Q: What cause the white light blink 3 time? A: The PLC get the signal from the sensor what the water pressure is too low. There are two reasons which may cause this. 1. The water pressure is low. 2. The sensor send the wrong signal. For the first one, we just need to make […]

How much abrasive is used?
For the most efficient waterjet cutting, waterjet cutting heads on a 55,000 psi intensifier use: 0.010/0.030 0.9 lb/min 0.014/0.040 1.4 lb/min 0.018/0.050 2.5 lb/min article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com

How long does the mixing tube last?
The highest quality ceramic carbide mixing tubes last 30% longer than other mixing tubes. A tube such as this can deliver 150 hours of cutting time for 0.020″ in diameter. Many users keep the mixing tubes longer and use them to cut parts which require looser tolerances. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
What is the minimum water level depths?
In most waterjet systems 36 inches of water in the catchers dissipates the energy of the waterjet. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
How much water will you use when cutting at 55,000 psi?
Each 0.010″ orifice uses 0.5 gpm. Each 0.013″ orifice uses 0.82 gpm Each 0.016″ orifice uses 1.24 gpm article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
At what pressure do you cut?
Waterjets cuts at 90,000psi. It is also the maximum intensifier pump pressure. Although higher pressures can result in higher maintenance cost on intensifier pumps especially on the seals, the result is higher cutting speed and efficiency. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
How fast can a waterjet cut and how does it hold accuracy?
Speed and accuracy depend on material texture, material thickness, and the cut quality desired. In case of rubber and gasket cutting, there are waterjet machines whose motion capabilities would allow traversing at 0.1 to 3000 linear inches per minute. We could offers the approximate cutting speeds for a wide variety of materials. We will also be […]
How does the material fixture work?
There are many methods of fixturing the material down. The simplest is to place a plate of material on the machine, and anchor it with weight. More advanced fixturing can be employed if needed for specialty applications or secondary machining. Article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
How long should I be trained if I do not have any experience?
An operator who does not have experience should be able to learn how to operate and maintain a waterjet cutting machine as long as one week at least. CAD/CAM nesting software training only needs few hours even you do not have any experience. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
How much can the tolerances be holden if I use precision waterjets?
Generally, the tolerance is ±0.1mm. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com

How much is the max thickness if I want to cut steel?
There are two limits about max thickness. One is practical limit, the other one is physical limit. The practical limit means for most materials, the condition is about 100mm thick. If the metal thicker than that thickness, the tolerances will be dropped and the machining time will be increased. For some projects, like cutting titanium, […]

How much does the working cost if I want to run a waterjet?
On average, it costs $10 per hour. Additional necessary expenses includes consumable parts, garnet, water, electricity and labor. Labor cost is base on the location. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
What is the difference between water-only water jet and abrasive water jet?
Commonly, “Water jet”can be used as both “water-only” water jet and “abrasive” water jet cutting. Water-only water jets cut with ultra-high pressure water alone. Abrasive water jets cut with an abrasive material (usually garnet) which added to the water stream. Water-only water jets are used to cut through softer materials such as rubber and foam. Abrasive […]
