet and plate within 1,524 x 3,048 mm (60 x 120 in) Mixed materials: metals, stone, glass, ceramics, composites, rubber and foam are listed Parts that suit a listed cutting accuracy of ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which pump does the MAXIEM 1530 come with?

The listed pump is an EnduroMAX direct-drive unit, 30 HP standard with 40/50 HP optional, at a maximum pressure of 60,000 PSI (4,137 bar). Read the pump's rating plate on any machine you consider, since the options change cutting rate and the model name does not show which was fitted.

02 How accurate is the MAXIEM 1530?

Cutting accuracy is listed at ±0.076 mm (±0.003 in). Linear positional accuracy is listed as ±0.076 mm/m, a figure per metre of travel. On the 3,048 mm axis that distinction matters for long parts, so a test cut measured end to end is the sound way to check a used machine.

03 What power supply does the MAXIEM 1530 need?

The listed power requirement is 480V, 3-phase, 60A. The machine weight is listed as ~4,082 kg (9,000 lb), which is the starting point for a floor check; the table does not say whether that includes water in the tank.

04 What materials is the MAXIEM 1530 listed for?

Metals, stone, glass, ceramics, composites, rubber and foam. The maximum traverse speed of 12,700 mm/min (500 in/min) is a positioning speed, and cutting speed in each of those materials will be far lower and depends on thickness and pump.
