Cutting of workpiece by abrasion from a high-pressure water jet mixed with abrasive agents. Beskrivning The process Water under high pressure [1] of up to 4000 bar is focused through a nozzle [2]. Abrasive agents [3] are then supplied through the vacuum formed in the mixing chamber [4]. High pressure water jet charged with the abrasive agent then cut through the workpiece. The cutting head is positioned by means of a gantry system. Water mixed with debris is collected and filtered to partially reuse the abrasive agent. Gantry system A control commonly used for positioning a tool within the Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) Read more Abrasive water-jet cutting 2D Process photos Process films Product examples English translation unavailable for .
