Waterjet process control – SureCut

  • The waterjet cutting process can be controlled with great precision through Hypertherm’s Waterjet Process Control. The HyPrecision™ intensifier works in tandem with the CNC and the part program in order to obtain optimal cutting results.
  • These settings:
    • Help to ensure that the abrasive and water flow are closely matched to the motion
    • Help to keep the nozzle from clogging by flushing out the mixing tube after every cut
  • Settings include:
    • Abrasive on delay
    • Abrasive off delay
    • Water off delay
    • Pierce motion delay
    • Abrasive on/off delay, water off
    • Delay and pierce motion delay are now set
    • On installation based on hose length (see Setup and Installation section for details)
  • These settings can be automatically set by the part program (through part program support), set by the CNC or customized by the operator for the specific job.
