PRO-Series for 6200 Bar by Karolin Machine Tool Private Limited (kmt Waterjet)

The new PRO abrasive cutting head from KMT Waterjet has been specially designed for waterjet cutting with 6,200 bar. Its design and materials can withstand huge forces while focussing the energy to the point where it is needed, namely to the cutting jet.

ACTIVE AUTOLINE™PRO-I abrasive cutting head
Among the outstanding features of ACTIVE AUTOLINE™PRO cutting heads are automatic precision positioning, perfect repetition accuracy, high cutting speeds, long service life and easy maintenance. It takes only seconds to replace the few wear parts of the head, such as the orifice, mixing chamber and focussing tube, and no tools are required. In order to keep routine maintenance to a minimum, these parts are made from tough wear-proof materials. The typical features of KMT Waterjet products based on the innovative approach for efficiency and economy in continuous operation have thus been successfully integrated into the design of the company's latest development. ACTIVE AUTOLINE™PRO cutting heads can also be integrated into all waterjet cutting systems with rigid or multiple head connections.

ACTIVE IDE™PRO-I
Improved cutting performance thanks to high precision
The diamond orifice is integrated into the orifice body. A specially devised manufacturing method ensures that the waterjet is at all times properly aligned and connected to the mixing chamber located below the orifice body. In the mixing chamber, the abrasive is added to the waterjet. The stringent production tolerances for the mounted cutting head guarantee that the cutting jet is always properly aligned along the axis. As the waterjet exits the focusing tube at the correct angle, the power of the waterjet is focused for optimum impact. This allows for maximum cutting speeds at minimum cutting gaps combined with excellent cutting edge quality.

AQUALINE PRO-I
The nozzle valve for maximum stress
The wide range of cutting tasks and numerous switching cycles puts a heavy strain on the nozzle valve. With the AQUALINE PRO pure water cutting head, KMT Waterjet has now developed the perfect solution for 6,200 bar applications. As the cutting speed is higher than with 4000 bar, delamination is significantly reduced and in many cases completely eliminated. Depending on the actual requirements, the valves are available as normally open (N/O) or usually closed (N/C) valves. These high-pressure valves usually open in less than 50 ms, depending on the operating pressure. High precision, sturdy design and extremely short switching times are the key features of the AQUALINE PRO waterjet cutting head range.
