Although every waterjet model is different, there are certain standard features that will be present in all waterjets in one form or another. Controller The controller is the “brains” of the waterjet: it turns the high-pressure water pump on and off, moves the nozzle head and controls the abrasive flow. Most modern waterjets use a […]
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 […]
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
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
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
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
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
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 […]
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
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
Generally, the tolerance is ±0.1mm. article from: http://waterjetapw.com waterjet http://waterjetapw.com
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, […]
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
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 […]
