Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Tips

Waterjet cutting machine summed up the abrasive waterjet cutting techniques in the process of long time use.

1, Smaller abrasive particles (120 mesh abrasive or smaller) of the cutting speed is slower, but surface is smoother (compared with the 60 mesh and 80 mesh abrasive);

2, If you need to regularly punch a hole for composites, glass and stone, ensure that the system can use the controller to reduce or increase the water pressure. At the same time to check the vacuum assist device or other technologies to enhance these brittle material or laminated material perforation chance of success;

3, Compared with the general porous flow controller, specially designed for process control systems are generally more efficient and easier to use;

4, Typically inject the tap water into waterjet system, before the water is injected into the booster, usually we will filter out impurities in the water through the water filtration system, 90% of waterjet and abrasive waterjet users only require soften the water. Water filters will greatly extend the life of the water outlet, but also improve the life of the turbocharger wearing parts;

5, Underwater cutting will reduce the possibility of abrasive waterjet cutting top surface frost or "fogging". Underwater cutting also greatly reduces jet noise and confusion in the workplace. The only defect is the operator during the cutting process is not clear to see the jet, we can consider electronic performance monitoring devices. The monitoring device is able to detect deviations from optimum cutting performance, and can shut down the system before the component is damaged.
