Tthe cost savings that are achieved every year by utilization of the waterjet cutting system in lieu of cutting by torch and then grinding down to specification. Waterjet is also used to avoid the possibility of a work stoppage when production waterjet cutting machines are down for repairs by allowing production shops access to the machine for increased depot capability.
4. The Maintenance Services Branch are trained on the operation of the OMAX waterjet machine. Operators have been trained to perform periodic maintenance and calibration specific to the OMAX Waterjet. Procuring a different brand requires the ITB to be trained on new operating, maintenance, and software procedures.
5. The materials used by the OMAX have been tested to perform well in our design applications. If a different company was chosen, the ITB would have to retest the accuracy and performance to incorporate different tolerances in our existing designs.
6. Continuing with the OMAX brand ensures integration and compatibility with existing software (Insight & Control Center) and interchangeability of some maintenance items.
7. Existing annual maintenance contracts can be executed for all machines at the same time under the same contractor resulting in cost savings in comparison to hiring separate contractors.
