US Army’s Legendary Blackhorse Regiment Expedites Work Requests with Jet Edge Precision Waterjet Cutting System

Jet Edge Inc. have announced the installation of a Jet Edge precision waterjet cutting system by the U.S. Army's 11^thArmored Calvary Regiment (ACR), at its home base in Fort Irwin, California. The 11^thACR, "the Blackhorse Regiment," is recognized for its tough and rigorous standards, and is widely considered the Best Opposing force in the globe.

该团在汤姆·克兰西（Tom Clancy）的小说《执行命令》中获得了荣誉。11^thACR helps the USA have the world’s best trained military force, by serving as the Opposing Force in simulated conflicts at the Army's National Training Center (NTC).

The Service & Recovery Section, a support section within the Regiment's Maintenance Troop, Regimental Support Squadron (RSS), operates the 11^thACR's Jet Edge Mid Rail Gantry waterjet system (Figure 1). The 20-soldier section is in charge of the welding and machining of fabricated components and provides recovery support to the Regiment. The 11^thACR的商店还配备了焊接机，车床，CNC铣削以及WaterJet系统。

该部门负责人的首席认股官Two Alphonso L. Ash，Jr。解释说，该团决定购买水夹系统以帮助加快其工作要求。昂贵且运输时间很长的组件可以使用水夹系统生产，以缩短延迟并增加操作准备。

A wide variety of metals, from aluminum to armored steel with a thickness from 1/8 inch to 3 inches, are cut using the waterjet system. Prior to this, a plasma torch, oxy-acetylene torches and shear were used by the soldiers to cut these metals manually.

CW2(P) Ash described the waterjet system as unique, because it allows components to be created using the computer-based software (SigmaNEST^®) and cut out after the component has been built (Figures 2 and 3). Immediate handling of the components following the cutting process without the risk of heat as in the case of plasma torch or OXY/Acetylene is another advantage.
