HIGH PRECISION HIGH PRESSURE WATERJET The cutting system is a high pressure water jet up to 4150 Bar/ 60 000 PSI (optional : 6000 Bar / 87 000 PSI ) generated by an intensifying pump. This high pressure water is concentrated into a fine but very powerful water jet after going through an orifice. In a mixing chamber just after the orifice, abrasives are added to the jet which reach a speed of 900 m/s almost MACH 2. It then goes in a focalization tube to be projected onto the work-piece. The result is an abrasive jet of less than one millimeter diameter capable of cutting the hardest materials. WORKING TABLE OF LARGE DIMENSION A large working table enabling to cut the pieces of dimension 3300 x 1700 mm (130 x 67’’). Thanks to the mobile machine arm, access to the table is eased. The operation can lay the slabs from all the table sides. The working table is composed of galvanized vertical blades (S shape), stainless steel frame and grates on tank bottom for recovering of waste material which might have fallen. Water level variation by Ballast system (quick and ecological). By raising slightly the water level above the slab one can cut with the same efficiency yet reducing drastically the sound level. AUTOMATIC SYSTEM CONTROLLED BY NC The NC controls the head movement following the program written into the NC or on PC. The T’CUT software is identical to the software of the THIBAUT NC sawing machines. Work-pieces are positioned on the working table. The table is in a stainless steel tank full of water.
