A CNC water jet cutting machine consists of three parts: high pressure water jet generator (high pressure pump), CNC machining platform, water jet cutting head.Water jet has a high cutting efficiency, in order to let everyone Learn more waterjets, this time we give you knowledge on a waterjet lesson.
What is the cutting radius and radius compensation
When we use the waterjet cutting machine processing workpiece, we not only have to learn about waterjet system operation, but also to understand what is the cutting radius and radius compensation. For example, we want to cut a circular workpiece φ100mm, the water beam diameter φ1mm, then waterjet cutting path in accordance with a diameter of φ101mm circular path cutting (cutting trajectory is the track of cutting water beam center through, CAD / CAM software to generate the G code shows the motion coordinates, are the cutting trajectory coordinates), instead of a circle φ100mm, if the trajectory is φ100mm, then diameter of the final cutting workpiece is only φ99mm, peripheral is one cutting radius smaller than required φ100mm (ie, cutting water beam radius).
To compensate for this less cutting radius, in CAD / CAM software in the trajectory needs to be based on size of the workpiece plus one cutting radius (if you are cutting a hole, you should subtract one cutting radius), so-called radius compensation, in order to eventually be able to process the required size consistent workpiece.
Waterjet has very wide range of applications, from metal materials to non-metallic materials, from natural materials to artificial materials, from food to household items, basically can be cut, with the "universal cutting machine" reputation.
