KMT WATERJET SYSTEM responded to this demand by developing the FEEDLINE V abrasive metering System. Controlted through a central CNC controlleror a potentiometer, the FEEDLINE V supplies the cuttlng head wlth the optlmlzed flow of abrasive. This helps save material and costs. The FEEDLINE V technology The FEEDUNE V system supplies the cutting head wrth 3conͭstant metered quantlty of abrasive. Without this controlled supply, the mtxing chamber (or abrash/e, air and water would become clogged up. With the FEEDUNE V, this is effectively prevented. It feeds a metered flow of abrasive by means ol compressed air into a 0.8-htre transfer tank. At the base of the tank, the abrasive collects on the metering and transfer wheel wtiose rotational speed dtermines the feed rate to the cutting head. New design of abrasive outlet and control unit The new abrasive outlet consists of a single component, fatilitating maintenance as there are no moving parts. A bypass opemng in the outlet component signtficantJy reduces the risk of cutting water entering the plastic hose through which the atxasrve is transferred to the cutting head, This prevents water entertng the FEEDLINE V housing, The metering u-heel of the FEEDUNE V Is equtpped wlth a shaft seal preventing water from entering the control unit, The housing lid of the metering wheel and the control unit are transparent, 50 that operators can easity detect any problems occurring in the unit. Lower costs thanks to accurate control Diffrent materials to be eut require diff驩rent quantities of abrasve. The thicker the matenal, the more abrasive Is needed. Accurate metering settings help lower operating costs espedally in units used to eut many diffrent materials on a daily basis. The adjustment range of the FEEDUNE V caters for flow rates of 0 to 1,000 g per minute. Greater quantities can be catered for by changing a shim. Suitable for integrated or stand-alone control Standard feed rates can be stored in the CNC controller and transferred to the FEEDUNE V Alternative^ the FEEDUNE V opration car be contrdted by means of a potentiometer Each cutting head is thereby stpplied by a separate FEEDUNE V Llghtwelght and compact design for easy Installation The FEEDLINE V module weighs only 3.1 kg and can thus be mounted directly onto the motion system of the waterjet cutting unrt. The abrasrve hose Connecting the metering unit to the cutting head is therefore kept very short, which is an advantage. as long hose length resuit in poor cuts. »> ICMT
