How to maintain waterjet

With the popularity of the promotion, the use of water jet cutting machines are becoming increasingly widespread, so how to maintain water jet in daily use?

Step 1: waterjet cutting machine familiar with the flow of the nozzle. Open waterat at low pressure and observed. The water should be symmetrical, its width depends on the type of nozzle. Ruby and sapphire waterjet nozzle flow is slightly wider; diamond nozzle flow is narrower and more coherent. If the water flow began to widen, said nozzle is damaged, it should be replaced immediately. Damaged nozzle (or misaligned pipes) will cause internal damage to the cutting head.

Step 2: Periodically check the cutting head whether wear or damage (often due to accidental contact with components or fixtures caused). For example, the mixing tube accidentally contact with the fixture will cause damage to the nozzle nut and internal parts maintain the alignment of mixing tube.

Step 3: Check the system and keep it in top operating condition, so that the waterjet cutting operations more efficient, and extend the life of its components. Periodic inspection and replacement of sand delivery system consumable parts, such as pipes and fittings. Make sure the sand delivery system components under the bottom of the miniature hopper are not exposed to any air. When checking this, disconnect sand delivery pipeline from the mini hopper bottom of the joint, manually open the jet and the thumb attached to the end of the transfer line of sand. You will feel a sufficient (but not excess) vacuum exist, which may make the thumb tip dented. Insufficient vacuum may indicate the cutting head inlet is blocked, or sand delivery pipeline cracks, and must be addressed in order to give full play to the efficiency of the system.
