Laser Wizard is a precision cutting and fabrication company based in New South Wales, Australia. The business has built a strong reputation for laser cutting and waterjet cutting services across a range of industries.
To support continued growth and improve operational efficiency in high pressure waterjet cutting, Laser Wizard evaluated advanced pump technologies suitable for demanding production environments.
The Challenge
The previous intensifier pump used in the large format waterjet system delivered solid performance, but it involved higher energy consumption, increased noise levels, and maintenance intervals linked to hydraulic wear.
Laser Wizard required a waterjet pump solution that could reduce operating costs, lower noise, and provide stable pressure control to improve cutting consistency and overall profitability.
The Solution
Laser Wizard selected the Quantum® ESP 37/66 (GEN 4 Electric Servo Pump). This electric servo pump is designed for efficient high pressure water delivery using servo electric drive technology.
Key performance advantages include:
- Improved energy efficiency by delivering power only when cutting pressure is required
- Lower operating noise levels below 70 dB
- Precise pressure control for consistent material cutting quality
- Reduced maintenance requirements due to fewer wear components compared to intensifier pumps
Customer Feedback
Lawrence from Laser Wizard highlighted the operational impact of the Quantum pump:
“The main difference we see between the old intensifier pump and the new Quantum pump is the saving on the power bills. With the efficiency of the new pump, we are saving around $6000 a year which is having a strong impact on our bottom line. Another added benefit is the significant noise reduction.”
Operational Result
- Reduced energy costs due to higher pump efficiency
- Quieter workshop conditions, enhancing the working environment
- Stable pressure delivery supporting consistent cut quality and smooth edge finish across materials.
