Knowledge of waterjet cutting machine and Waterjet Cutting Head Part:

Q1, How much pressure does a waterjet pump need to cut 15mm of metal? Is 20000psi ok?
A1. We also adjusted the position of the Y-axis when leaving the factory, and the customer is not allowed to change it by himself, otherwise the The pressure of water jet cutting metal depends on the thickness and type of metal. Generally speaking, the pressure of water jet cutting metal is between 20,000 psi and 60,000 psi. A water jet pump with 20,000 psi may be able to cut 15mm of metal, but the cutting speed and quality are not ideal. If you want to improve cutting efficiency and precision, it is recommended to use a higher pressure water jet pump, and add abrasives to enhance the cutting ability of the water jet.

Q2: What is the function of the water jet cutting head?
A2: The function of the water jet cutting head is to convert high-pressure water into high-speed water jet, and abrasives can be added to enhance the cutting ability of the water jet. The main components of the water jet cutting head are as follows:

• Waterjet Cutting Head Part Inlet pipe to stabilize the high pressure water flow into the cutting head, preventing fluctuations and turbulence of the water flow.

• A nozzle or Waterjet Cutting Head Part orifice, used to create a high-velocity jet of water, usually made of diamond, ruby, or sapphire, the diameter of the orifice is smaller than the tip of a needle.

•Waterjet Cutting Head Part Mixing chamber and abrasive inlet for adding abrasive (usually garnet, carborundum, etc.) into the water jet, accelerating the abrasive to a high velocity through energy transfer.

• Mixer or focus tubes for focusing the water jet and abrasive to create a stream of fine particles that can cut a wide variety of materials and shapes.

The parameters and status of the water jet cutting head have a great influence on the effect of water jet cutting, so it is necessary to check and clean the water jet cutting head regularly to keep it in good working condition.
