How it works · Abrasive cutting
The cutting head accelerates the abrasive with a high-velocity waterjet to generate a stream capable
of cutting any material.
When the on/off valve is enabled, high-pressure water flows through the orifice assembly. This
creates a high-velocity stream that passes into the mixing chamber, creating an area of partial
vacuum. The vacuum draws a metered flow of abrasive through the abrasive delivery line, where it
combines with the water to create a high-energy abrasive cutting stream.
This stream exits the cutting head through the mixing tube at a tip velocity of up to 3000 ft/sec (914
m/sec). After cutting, the residual energy of the abrasive stream is contained and dissipated by a
catcher.
