Why car interior manufacturers favor robotic waterjet solution?

Manufacturers favor water jet cutting robots because the cutting results are always clean and uniform regardless of the material. Robot water jet cutting has no heat affected zone. The workpiece remains in its original state without defects or deformation during cutting. In addition, the water jet will not produce dust or smoke. Avoid the use of chemical solvents to make the working environment cleaner. Robot water jet may help eliminate additional finishing applications, such as grinding, because of their improved accuracy and the clean edges produced by high-pressure water jet cutting. This helps to prevent material waste while reducing manufacturing costs.

Waterjet applications can be harmful to workers, which is why robots are usually enclosed in a work cell. When the water jet robot works, the workers shall not be in the cutting area. High noise and extreme pressure from the jet make it unsafe. The work unit can integrate many safety functions, including protection, scanner and light curtain, to prevent injury to workers during robot water jet working. So we’ve designed a type which is called celling type robot water jet cutting machine to solve these problems

Since the advent of water jet cutting, researchers in various countries have made unremitting efforts to improve the performance of water jet technology. On the one hand, by fully understanding the action mechanism of jet cleaning and cutting, the action effect of jet can be improved; On the other hand, its performance can be improved by changing the jet shape or action mode. Among them, abrasive jet is a typical success. Only introducing abrasive particles into water jet can double the efficiency of jet cleaning or cutting. At the same time, it also makes it possible to process many materials that are difficult to be processed by pure water jet, such as super hard alloy, ceramics, composites and so on.

Changing the characteristics of working medium, clean water, as the common working medium of high-pressure water jet system, has the characteristics of low price and no pollution. In the jet cleaning system, there is a large amount of water, and water can hardly be replaced as cleaning fluid. Therefore, except for a small amount of chemical additives used in a few special-purpose low-pressure cleaning units, almost all high-pressure cleaning machines use clean water as the working medium.

The water jet cutting system is different.It can be classified into pure waterjet and abrasive waterjet.Because it consumes less water and has a fixed working place, it is possible to recover he working medium. Therefore, it is of practical significance to study the influence of the composition of the working medium on the jet cutting efficiency. Generally speaking, the liquid jet working medium as a cutting tool should have the following characteristics:

characteristics

1.In order to make the high-voltage equipment work stably for a long time, the working medium should have the lowest corrosivity;

2.In order to reduce the power loss of conveying channel and nozzle, the working medium must have low viscosity

3.In order to facilitate open operation, the working medium should be low toxic and harmless to human body;

4.For long-term work, the working medium should meet the requirements of low cost.
