What are the main components of Water Jet Cutting Machine?

2024-01-31

Water Jet Cutting Machine is a machine that uses high-pressure water jets or water jets mixed with abrasives to precisely cut materials. Waterjet cutting technology is widely used in various industries, including metal cutting, stone cutting, rubber cutting, etc. The main components of a waterjet cutting machine include the following:

 

 

1. High-Pressure Pump: The high-pressure pump is one of the core components of the waterjet cutting machine. It is responsible for pressurizing the water to extremely high pressures, typically above 60,000 psi (pounds per square inch), to ensure that the water flow has enough power for effective cutting.

 

2. Cutting Head: The cutting head is a component that focuses high-pressure water flow or a water jet of mixed abrasives onto the workpiece. It usually includes a nozzle, focusing tube and nozzle adjustment system. The design of the cutting head directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of cutting.

 

3. CNC System: Water jet cutting machines usually use CNC systems to control the water jet to perform precise cutting on the workpiece surface through pre-designed cutting paths and programs. The CNC system can automatically cut according to the requirements of the design drawings to improve production efficiency.

 

4. Water Tank System: Used to store and circulate water. During the waterjet cutting process, water is absorbed, purified and supplied to the high-pressure pump again, forming a circulation system. This helps conserve water and maintain the continuity of waterjet cutting.

 

5. Bed and Support System: Cutting work is usually performed on a stable bed. The bed and support system are used to support and clamp the workpiece to ensure that it does not move during the cutting process.

 

6. Motion System: The motion system of the water jet cutting machine is responsible for controlling the movement of the cutting head in the horizontal and vertical directions. This usually includes guide rails, slides, servo motors and corresponding motion control systems.

 

7. Abrasive Hopper: For waterjet cutting machines that use mixed abrasives, the Abrasive Hopper is used to store and supply abrasives to increase cutting speed and efficiency.

 

8. Control Console and Operator Panel: Control console and operator panel used to operate and monitor the waterjet cutting machine. Operators can set cutting parameters, adjust cutting paths, etc. through these interfaces.

 

The components listed above are the main components of a waterjet cutting machine. They work together to ensure that the waterjet cutting machine can complete the cutting task efficiently and accurately. Water jet cutting machines are very useful and are often used to cut metal, stone, ceramics, composite materials, etc. It has the advantages of high precision, fast speed and no thermal deformation, and is widely used in manufacturing, aerospace, handicraft processing and other fields.
