What are the main costs of the water jet?

Water jet is a very prominent cutting equipment in the cutting industry. Whether in terms of technical characteristics or production capacity, water jet has more advantages than other cutting methods. Water jet cutting not only does not produce heat, but also does not produce harmful gas. It is a typical high-efficiency and multi-functional cold cutting processing method.

In this cold processing process, the supersonic water arrow produced by the water jet can achieve the ideal effect when cutting the material surface. The mixing of water and sand enhances its cutting ability. In addition, water jet cutting technology can effectively reduce costs and create greater profits.

The main cost consumption of water jet is mainly reflected in water, electricity, vulnerable parts of equipment, maintenance of equipment and artificial site. Abrasive is the consumption of abrasive water jet cutting, and pure water jet cutting is not required. The consumption of water in the use of water jet depends on the pressure and flow of the equipment, and the water charge depends on the local market price; The consumption of electricity depends on the power of the whole equipment during operation.

At present, the abrasives used by all waterjet are basically garnet sand or emery. The price will fluctuate according to the quality and cutting capacity of the abrasive; Consumables for vulnerable parts of the equipment depend on the long-term use pressure, the material type, thickness and processing requirements of cutting and processing, the starting time every day, the type, quantity and price of vulnerable parts of the equipment, etc.

Regular maintenance of water jet equipment also requires cost consumption, including replacement of parts of water jet control system, cutting platform, high-pressure generator and sand supply tank. In addition, the water jet also needs to be provided by labor and site before it can be used normally.

Because it is widely used and easy to operate, manufacturers realize that in fact, the cutting capacity of water jet is unlimited. Processing workshops of all sizes realize that the use of ultra-high pressure water knives brings higher efficiency and productivity. Water jet has become a machine tool equipment in many processing workshops. Because the sanding water knife technology was first invented by ferro in the 1980s, the technology has rapidly entered continuous research and development.

What makes water jet technology so popular? The water jet requires a few auxiliary operations. It can produce mesh parts without heating area, thermal deformation or mechanical deformation caused by other cutting methods. It can process narrow gaps and make better use of raw materials, because multiple parts can be tightly nested together. In fact, the water jet can cut any material and keep the incision smooth and flat. Together, these advantages have resulted in significant cost savings for each part in industry, which is traditionally defined by hourly cost.

Water jet cutting offers many advantages to various manufacturers. Key points include:

1.Unparalleled versatility

The water jet can be used for many purposes. No matter what shape, size or material, easy-to-use software can provide valuable multiple uses for your business.

2.Capacity expansion

No matter what business you are engaged in - automobile, aviation, stone and tile, tools and molds, manufacturing or processing workshop, you can cut up to 8 inches of metal, stone, plastic, composite, glass, ceramic or rubber without regional heating, and the edge quality is very good.

3.Improve the existing technology

The current trend is to add water knives to the equipment processing workshop as a supplement to other cutting technologies, such as EDM, laser, milling machine and plasma processing. While each workshop has its own requirements for cutting projects, most people find that the water knife is very helpful to improve its productivity and profit.

4.technology

When forced through small openings to raise water pressure to 60000 PSI, it cuts all kinds of soft materials, such as food, paper, baby diapers, rubber and foam. When a small amount of sand, such as pomegranate sand, is sandwiched into the water jet, "sanding water knife" can cut any hard material, such as steel, compound, stone and glass.
