Waterjet cutting technology uses a mixture of high-pressure water jets and abrasive to cut materials, suitable for hard or brittle materials such as ceramics, glass, metals, and carbon fibers. Five-axis waterjet cutting machines add a rotary axis to the traditional three-dimensional motion, enabling the cutting of complex curved surfaces, making them particularly suitable for machining irregularly shaped parts. Among them, the portable waterjet high-pressure servo direct-drive pump five-axis waterjet cutting machine, with its high precision and high flexibility, has become an important tool in the industrial processing field.
1,Technical Principles and Core Structure: This equipment uses a servo motor to directly drive a high-pressure pump, pressurizing water to 300-400MPa and mixing it with garnet abrasive to form a high-speed jet. Its five-axis system includes X/Y/Z three-axis linear motion (strokes of 3000mm, 2000mm, and 150-200mm respectively) and A/B two-axis rotation (oscillation angle 0-60°), enabling spatial curved surface tracking cutting. The gantry structure provides high rigidity support, ensuring equipment stability during cutting, with a cutting accuracy of ±0.1mm. The bus control system (Weihong/Esa) optimizes motion trajectories through real-time data interaction, reducing machining errors.
2,Operation Method and Applicable Scenarios: The equipment supports direct import of CAD drawings. Operators set the cutting path, speed (0-15m/min), and swing angle parameters through the control system. The cutting range covers 3000mm×2000mm, capable of processing large plates or irregularly shaped workpieces. Safety design includes a high-pressure water sealing system, emergency stop device, and protective cover, meeting industrial safety standards. It is suitable for precision machining in industries such as ceramic sanitary ware, glass curtain walls, metal parts, and carbon fiber composites, and is especially suitable for scenarios requiring reduced heat-affected zones (such as cutting aerospace aluminum).
3,Technical Highlights and Actual Performance: Compared with traditional mechanical cutting, waterjet cutting eliminates thermal deformation, produces a smooth cut, and reduces material loss by more than 30%. A servo direct-drive pump replaces the traditional hydraulic drive, improving energy conversion efficiency by 20% while reducing the risk of hydraulic oil leakage. The five-axis linkage function enables the equipment to cut complex shapes such as hyperboloids and spheres that traditional three-axis equipment cannot achieve, such as automotive interior parts and art glass engraving. Bus control technology enables multi-axis synchronous motion, with a dynamic response speed 50% faster than traditional PLC control, making it suitable for high-speed continuous processing.
4,Customization and Expandability: The equipment supports modular design, allowing adjustment of the Z-axis travel (selectable within the range of 150-200mm) and swing angle parameters according to processing needs. The control system is compatible with various industrial software interfaces, facilitating integration into automated production lines. For special materials (such as high-hardness alloys) or ultra-large workpieces, customized processing can be achieved by extending the gantry span or adding auxiliary support devices, meeting the special needs of aerospace, shipbuilding, and other fields.
