American Flow: Bring Waterjet Cutting Technology to China

The water jet, that is, the large pressure generated by the high-speed water column as the power for various types of cutting, has become the most rapid development of the industrial cutting machine tool technology, has a more accurate cutting effect, lower energy consumption, environmental protection and many other advantages and technological breakthroughs . In this year's Industry Fair, American Flow Corporation, which has a market share of more than 80% of the world's waterjet market, has also brought its latest scientific and technological achievements in order to deliver advanced waterjet cutting concepts to China.

As Flow's English name Flow (Flow) conveys, Flow Corporation is the world leader in UHP waterjets. Since 1974, Flow has more than 10,000 sets of cutting equipment for different production in more than 60 countries. Used by the person. The dynamic XD waterjet exhibited at this industry fair represents the latest high-end process in the global waterjet market.

Compared to conventional waterjets, the dynamic XD waterjet incorporates three-dimensional cutting and effective tolerance control technology to achieve flat, bevel, and three-dimensional cutting needs, cutting up to 60 degrees of bevel, and no other system in the world In contrast, at the same time, the dynamic XD water jet also provides a high-pressure pump of up to 647 MPa, which is 75% higher than most waterjets in the world, and cutting speed can be increased by 50%, which is also the most advanced today. Pump system. The newer, faster, and more powerful, dynamic XD waterjet demonstrates the power of its top waterjet in every respect.

Of course, ultra-high technology also means a high price, and the price of a dynamic XD waterjet is as high as 3 or 4 million. It is inevitable that most Chinese companies will be discouraged. For the Chinese market, Flow also launched the WJP Waterjet, which is "economical and practical." Although it cannot be compared with the ultra-high performance of dynamic XD, WJP also maintains Flow's consistent high quality and excellence.

The WJP waterjet has a 380Mpa direct drive pump, which can produce a water arrow at a speed of 915 meters per second (about three times the speed of sound) through a small nozzle. This water arrow can be used for various surface treatments and can be used to cut various non-metals. Substances such as paper, glass fiber, sponge, etc. When cutting metal and hard materials such as stone, glass, ceramics, etc., sand and water arrows can be mixed to increase its cutting ability. This high-speed sanding knife can cut almost any material.

WJP waterjets have no cutting material, thickness, or direction restrictions. They produce little lateral force without thermal effects and distortion. These features enable them to save more time and processing equipment, and to process the required materials at one time. . More importantly, cutting with a water jet will not produce any toxic gas, and the water consumption will be minimal, which absolutely meets the needs of the company's environmental protection.

Whether it is the top dynamic XD waterjet or the economical and practical WJP waterjet, this concept of high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly water cutting is believed to have been successfully demonstrated to the whole of China through the Industry Fair, and it is believed that this idea will become The main force of the future cutting industry.
