waterjet pump spare part for JET EDGE waterjet  

The waterjet cutting head is an essential component of a waterjet cutting system. Its main function is to focus the high-pressure water stream onto the material being cut, and to maintain a consistent distance from the material during the cutting process. The cutting head accomplishes this through a number of design features, including:

Orifice: The cutting head includes a small orifice through which the high-pressure water stream passes. The size of the orifice is carefully selected to achieve a specific flow rate and pressure, which are optimized for the particular material being cut.

Mixing Chamber: The waterjet cutting head also includes a mixing chamber where high-pressure water is mixed with abrasive material, such as garnet, to increase the cutting power of the water stream. The mixing chamber is carefully designed to ensure that the abrasive material is evenly distributed throughout the water stream, which maximizes its cutting power.

Nozzle: The waterjet cutting head includes a nozzle that shapes the high-pressure water stream into a focused beam. The nozzle is typically made from a hard, wear-resistant material, such as tungsten carbide, that can withstand the high-pressure water stream and the abrasive material.

Distance Control: The waterjet cutting head is designed to maintain a consistent distance from the material being cut, which is critical to achieving a clean, accurate cut. This is accomplished through a number of mechanisms, including sensors that detect the distance between the cutting head and the material, and feedback systems that adjust the cutting head position in real-time to maintain the desired distance.
