The safe operation of water jet system

Users expect to know how to correctly and safely use common installation and disassembly waterjet spare part tools and safely operate waterjet cutting equipment. Before that, we should first do our homework on the performance characteristics and optional waterjet spare parts of the intensifier pump of the water jet, so as to achieve half the result with half the effort, so as to have a better understanding of the conventional safety.

1.The powerful water flow of the water jet cutting machine can penetrate almost all materials, so avoid contacting the water jet. The waterjet spare part nozzle can spray a mixture of water and abrasive. If you touch it with skin, it is likely to penetrate the skin and cause serious infection.

2. People who have not been specially trained are not allowed to operate the water jet cutting machine.

3. Wear safety glasses when operating or approaching the machine.

4. Clean and inspect the equipmenta and waterjet spare parts frequently and deal with all problems immediately. For example, the hydraulic oil of the high-pressure pump must be replaced in time after use (observe its quality, which can be evaluated by appearance and smell or accurately evaluated by the oil supplier) or after being polluted by water.

5.All operators and maintenance personnel of water jet cutting equipment and waterjet spare parts or operators near the equipment shall comply with the following safety precautions and applicable factory safety precautions.

6.Peration and maintenance must be carried out by personnel trained by the company and certified.

7.Operators shall always implement safety requirements to avoid possible personal injury and unnecessary equipment shutdown.

8.The operation responsibility of HP intensifier pump and waterjet spare parts must be clearly defined and observed to ensure that there is no confusion such as unclear responsibility in the safe area.

9.Ensure that all protective devices, shields or covers, etc. are properly placed on the relevant equipment at all times.

10.Ensure that the operation area around the equipment is clean and free of any sundries and oil spills.

11.Wear goggles and ear protectors when operating or working near the equipment.

12.The user can start the ultra-high pressure pump only when the intensifier pump is in good condition.

13.If there are any changes affecting the safety of the intensifier pump, the operator must report to the owner immediately.

Related problems of water jet cutting equipment

Generally, there will be no problems when using water jet cutting equipment and waterjet spare  parts, which leads to people not paying too much attention to some knowledge about water jet cutting equipment, which is not good for users. Although there will be no problem, it is generally a big problem when there is a problem with the water jet cutting equipment or waterjet spare  parts. Before there is a big problem, we must have a deeper understanding of the water jet cutting equipment.

1、How wide is the cutting gap of water jet cutting equipment? It depends on the material size and thickness of the cutting workpiece and the waterjet spare part nozzle used. Generally speaking, the incision of abrasive cutting is about 1.0mm ~ 1.2mm. With the wear of abrasive pipe and its diameter expanding, the cutting gap will become larger and larger.

2、What kind of material can water jet cutting equipment cut? High pressure water jet can cut all kinds of thick and hard materials: such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, steel, marble, alloy metal, glass, plastic, ceramics, ceramic tiles, leather，car interior and so on.

3、What kind of bevel will be produced by cutting with NC water jet cutter? The running speed of the equipment, that is, the cutting speed of the water jet, determines the quality of the bevel. The slower the cutting speed of the water jet, the smoother the cutting surface of the workpiece. The bevel on one side of most good cutting quality is about 0.1mm.

4、Which material is more suitable for water jet cutting equipment? Or do waterjet cutting equipment show greater advantages in cutting what materials? Generally speaking, materials with complex patterns, thick, difficult to cut, fragile and afraid of heat are more suitable for water jet cutting as processing equipment.

5、What precision can water jet cutting equipment achieve? The accuracy of cutting workpiece is between 0.1mm and 0.5mm. The accuracy of the workpiece depends on the accuracy of the machine, the size and thickness of the cutting workpiece.

In addition to low-cost cutting, water jet cutting is also considered to be the processing technology with the most diverse functions and the fastest technological growth in the world, that is, the universal waterjet spare part and cutting machine (according to the report of Frost & Sullivan and market intelligence research). Water jet cutting machines are widely used in high-yield applications all over the world. It complements other technologies (milling machine, laser, EDM, plasma and planer).

Water jet can be divided into pure water and abrasive cutting. Using pure water jet can cut all kinds of non-metallic materials: such as paper, cloth, diapers, glass fiber, food and all kinds of fluffy materials without wetting them; After adding abrasive, abrasive water jet can also cut all kinds of brittle and hard materials: such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, all kinds of marble, metal, all kinds of glass except tempered glass, plastic products, ceramic technology, composite materials and all kinds of hard materials by using waterjet spare part.
