Three members of the OMAX® research and development team, Michael Lo, Kevin Hay, and Dr. Axel Henning, won Best Paper at the Water Jet 2019 conference in the Czech Republic. The paper, titled “Particle Velocity in Abrasive Waterjets,” examines abrasive speed data to help improve understanding of particle acceleration behavior in abrasive waterjet (AWJ) nozzles.
This year was the sixth occurrence of the biannual Czech Water Jet conference. The conference is geared toward producers, users, designers, and other publics interested in the technology of high-speed water jet. It is a forum for the exchange of knowledge, information, and experiences in areas of research, development, and application of the water jets.
“It was an honor to represent the OMAX Corporation at Water Jet 2019 and a lot of fun to meet experts in the field that come from universities and companies in different countries,” said Michael Lo. The paper was selected from 37 submitted articles by the international technical committee.
OMAX has a long history of supporting research and development. From motion control systems to precision cutting, the OMAX researchers have discovered much of what has made OMAX the technological leader throughout the waterjet industry. Just as when OMAX introduced its revolutionary cutting model, which provided improvements on cutting speed and precision to all users of their machines, OMAX strives to improve on components and procedures to make help customers excel in an increasingly competitive market.
