Application of ultra high pressure cutting technology

Ultra-high pressure waterjet cutting technology is presented first by the Soviets in the hands of the Americans to be relatively perfect a jet technology. Abroad from the late 1970s, waterjet cutting technology applications, after all these years of continuous research and improvement, application, has been developed to a high level of application.

In terms of pure waterjet cutting, waterjet cutting technology with robot technology is widely used in automotive, aerospace, clothing, rubber, ballistic material and other industries. Such as water jet and automatic robot arm combination to complete the three-dimensional of cutting. This automated system can be used in automotive interior parts and aerospace components and other cutting. Difficult to process composite materials using traditional processing methods, waterjet cutting is at ease, such as the arsenal want to processing Kevlar material imported from Holland which is used for tanks, armored vehicles, bulletproof vests, bulletproof car bulletproof layer, within the overall context of the soldiers can not solve the problem cropped materials, waterjet cutting quickly resolved.

In the field of abrasive waterjet, machining abrasive cutting, the application is more extensive, have been involved in the stone, glass, metal, composites, building ceramics, bulletproof glass, and other industries. Such as iron ore used the ore conveying pipes, because the tube is coated with a layer of composite ceramic to enhance wear resistance, but the tube and therefore becomes difficult to process, by machining is not tool hardness not enough, it is the result of too much vibration and damage machining plating ceramic layer, to solve this problem of waterjet is the best choice for cutting tools.

1996 Domestic waterjet officially on the market immediately attention by all sectors of society, and quickly widely used in building ceramics and stone industry. Used in deep processing of construction ceramics and stone, get great economic benefits. It has developed into a mature processing means.

Compared with traditional cutting methods, waterjet cutting mainly has 7 advantages:

1, Cold cutting means - to avoid the effects of thermal distortion, material hardening and the stress of the material.

2, Without or a small, simple clamping device can be OK.

3, Without material limitation, it can cut almost any material (toughened glass, tungsten carbide).

4, The complicated pattern, thick, difficult to cut, fragile and sensitive to heat the materials, most suitable for waterjet cutting.

5, With a narrow kerf, cut smooth, no burrs, no need secondary processing cutting surface, save material, reduce costs (titanium alloy).

6, For precise contour cutting.

7, No sparks flying etc. when cutting. And there is no dust and harmful gas pollution environment during the cutting process, so high pressure water jet cutting technology also has environmental protection significance.
