WATER JET CUTTING APPLICATIONS

Our customers operate HP jet cutters in the stone industry in Indonesia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Japan, and  HP jet cutters that are used for cutting many different materials in Austria and Germany.

 

Cutter with two nozzles

The carriage of the x-axis is equipped with two z-axes, one is in cutting position, which can be controlled independently. The distance of the two nozzle valves can be set manually. A pneumatic conveyer is assembled on top of the carriage of the x-axis and feeds two vibration conveyers, one for each nozzle valve.

Automotive Parts

Cutting of carpets for passenger cars by two independently working robots. The robots are working overhead in a cabinet for safety reasons and to protect the surrounding against noise and moisture. The carpets are fed into the cabinet by a rotary table. Quick changing of the supports for the carpets makes the unit very flexible.

Combi Cutter

Flame cutter with a plasma unit and a water jet nozzle mounted to a second carrier. The abrasiv hopper and a vibration conveyer for abrasive metering are placed upon the carriage to use the short distances to the mixing head of the nozzle. In addition to the CNC controller an opto-electronical reading system is installed which can read drawings and convert them directly to the cutting head. Cutting area: x – axis 6000 mm, y – axis 3000 mm, z – axis 150 mm manually and 90 mm remote operated. The photo shows a precision cutting operation of a 30 mm thick plate of the CrNi steel in maraged condition. The steel plate is used in food machinery.
