Water Abrasive Cutting Systems
ANT Water Abrasive Suspension (WAS) cutting systems for cutting in air and underwater allow cutting into ordnance, dangerous tanks or vessels, cutting in explosives atmospheres. ANT's WAS system provides:
- Cuts that are free of dust and gas
- Cuts of less than 1 mm width
- Remotely operability
- Easily transportable systems
- Deep-water (underwater) cutting capability
- Several Mobile Abrasive Cutting Equipment "MACE" systems

MACE was the original system developed for cutting into unexploded ordnance (UXO). The cold-cuts delivered by MACE's high-pressure water abrasive system assured the safet of operators while rendering the UXO safe for removal and transport. |

In the mini MACE design engineers made the system much more compact by integrating the compression system and control unit into one platform including a gasoline-powered engine. |
|
|
The midi MACE is a battery-powered system that's yet more compact than the mini MACE. Everything is integrated into one housing except the remote cutting nozzle. |
|
|
The micro MACE is another battery-powered system that's yet more compact than the midi MACE. Everything is integrated into one housing and the cutting nozzle is attached with an adjustable arm. |
Accessories are available, such as cutting tables, to allow precise geometric cuts in all kinds of solid materials. All of the MACE, mini-MACE and midi-MACE systems can be operated via remote control and can be deployed by EOD robots.
