AQUALINE I - Pure Water Cuttinghead

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses the demanding nature of automotive applications, particularly in the context of waterjet components. It emphasizes the need for high reliability and speed in production units that operate continuously throughout the week.

Applications
Pure water cutting is highlighted for its higher cutting speeds compared to abrasive cutting, with applications in the automotive, aerospace, plastic, composite paneling, gaskets, foams, and food industries.

Product Features
The AQUALINE I pure water cutting head is noted for its reliability under extreme conditions, quick reaction times, and high component lifetimes. It is applicable in both 1D and multiple axis systems, including robotic 3D cutting boxes.

Technical Specifications
The cutting head features a high-performance nozzle valve with fast on/off cycle speeds. It is available with normally closed (N/C) and normally open (N/O) cutting valves, opening in less than 50 ms depending on pressure. The compact design (1.8 kg) allows for flexible use and easy integration into multihead and 3D applications.

Maintenance and Design
The design includes leak holes for easy maintenance, allowing seal replacement in under 5 minutes. The compactness supports multiple cutting nozzles and backup solutions.

Technical Data
Dimensions: Length 50 mm, Width 50 mm, Height 490 mm. Cutting speeds vary by material thickness and type, with specific cycle times at different pressures.

Ordering and Support
KMT offers an online portal for ordering spare parts and tracking orders, enhancing customer convenience.

AQUALINE I - Pure Water Cuttinghead-1

table.main {} tr.row {} td.cell {} div.block {} div.paragraph {} .font0 { font:37.00pt "Arial", sans-serif; } .font1 { font:8.00pt "Franklin Gothic Medium", sans-serif; } Automotive applications are among the most deman-ding of subcontracting jobs in the industry. Demands put on waterjet components are certainly not an exception, but a confirmation of this rule. Production units usually run 3 x 8-hour shifts throughout the complete week highlighting a need for extremely high reliability and speed. Any production stop is ͩquivalent to expensive delays and shut-downs of processes further down the production flow stream. Wide Range of Different Applications Pure water cutting applications usually work with signifi-cantly higher cutting speeds compared to those of abrasive cutting. The typical applications of this nature are found in the Automotive and Aerospace Industries, as well as miscel-laneous plastic and composite paneling. Gaskets, foams and food are also sizeable application areas for pure waterjets. Reliability under extreme conditions Our AQUALINE I pure water cutting head has gained an industry-wide reputation for being amongst the quickest and the most reliable pure water cutting heads under extreme working conditions, through fastest reaction times and high component lifetimes and quality Applicable in 1D to Multiple Axis Systems The AQUALINE I cutting head is widely used in robotic "3D-Cutting Boxes" as well as multidimensional cutting machines. High Performance Nozzle Valve The multiple cutting cycles found in these industries place huge requirements on the on/off cycle speed and reliability of the cutting valve. The KMT WATERJET AQUALINE I proviͭdes the industry's top quality leading solution in this area. Depending on the application, normally closed (N/C) and normally open (N/O) cutting valves are available. The nozzle valve opens in less than 50 ms depending on the operating pressure. Compact Design for Flexible Use The AQUALINE I head weighs only 1.8 kg (3.9 lbs) guaran-teeing high flexibility and making multihead and 3-D applications easy. It can be equipped with both sapphire and diaͭmond orifices, whatever fits the individual process needs best. Back-up Solutions The compact design allows it to be adapted to multiple cutting nozzles on a 1- or 2-D cutting machine to increase production throughput. The compactness also creates the possibility of installing a second set of cutting heads as a backup or redundant solution. In practice, oftentimes more than 12 cutting heads are hooked up to a single cutting system. Key Focus on Maintenance Friendliness Leak holes protect the nozzle body, nozzle tube and nozzle nut from damages and indicate clearly which connection has to be tightened or which seal has to be replaced. The unique design allows for replacing the seal in under 5 min. >>> fUMT
