KMT Waterjet releases new abrasive cutting head
The ACTIVE IDE™ is new in the product range and comes with a different construction of the nozzle body where the abrasive and the waterjet stream is mixed together. The ACTIVE IDE ™ re-defines how the waterjet industry views abrasive cutting heads! The cutting head with the fewest parts, for a new level of simplicity and high-precision edge quality.
Simplicity
The orifice and mixing chamber are combined in one nozzle body, eliminating the guesswork around which piece is worn, reducing pieces held in inventory and dramatically simplifying the head.
10 to 20 Times Greater Performance
Performance is far superior to sapphires. Longer orifice life means more uptime due to fewer orifice changes and provides more consistent, precision cutting. The integrated design is based on a “coalescing plenum” for an effective and efficient mixing of water and abrasive. The design minimizes jet stream disruption for maximum energy in the cutting section of the stream. Diamond orifices also improve pump performance by eliminating “orifice blowouts” which cause sharp pressure drops and pump overstroking.
Superior Edge Quality
Long performance of the diamond orifice delivers a more consistent stream for a longer amount of time, extending focusing tube life and providing a better, much more consistent cut edge to reduce scrap and eliminate waste.
Quick Change from Pur Water Cutting
The changeover from a pure water cutting head is fast and easy. Only the purewater nozzle tube is to be replaced by the IDE nozzle tube which fits into the nozzle valve.
