Aquajet introduced a new support system designed to enhance the capabilities and flexibility of hydrodemolition robots in challenging environments.
The system centers around the upgraded Aqua Spine 3.0, an extendable rail system that attaches easily to any surface, providing a stable platform for the power head to move along during operation. The Ergo Climbers have also been upgraded to version 3.0, with new features that ensure seamless compatibility with the new system.
To better support the Aqua Spine and Ergo Climbers, Aquajet created a customizable support system, providing more flexibility and adjustable setups for different projects. This whole system is ideal for a variety of hydrodemolition work and is compatible with both the Aqua Cutter 750V Hydrodemolition robot and Ergo system. Recognizing that not all projects involve straightforward flatwork, this solution equips contractors with a highly adaptable, ready-to-use setup capable of tackling complex applications, such as refractory work.
New passable mounts/brackets, support legs, adapter plates and feet make up the Aqua Spine, providing users the option to build longer setups when needed, rather than having to repeatedly move a shorter setup along the removal area. Passable mounts allow the power head to seamlessly move from section to section without the need to stop and reposition. The upgraded version is also lighter than the previous Spine and can handle 60% more load and 50% more torque, according to the manufacturer.
“With this new support system, contractors can easily adjust the support legs to exact heights or angles, ensuring stability and optimal positioning for their hydrodemolition project, regardless of the surface or environment,” said Roger Simonsson, managing director of Aquajet. “The true value, however, lies in its reusability and scalability. If a future project requires different specifications, the system can be reconfigured or expanded with additional components. This flexibility reduces the need for entirely new setups, saving both time and resources, while keeping contractors prepared for any challenge that comes their way.”
Featuring only nine parts, the new support system uses interchangeable CC80 hole pattern and M16 screws, enabling quick reconfiguration from one project to the next. What truly sets this support system apart is its modularity. Contractors can select from light and heavy versions to meet specific job needs. The light series is a lighter-weight, flexible system ideal for the Ergo, while the heavy series is more stable and robust to handle a more powerful machine, like the Aqua Cutter 750V’s power head.
