�Operating principal :

� Depends upon nozzle orifice diameter, water

pressure and cutting feed rate.

� Stand distance affect the performance.

� Mechanism is performed by:

�

� Conditions:-

1. pump along with intensifier to generate very highpressure.

2. cutting unit consisting nozzle and workable unit.

N OZZLES:-

WATER JET



WATER JET Here are some of the benefits to using a water jet:

� Cheaper than other processes.� Cut virtually any material:

1. pre hardened steel

2. mild steel

3. Copper, Brass, Aluminum: They are a cinch!

4. brittle materials like glass, ceramic, quartz, stone.

� Cut thin stuff, or thick stuff

� Make all sorts of shapes with only one tool.

� Cut wide range of thickness¶ to reasonable tolerance up to 2´ (50mm)thick

� Up to 5´ (127mm) or thicker where tolerance not important, or in soft

materials.

� No Heat Generated / No heat affected zones - this is cold cutting!



WATER JET:



WATER JET CO N CLUSIO N :-

�From above discussion we have concluded that ³Water jet Machining´

is:

�Cheaper than other process.

�Cut virtually any shape &material

�Make all sorts of shapes with only one tool.

�Cut wide range of thickness¶ to reasonable tolerance up to 2´ thick

�No mechanical stresses

�Fast turn around on the machine.

�Leaves a satin smooth finish, thus reducing secondary operations

�Clean cutting process without gasses or oils
