9 Key Considerations You Can’t Ignore in Waterjet Cutting Processing

1. Maintain Safe Distance: During cutting, both operators and unrelated personnel should keep a safe distance from the machine.

2. Secure Small/Light Workpieces: Smaller or lighter workpieces should be securely fixed to prevent displacement during cutting.

3.Ensure Flat Placement: The workpiece must be laid flat to avoid damaging the abrasive nozzle and prevent potential safety accidents.

4.Do Not Manually Correct Displacement: If the workpiece is dislodged by water pressure during cutting, do not attempt to reposition it using any tools or objects.

5.Depressurize Before Handling: Before retrieving materials or changing the nozzle, ensure the high-pressure water switch is turned off and residual pressure is fully released.

6.Adjust Pressure by Material: Use appropriate pressure settings tailored to the type of material being cut.

7.Check Sealing of High-Pressure Components: Monitor the intensifier and high-pressure hoses for proper sealing and any potential leaks.

8.Emergency Power-Off Caution: In case of a sudden power outage, residual high-pressure water may remain in the system. Once power is restored, do not approach the cutting head until all pressure has been safely released.

9.Monitor Equipment Indicators: Operators should regularly check the status lights on the machine to ensure it is functioning normally.
