Never open the Door while WAZER is running. Never leave WAZER unattended
while it is running, this includes all power-on states including a pause state or the main menu.
A pressure gauge for the high pressure hydraulic system is located on the left-hand side of the
Pump Box. It is recommended that you check this gauge periodically throughout the cut and also
when debugging a cutting related issue. As a reference to the colors:
•
If below the green area: You may experience partial cutting but it is safe to continue. This
may be a sign that your inlet pressure is too low, your inlet water filters are clogged, or your
pump unit may need to be refurbished.
•
If in the yellow zone between cutting segments, this is expected and normal, proceed as
usual. If in the yellow zone during the middle of a cut, pause the machine, cancel the cut,
and contact WAZER support.
•
If the needle is in the red zone, pause the machine, cancel the cut, and contact WAZER
support.
When the pressure exceeds 4600psi/315MPa (red zone on gauge), the pressure relief valve inside
the pump box will open and release the excess pressure. When this occurs a small amount of
water is released which may be noticed as small drips in the bottom of the pump box. This should
not occur under normal operation. If noticed during a cut segment, pause WAZER immediately,
cancel the cut, and contact WAZER customer support.
1.
Check, Pause or Cancel the Cut
While WAZER is running you can:
•
View the status of the Cut
on
the Control Panel. This includes elapsed time and
completion percentage.
•
Pause the Cut
Pressing Start/Stop will pause the Cut. Water and
Abrasive will stop flowing, and the Nozzle will hold its
position. This will not happen instantaneously, because
WAZER must perform the correct Shutdown.
•
Once paused, you can either cancel the cut or
continue the cut. Select the option you want and
press okay to confirm your selection. If you choose
to cancel, WAZER will immediately purge its line
pressure (in the form of a burst of water from the
nozzle). The nozzle will stay in the last position.
DO NOT
open the Door until you hear
that the Jet has turned off and see that the Nozzle has
stopped.
DO NOT
open the Door until you have
canceled the Cut and the Control Panel returns to the
Main Menu. This is required so that the high pressure in
the hydraulic lines can be safely released. If for some
reason this was not possible (ie. Emergency shutdown
required or accidental reset of the machine), don’t worry
just do a High Pressure Purge from the WAZER controller
Menu or start/cancel a cut.
If instantaneous stop function is necessary, push down the
Emergency Stop Button located near the UI Screen. This
will cut power to both Main Unit and Pump Box.
•
Complete the Cut
The Control Panel will indicate that the Cut is completed. It is now safe to open the Door.
Push the Nozzle aside and move the gantry out of the way by hand. Remove the fasteners
securing the Materials.
•
Cleaning WAZER
Once a Cut finishes, you will notice that the inside of WAZER is covered in Used Abrasive.
If you are going to continue cutting with WAZER, there’s no need to clean off this abrasive
now. If you’re done cutting for the day, leave the Door open and allow the Used Abrasive to
dry. Once dry, it is easy to dust away the abrasive with a soft brush to clean WAZER.
Bacteria can build up in the standing water of the Tank. Any injuries or
cuts, even minor ones, should be treated with caution. If you have open
wounds avoid contact with the water or wear gloves that do not expose
you to the Tank water
