Optimized Abrasive Consumption for Customized Waterjet Cutting Applications
Stable and repeatable operating parameters are a fundamental requirement for high-quality waterjet cutting. This applies in particular to abrasive applications used to cut brittle materials, where a constant flow of abrasive is simply a must. KMT WATERJET SYSTEMS responded to this demand by developing the FEEDLINE abrasive metering system. Controlled through a central CNC controller or a potentiometer, the FEEDLINE supplies the cutting head with the optimized flow of abrasive. This helps save material and costs.
The FEEDLINE system supplies the cutting head with a constant metered quantity of abrasive. Without this controlled supply, the mixing chamber for abrasive, air and water would become clogged up. With the FEEDLINE, this is effectively prevented
