Additional Waterjet Products

Triplex direct drive waterjet cutter

Advantage of triplex waterjet is its low power consumption and small size. Diesel engines are often used with triplex direct drive waterjet due to this low power property. Direct drive pumps are also of high power efficiency. Hydraulic intensifiers losses power due to heat generation with in the hydraulic system. In general, triplex pump waterjet does not require special cooling system. The small size advantage of direct drive waterjet also makes it a good choice of portable waterjet application. IWM provides reliable and low cost triplex direct drive waterjet cutting machines.

Tilted cutting with 4 axis or 5 axis waterjet machine

In order to remove taper on the edge of cutting with normal waterjet, IWM offers tilted waterjet head with 4 or 5 axis CNC control. With tilted cutting head, the taper is only on the scrap side of the material and effectively no taper on the edge of the part. In addition, with the 4 axis or 5 axis waterjet, purposely titled edge on the part is achievable. This enables waterjet to cut complicated 3D parts.

Waterjet pipe cutting machine

There are different categories of waterjet pipe cutting machines, portable or not portable, with or without CNC. Portable water jet pipe cutter can cut pipes already install in a plant or oil field. CNC controlled waterjet pipe cutting machine can cut holes on the pipe for branch connection or for elbow connection with miter cut.

Portable waterjet cutting machine

There is huge need for portable waterjet cutting machine with applications ranging from dismounting wrackage, to field structure repair such as pipe cutting, and even for large sized tyre (OTR tires) cutting. IWM offers Waterjet machine can cut OTR to reduce size to get ready for next shredding process. CNC programmed waterjet machine can optimize the cutting speed for improving throughput and cost reduction. One CNC waterjet machine is suitable to cut differnt sizes of OTR. When used at fields without electric power, diesel engine or diesel generator can be used.

Conventional waterjets pressurize water to high pressure and then mix water with abrasive just before water exits the cutting head. Abrasive is accelerted by high speed water in a mixing tube to receive kinetic energy. Within the 3 or 4 inches length of mixing tube, energy transfer is not very efficient and puts on high requirement of ultra high pressure. However, there is a speical kind of design portable waterjet cutters that pre-mix abrasive with water before it gets pressurized. This enables abrasive to get high kinetic energy at lower pressure with less power driving the pump so that the watejet pump can be made small and light in weight. This kind of portable waterjets are often used for emergency rescue and some other special situations and are not designed and made to be used for heavy duty and long lasting work.

Water blasting with waterjet

With the advanced technology, IWM also manufactures multi-nozzle high pressure jet cleaning machines, also known as water blasting. The water jet (spray cleaning) is for cleaning of hard to reach and/or hard to scrub locations. The water blast cleaning is often used to remove paint or rust, or clean the internal of pipes. The advantage of water blast cleaning is that it does not creat health killer dust as sand blasting, and does not damage the surface of parts to be cleaned.

CNC waterjet tire cutting machine

Waterjet cutting machine is especially useful in cutting composite materials, such as a tire, which is made of rubber and steel. The cutting methods that are suitable for cutting steel is often not good to cut rubber because of the heat generated from cutting steel. Waterjet tire cutting machine is a cold cutting tool and perfactly meets the requirement of cutting rubber and steel at the same time.

Other products:

High Pressure Sensor

Another high tech product IWM can supply is ultra high pressure transducer or sensor. The pressure range of measurement is up to 14000Bar (200 KPSI, 1500Mpa). Standard transducer output is 4-20mA. Normalized 0-10 mA current output or voltage output is also available. This pressure transducer is especially useful in a feedback loop of pressure control for applications such as waterjet cutting machines. Find more details of high pressure transducer. The pressure sensor/transducer is often combinded with an IPCI Digital Instrument as read out and control output device. Most common application of such pressure sensor is on a cnc waterjet cutter.

Precise high water pressure generator

In some cases, other than jet cutting applications, there is need to have a kind of high pressure source for testing products that will work under pressure. High pressure water is a good media for ultra high pressure source because of its low compression ratio compared to air. The fact that water does not get compressed much of its volume at high pressure makes it less risk of explosion. The same low compresion ratio property also makes it quick to increase/decrease pressure with water and save process time. WM can provide equipment as high pressure souce up to 60,000 psi. The pressure can be controlled at incremental of 20 psi.

Metal cutting with CNC plasma cutters

For metal cutting applications, plasma cutting is often the cost effective alternative. IWM provide stand alone CNC plasma cutting machine, or a CNC cutting system with the combination of waterjet and plasma cutting. For cutting tube and beam applications, IWM has recently developed CNC plasma tube cutting machine, which can be used to cut square tubes, rectangular tubes, angles, H beams, C beams, and other shapes of beams.
