Key Benefits of Waterjet Cutting |
Versatility - can cut anything Edge Quality (burr free) No heat affected zone No tool change required |
|
|
Upper cutting limit for steel without sacrificing time? |
2" to 3" Cutting thicker than 3" steel cutting time increases significantle |
|
|
What is the highest PSI a waterjet can achieve? |
94,000 PSI |
|
|
How much does garnet increase cutting power by? |
1,000 times |
|
|
Pure waterjet vs. Abrasive waterjet? |
Pure - for cutting softer materials - foam, plastic, rubber etc. Abrasive - harder materials - metal, ceramic, stone, steel |
|
|
What is a direct drive pump sometimes referred to as? |
Triplex |
|
|
Intensifier pump? |
Use hydraulic systems to create pressure Better for larger industrial applications |
|
|
Benefits of intensifier pump? |
- Operate at higher pressure - Can drive more than one system from a single pump reducing footprint and cutting cost of running two cutters - Longevity and time between maintenance - Can maintain steady constant pressure |
|
|
Why do intensifier pumps require less maintenance? |
-Since they use hydraulics, there is less wear and tear on the seals - seal replacement is less complicated |
|
|
How does a direct drive pump work? |
Crankshaft moves plungers in order to create pressure |
|
|
Pros and cons of direct drive? |
Pro: energy efficient, less money Cons: Seals wear faster, shorter time between maintenance leading to higher costs over life, can only power one cutter Lower cost, lighter duty |
|
|
What is dynamic waterjet? |
- improves cutting speed by 2 to 4 times - minimize steam lag and taper without slowing cut - Automatically angles head so taper goes to scrap side - Tilts head slight forward to make up for stream lag |
|
|
What is a pivot + head? |
60 degree of motion for bevel cutting Only available on Mach 100 |
|
|
What is the degree of wrist articulate on dynamic head? |
+/- 10 degree |
|
|
What is a dynamic XD head? |
Allows for 3d cutting Up to 89 degrees of motion |
|
