HYDRAULIC VERSACUTTER WATERJET SYSTEM - 1

hydraulic versacutter Jet Edge’s Hydraulic Versacutter is a portable abrasivejet cutting system. Rigid or flexible tracks allow the Hydraulic Versacutter to operate on flat surfaces. The system is used in a variety of cutting applications including pipelines, steel reinforced concrete, reactor vessels and fabricated metal structures. It is especially suited for cutting in hazardous zones where flames and heat are restricted. The Versacutter carriage is a sealed unit that contains a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor is connected to a gear reducer and a drive sprocket. The sprocket engages the track to drive the carriage along the track. Guide wheels support the carriage by clamping it onto the track. A lever retracts the drive sprocket so the drive unit can be positioned freely on the track and extends the drive sprocket to engage the holes in the track. The carriage has several clamps and tubes to adjust the position of the cutting head. Abrasive Hopper Two 8’ sections of track; one rigid, one flexible, are available. Sprocket Driven Unit Additional track sections can be connected up to any desired length, limited only by the reach of the support equipment hoses. Track sections are bolted together for extended cuts. The rigid track is used on flat surfaces. The track is stiffened with two support rails. Mounting plates can be attached to the support rail allowing the track to be bolted to a surface. The flexible track is used on cylinders and undulating surfaces. On/off magnets on the flexible track, controlled by rotary knobs, attach to steel surfaces to help hold the track in position during setup. A winch and cable assembly tightens the track to secure it in position so track alignment does not shift while cutting is being performed. A pneumatic delivery system meters the abrasive from the hopper to the cutting head. The hopper holds up to 400 pounds of abrasive for uninterrupted cutting. Quick setup and maneuverability are achieved by mounting the hopper on pneumatic tires, and the weightsaving design enables operation in difficult overhead and vertical applications. Carriage Dimensions Height: 9-1/2 in (241 mm) Width: 9-1/32 in (230 mm) Length: 14-7/8 in (378 mm) Carriage Weight: 23 lb (10.4 kg) Track Weight: 32 lb (14.5 kg) per 96 in (2438 mm) track section Magnetic Standoff: 70–80 lb (32–36 kg) holding power Movement Speed: 0.8–16.5 ipm (20–440 mm/min) Hydraulic Supply Required: Pressure: 1500 psi (103 bar) Flow: 1–4 gpm (4.5–18.2 lpm) powered by jet edge! The Versacutter is powered by a Jet Edge waterjet intensifier pump. Model iP55-280DS

HYDRAULIC VERSACUTTER WATERJET SYSTEM - 2

hydraulic versacutter Operation Movement ForwardStopReverse The Hydraulic Versacutter is operated via a remote control unit. The remote control unit is designed to hang on the rear brace of the abrasive hopper. The remote control unit includes several valves to control the operation of the hydraulic cutting package: High Flow Hopper Speed Control Emergency Stop Switch Remote Control Unit FORWARD ON EMERGENCY STOP Abrasive On/Off • A three-position valve ports hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic motor to move the carriage forward, reverse, and stop movement. • Two flow control valves adjust the...

HYDRAULIC VERSACUTTER WATERJET SYSTEM - 3

hydraulic versacutter Hydraulic Versacutter Controls A three-position valve allows the operator to select the movement of the Hydraulic Versacutter. The valve stays in the set position. The middle position stops the Hydraulic Versacutter movement. A two-position valve is used to turn the ultra high pressure water on and off. Speed Control: Two flow control valves (one on the front, one on the back) are used to adjust the hydraulic flow that sets the forward and reverse speeds of the Hydraulic Versacutter. Abrasive Control: A two-position valve is used to control the compressed air supply...
