Waterjet cutting improved speed and productivity
KMT ultra-high-pressure pump upgrades waterjet cutting system to improve speed and productivity.
This eliminates any chance of blockages, having a maximum flow rate of 1000g/min (standard particle size 80 mesh abrasive).
For ease of use, different flow rates to suit varying applications can be either stored in the material database of the control system or electronically adjusted using the FEEDLINE III potentiometer.
The AUTOLINE Abrasive Cutting Head, which forms an essential part of the AMS system, has been chosen as the number one in the waterjet industry by a world renowned group of experts.
They found it to cut faster and more consistently with greater cost savings than all other units under test.
AUTOLINE's consistently sharp jet of water and abrasive gives a high degree of repeatability in addition to a remarkable cutting speed.
Setting a new benchmark for precision and productivity, AUTOLINE also reduces downtime and cost thanks to the mixing chamber and focusing tube being replaceable individually.
The complete Active AUTOLINE cutting head and pneumatic valve weigh in at only 2.3kg (5.0lb), offering flexibility to the end user, particularly when used with multi-head and 3D cutting machines.
The final part of the AMS system is the ABRALINE III Abrasive Transfer System that monitors availability and guarantees sufficient quantities of sand throughout the entire cutting process, protecting the user from potentially high unnecessary costs.
Especially suited to machines running on a multi-shift basis, ABRALINE III can be installed to supply multiple machines in demanding cutting environments.
