Why does water jet cutting need a laser height

measurement system?

Water jet cutting often incorporates a laser height measurement system for several reasons

Laser height measurement systems ensure precise control of the distance between the

water jet nozzle and the workpiece surface. This helps maintain consistent cutting quality, especially when

cutting materials with varying thicknesses or irregular surfaces.

The laser height measurement system can automatically adjust the water jet cutting head to

maintain the optimal focus point as the cutting progresses. This is crucial for achieving accurate cuts, particularly

in applications where the material surface may not be perfectly flat.

By continuously measuring the distance to the workpiece surface, the laser

system can compensate for any variations in height or irregularities, ensuring that the water jet remains at the

correct cutting distance for uniform cuts.

The height measurement system helps prevent collisions between the cutting head and

the workpiece by detecting any deviations in height. This protects the equipment from damage and ensures

uninterrupted cutting operations.
