What Is Cantilever Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Machine?

"Cantilever sand Water Jet cutting" refers to a high-pressure water jet cutting technology that uses a cantilever mechanical structure and combines abrasives. This equipment combines the kinetic energy of high-pressure water jets and the grinding effect of abrasives, and can efficiently cut a variety of hard materials (such as metals, stones, composite materials, etc.).

1. Basic principles
60000 Psi Water Pressure: water is pressurized by an ultra-high pressure pump (usually the pressure can reach 300-600 MPa) to form a high-speed jet.

Abrasive addition: abrasives (such as pomegranate sand, aluminum oxide, etc.) are mixed in the high-pressure water flow to form a water-sand mixed jet to enhance cutting ability.
Cantilever structure: The equipment adopts a cantilever mechanical design, and the cantilever can move flexibly, which is suitable for cutting large-sized workpieces or complex shapes.

2. Equipment composition Abrasive Waterjet
Cantilever system: provides lateral and longitudinal freedom of movement, usually controlled by a numerical control system (CNC) to achieve high-precision cutting paths.
High-pressure pump: core component, providing ultra-high pressure power for water jets.
Abrasive supply system: store and precisely control the mixing ratio of abrasives.
Cutting head: integrated nozzle (gem nozzle or diamond nozzle), adjust the water-sand mixed jet.
Control system: control cutting path, speed and pressure through programming or software.

3. Technical advantages 90 000 Psi Water Jet
Wide applicability: can cut metal (steel, titanium alloy), stone, glass, ceramic, composite materials, etc.
Cold cutting: no heat affected zone (HAZ), avoiding material deformation or performance change.
High precision: CNC system supports complex contour cutting with a tolerance of up to ±0.1mm.
Environmental protection and energy saving: no harmful gas or dust (water circulation system is required).
Flexibility: cantilever structure is suitable for large workpieces or small space operations.

4. Application areas Waterjet Cutting Services
Industrial manufacturing: aerospace parts, automotive accessories, mechanical processing.
Architectural decoration: stone carving, glass art cutting.
Energy industry: pipeline cutting, wind turbine blade trimming.
Composite material processing: carbon fiber, Kevlar and other difficult-to-cut materials.

5. Precautions Abrasive Garnet For Waterjet Cutting
Safety: High-pressure water jets are extremely dangerous and require strict operating specifications and protective devices.
Maintenance cost: Nozzles, high-pressure 1-11024-High-Pressure-Waterjet-Parts-In-Stock-For-Sale-p.html target='_blank'>Seals and other vulnerable parts need to be replaced regularly.
Abrasive selection: Choose appropriate abrasives according to the hardness of the material (such as pomegranate sand for metals and aluminum oxide for stone).
Wastewater treatment: The wastewater after cutting needs to be filtered and the abrasive needs to be recycled to avoid environmental pollution.

6. Special advantages of cantilever structure Waterjet Services
Wide coverage: The cantilever can extend beyond the workbench, which is suitable for cutting extra-long or special-shaped workpieces.
Space saving: Compared with the gantry structure, the cantilever design is more compact and suitable for scenes with limited workshop space.
Fast dynamic response: The lightweight cantilever structure can increase the cutting speed and reduce the idle time.
