Aqua Cutter 450A

Hydraulic articulated arm

The Aqua Cutter 450A ensures efficient rebar cleaning and descaling without causing microfractures, preserving structural integrity. Its hydraulic, articulated arm with rotating joints and telescopic extensions provides exceptional flexibility, allowing precise Hydrodemolition on horizontal, vertical, and overhead surfaces—even in confined spaces. The electric-powered design makes it an ideal solution for urban and zero-emission job sites. The detachable PCM enables remote operation, keeping the control unit in a safe location while the crawler navigates tight or hazardous spaces like tunnels and flooded sewer pipes. Fully compatible with the Aqua Rail System 3.0 and a wide range of attachments, the 450V also integrates with high-pressure pumps, including the Ecosilence, and connects to Aquajet’s Ecoclear system for on-site water filtration and recirculation, ensuring environmentally responsible operations.

Setups

  • Follow the surface

    The Aqua Cutter 450A is designed for efficiency in narrow and confined spaces like tunnels, culverts, and parking garages. Its hydraulic, articulated arm rotates to follow curved surfaces and extends up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) from the robot, enabling precise work on horizontal, vertical, and overhead surfaces. With zero emissions and low noise levels, it’s an ideal choice for urban hydrodemolition projects, delivering powerful performance in enclosed environments.

  • Disconnectable PCM

    With a disconnectable Power Control Module (PCM), both Aqua Cutter 450 models can reach areas inaccessible to electric-powered equipment. Separating the PCM from the tracked crawler allows them to operate independently via radio control. This keeps the PCM in a safe location while the fully submersible crawler navigates confined or hazardous spaces, such as narrow tunnels or flooded sewer pipes.

Features

  • Patented Infinity Oscillation

    The Infinity oscillation, a patented Aquajet innovation, improves concrete removal efficiency and creates a smoother surface. It allows the lance to move in a dual circular motion, rather than just a pendulum, maintaining a constant oscillation speed and eliminating pipe holes.

  • Hydraulic and articulated arm

    Hydraulic, articulated arm with two rotating joints and three telescopic extensions, makes it easy to follow curved surfaces and extends up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) from the robot.

  • Hydrodemolition positioning

    Hydrodemolition positioning – horizontal, overhead and vertical.

  • Disconnectable PCM

    Disconnectable Power Control Module (PCM) allows entry into areas where the electric PCM cannot. Fully submersible crawler, enabling operation under water.

  • EDS (Equal Distance System)

    All our Aqua Cutter robots feature our patented EDS system, short for Equal Distance System. The EDS keeps a preset dis­tance from the nozzle to the concrete surface. This is a major advantage. Standard systems without EDS make the water jet lose a lot of power before it hits the concrete.

  • Smart Lance Technology

    The patented Smart Lance software, standard on all Aqua Cutter robots, optimizes lance control by coordinating speeds between the power head and lance. It adjusts automatically during turns, ensuring consistent speed, reduced turning zones, and maximized surface coverage for greater accuracy and removal efficiency.

  • Smooth ride tracks

    Smooth ride tracks allow the machine to glide effortlessly over surfaces, ensuring precise nozzle distance and seamless transportation.

  • Precision drive

    This technology ensures precise hydraulic movements, eliminating inconsistencies. In automatic mode, the robot’s lance maintains the water jet in the ideal position for optimal hydrodemolition results.

  • Intelligent Sensing Control

    Intelligent Sensing Control (ISC) uses advanced software and closed-loop systems to track water jet movements and monitor the process based on the operator’s settings. This reduces downtime and eliminates the need for cables.

  • Easy service

    The Aqua Cutter 450’s innovative design ensures easy maintenance and minimal downtime. A foldable back cover on the Power Control module provides full access for daily tasks and service jobs. The Evolution 3.0 control system further simplifies maintenance with an extensive alarm list. The system also automatically tracks service schedules, notifying operators when maintenance is due, thus keeping downtime to a minimum.
