In essence, water jet cutting machine is divided into two types of water jet: (1) pure water jet and (2) sand jet. Water cutting equipment is designed to use only pure water knife, only sand knife, or both. In any case, pressurize the water first.
Principle of high pressure:
The basic technology is simple and complex. In the basic case, water flows from the pump, through the pipe, and out of the cutter head. Its description, operation and maintenance are very simple. However, this process involves complex material technology and design. To generate and control 60000 psi of water pressure requires science and technology that is not available in books. Under this kind of pressure, if the design is not proper, small leakage may cause corrosive damage to the workpiece. Fortunately, the water jet manufacturer has adopted complex material technology and engineering design. Users need to know the basic knowledge of water jet operation.
