FAQ of waterjet cutting machine & water jet part:
What is the attenuator in a waterjet?
In a waterjet machine, a waterjet attenuator is a device used to smooth the pulsation or pressure fluctuations of high-pressure water produced by a water pump. High-pressure water is used to power a waterjet cutting head, which cuts material by directing a concentrated stream of water at high speeds onto a workpiece.
The pump in the waterjet cutting machine produces pulsating water flow due to the reciprocating motion of the pump piston. These pressure pulsations cause fluctuations in the water pressure supplied to the cutting head, affecting the quality and precision of the cutting process.
The waterjet attenuator is usually installed in the high pressure water line between the pump and the cutting head.
The waterjet attenuator helps maintain a constant, steady flow of high-pressure water to the cutting head, improving the quality and precision of the cutting process. It can also help reduce wear and tear on water pumps and other parts of waterjet machines by reducing the stress caused by pressure pulsations.
