Waterjet and Beijing Winter Olympics

     In addition to the research on water jet cutting machine and spare parts, WINWIN Waterjet is also closely following international trends.

With the arrival of major international events in early 2022, there is an inseparable relationship with WINWIN. It is the Winter Olympics held every four years. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing from February 4 to February 20, 2022.

    ★The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will consist of 7 major events (skiing, skating, ice hockey, curling, snowmobile, sledding, biathlon) and 15 sub-events (alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, and ski jumping). , cross country skiing, Nordic biathlon, short track speed skating, speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey, curling, bobsleigh, bobsleigh, toboggan, biathlon) and 109 events. Among them, women's single snowmobile, snowboard slalom chase mixed team, freestyle skiing men's big jump, freestyle skiing women's big jump, freestyle skiing aerial skills mixed team, ski jumping mixed team, short track speed skating mixed team relay are 7 new items have been added.

In this Winter Olympics, the Chinese national team is showing their talents in the competition. The Chinese team won the gold medal in short track speed skating and mixed relay; in freestyle skiing and women's platform diving, the athlete Gu Ailing won the gold medal. She did her best and showed her abilities to the world.

    ★ Do you know how the skis under Gu Ailing's feet are produced? As the top snowboard for Olympic events, it needs to maintain two characteristics of strength and lightness. At present, the only material that can be selected in the world is acrylic foam. Its weight is one-thirtieth of that of water, and it is durable, elastic and can withstand temperature changes. In order not to waste materials, workers will cut them into strips strictly according to the width of the skis, and then use steel plates heated to 500 degrees. Welded together, the long strip of foam is then cut into wedges and sent to a precision lathe for grinding and trimming to within a typical tolerance of one-tenth of a millimeter.

     WINWIN waterjet, because it is a kind of cold cutting, cutting does not generate heat, so it is not easy to be deformed by heat. For winter sports - skiing, the cutting of the essential skis is also easy under the action of water jets. WINWIN water cutting production provides high-quality spare parts, which is more environmentally friendly than other cutting methods, and can process various high-hardness dismantling materials, with good cutting quality, smooth incision, no slag, no need for secondary processing, saving processing costs and time.
