The system’s adaptation to the internal diameter is possible.

The mini MACE is suited for, for example, the cutting and opening of pipe bombs, hand grenades or potentially hazardous objects such as unconventional explosive devices in the form of fire extinguishers and cases. mini MACE combines an abrasive mixing unit and a high-pressure pump in a single casing. The working pressure of the unit, which is driven by an internal combustion engine, is 6525 PSI (450 bar). The mini MACE was developed as a mobile penetration and cutting tool. An autarkic complete system equipped with internal combustion engine, abrasive mixing unit (AMU) and high pressure pump for accessing and deactivating IEDD (Improvised Explosive Device Disposal). It could be also used in the industrial sector for e.g. opening tanks.

Mobile water jet cutting unit particularly suited for Defusing large-caliber fund munitions EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) & IEDD (Improvised Explosive Device Disposal). Environmental exposure over the time has chemical and/or physical effects on ammunition & often leads to a critical in-situ situation of the UXO. Conventional Render Safe Procedure (RSP) is very often not feasible without contacting or shifting the UXO and therefore is considered as not secure. In such situations repeatedly it came to severe accidents with death tolls. Hence safety of transport to carry-off for final removal is also not given.Therefore in such cases blasting the UXO is so far used as a final RSP causing partly heavy collateral damages. This unit allows to remove or deactivate the fuse remotely, risk-free & safe by using the WAS Technology & specially designed manipulation systems. The deployment of this technology around the globe has become state of the art today and is an accepted RSP world-wide

Facing new manufacturing challenges? Want to be quicker and more precise than your competitors? Then you need ConSus. The ConSus system is an Abrasive Mixing Unit (AMU) in which abrasive is added continuously to the pressurized water flow with the worldwide patented lock method. High capacity and low pressure have been unachievable in water jet cutting until now. That’s exactly what the Water Abrasive Suspension (WAS) cutting method from ANT delivers. Tests prove: The ANT suspension jet cuts two to three times faster than conventional water jet cutting methods and at less than half the pressure. The reason for this is the composition of the water jet - a suspension made of water and an abrasive, which is pressurised without air before being squeezed out of the nozzle. The omission of air allows the jet to cut much more efficiently. ConSus combines all of these benefits in a single unit, which can be integrated into any existing water jet cutting system.

AMU - Abrasive Mixing Units higher 700 bar. The AMU series was standardised for various industrial application ranges. Amongst these are the decommissioning and maintenance of offshore structures and plant in the petrochemical and nuclear technology industries. Also special applications, in the wind power industry or for structural or civil engineering are not uncommon. The unit designation always refers to the maximum working pressure and the gross capacity of the pressure vessel. In combination with a conventional high-pressure pump, the various pressure levels and nozzle diameters can be individually adjusted to the task in hand. Our cutting devices and equipment help to control the cutting processes with our water jet cutting systems (AMU higher 700 bar) from a large distance.

The MACRO-SK is a grinding machine especially designed for machining the internal contours of stators, and it sets new standards in efficiency and precision for machining the internal diameter of stators. The machine concept of the Macro-SK enables the user to grind various types of stators on the machine, e.g. Gerotor and Geroller. The machine has two spindle arms when fully equipped. During grinding, these spindle arms are lowered in a vertical direction into a stack of stators that are clamped in a fixture. The vertical grinding direction proves to be a major advantage in this regard compared to other machine concepts, because the cooling lubricant is channeled specifically into the grinding gap, thus achieving larger grinding feed values. The grinding time, and thus the entire cycle time of the process are reduced by having higher grinding feed rates.
