/01 WATERJET TECHNOLOGY

BP-C® 4020-1
/01.1 HISTORY
During the first development of the waterjet technology, water was merely used for cleaning.
In 1968, Dr. Norman Franz patented what would be the first intensifier used for waterjet cutting
(700 bars). The subsidiary KMT (Karolin Machine Tool) developed the first intensifier to reach 4100 bars
based on this patent. In 1971 the first intensifier of 4000 bars was developed.
/01.2 OPERATION
The operation principle starts with a primary circuit, which drives oil at a pressure of 200 bar
thanks to a hydraulic pump. The oil is driven left and right in the cylinder by means of a four-way valve.
This is how the movement of the piston is generated in the second circuit, the one corresponding to
water. The corresponding inlet and outlet valves allow the water to fill and be expelled from the secondary
circuit cylinders. A ratio of 20:1 between the surface of the hydraulic piston and the stem, achieves a
water pressure of 4,000 bar. To reduce the pressures peaks when the piston changes direction, a pressure
accumulator is installed. The cutting head is connected to the intensifier through rigid stainless steel
tubing. Finally, a sapphire or diamond orifice is responsible for the conversion of pressure into a waterjet
of great velocity (approximately 3000 km/h).
The strength of the water and the abrasive is able to separate the material. The cutting head moves
along the material following a series of instructions given by the control system to cut the required shape.
The speed of the movement depends on a variety of factors, such as material, thickness, shape of the part,
pump pressure and type of abrasive, among others. Controlling the speed of the cutting head is a crucial
factor to achieve economical and efficient cutting.

/08.7 WATER COOLING · TCI CHILLER
The hydraulic oil cooling system for
intensifier pumps with a closed water circuit is optimal
for warm regions, as it allows to maintain the correct
operating temperature even in the summer months. It
also eliminates the cost of cooling water since it is a
closed circuit which, cools the water with a gas and
recirculates constantly.

/08.8 KIT TCI CUTTING 5XDD V4.0 – 5 AXIS CUTTING HEAD
The 3D cutter head has five axes, 3 linear and 2 rotating. It has been designed for both pure 3D
cut and 2D 1/2 cut (flat cut with bevel), without losing 2D (flat) cut functionality. Its design features offer
great work possibilities. Especially its infinite rotation in the C axis, which avoids the need to rewind with a
consequent reduction in working times and a lower risk of reducing the cut quality. On the rotating frame
of the C-axis, it is possible to connect the height adjustment and anti-collision control module.
Due to the configuration of the axes, it is possible to reach any position and / or orientation of
the nozzle keeping the focal point constant, which allows the cutting of parts in 3D. The orientation of the
spindle is software limited from -60º to 60º, a limitation that can be extended up to -90º and 90º, as long
as an adequate user protection system is ensured in compliance with current machine safety regulations.

It is also possible to eliminate the taper of the pieces, by means of a TCI JET CONTROL1.0 with
a tangential cutting function using the 5-axis, that has been programmed in the CNC.

Clarification on the sound level reached with the use of this cutting head
The noise level generated by the machine has been set at 85 dB at a distance of one meter during
cutting 10 mm material with one cutting head with a nozzle diameter of 0.30 mm and submerged cutting.
Note: This level can vary considerably and exceed the set level (85 dB) depending on the cutting
conditions and the shape of the pieces when cutting. Therefore, it is necessary that the client / user
equips workstations around the machine with the necessary equipment (protective cells, ear protection
for operators ...) depending on the actual noise.

/08.9 HD Plasma (High Definition) combined with Waterjet
The combination of HD plasma (high definition) with waterjet technology, makes it possible to
combine speed and cutting quality, essential requirements to be competitive.
/08.9.1 History
During the initial developmental stageof this technology, the United States defence industry
discovered a new welding technique whilst researching better ways of joining metals together. This
process, usually referred to as TIG or GTAW welding, involves feeding an inert gas through an electric arc.
From 1941, when it was discovered, up to the present day, technology has continued to advance
with the development of submerged plasma cutting, thus expanding the cutting performance or enabling
cutting without dross, whilst at the same time continuing to increase cutting performance.
/08.9.2 Cutting methods
• Transferred arco / Non-transferred arc:
This is generally the most utilised method as the pre-heating of the material facilitates the
fusion process.
• Dry method: various options:
- Without supply gas: a single gas is used to heat and melt the work piece
- With protective gas: this is injected around the nozzle of the conventional manner,
crating an area which restricts the projection of ionized gas and also keeps it clean
- Air as plasma gas: this promotes oxidation of the material and an exothermic reaction
which also generally favors the process.
• With water:
- Water protected arc, instead of using the protective gas on the outside of the nozzle,
water injected under pressure is used which favors cooling of the nozzle, a part that suffers
quite a lot during the process due to the high temperatures. The water also ensures that
this area is clean by raising the quality of the cut, and restricts the temperature in the
cutting area improving the speed.
- Submerged arc: this reduces the noise level and the ultraviolet radiation and prevents
the formation of fumes and gases. The speed is redued by 10%. There is a danger of small
explosions: these are caused by the hydrogen generated when the work piece is totally
submerged when it can become dissociated from the water, the oxygen escapes through
the melted material and the hydrogen is then deposited mainly under the sheet. To avoid
this, the water must be kept in constant agitation.

• High definition
The aim of the process is to produce a very high energy density. The energy density reflects
the intensity of the current per square centimetre and the objective of the process is for the
density to become much greater than when using any other conventional type of plasma
cutting technique. This process can achieve a density three times greater, in the order
of 6000 or 9000 amps per square centimetre, thus accelerating the cutting speed. This
process competes with that of the laser for cutting relatively reduced thicknesses, both in
terms of speed and cutting quality.
/08.9.3 Performance
This process is also thermally based and for this reason, when the objective is fusion of the
material, the aim is to reach the ideal temperature to enable it to melt and by means of the generated gas
flow to heat the work piece; the melted material is then expelled, thus cutting and advancing.
Many technical references, refer to plasma as the fourth stage of matter; however, plasma is
simply an ionized gas; in other words, it conducts electricity and is therefore capable of reaching a very
high temperature, to a degree high enough to melt a work piece when projected onto it.
/08.9.4 HD Plasma unit (high definition) 130A
The plasma generator and the automatic console have a
continuous amperage rating of 130 A.
