English Translation of Title:
Standard Sapphire Orifice 0.001–0.025 mm – Waterjet Cutting Equipment Accessory (ID: A2260001)

Description, Purpose, Features, and Maintenance:

This component is a precision synthetic sapphire orifice with a flow diameter ranging from 0.001 mm to 0.025 mm. It is mounted at the waterjet cutting head, upstream of the abrasive mixing tube, to convert ultra-high-pressure water into a coherent, high-velocity jet that initiates the cutting process.

Purpose:

• Restricts and accelerates water flow at pressures up to 6,000 bar to form a focused cutting stream.

• Controls the water volume and jet diameter to suit different material types and thicknesses.

• Serves as the primary flow-regulating element that determines cutting precision and efficiency.

Features:

• Manufactured from single-crystal synthetic sapphire for extreme hardness and wear resistance.

• Precision-machined orifice ensures consistent jet coherence and minimal flow turbulence.

• Chemically inert and fully corrosion-resistant in waterjet operating environments.

• Withstands continuous high-pressure exposure without dimensional deformation.

• Compact size allows quick replacement without dismantling major cutting head components.

Maintenance:

• Replace when cutting speed decreases, edge quality deteriorates, or kerf width increases.

• Inspect under magnification for erosion, cracking, or bore enlargement every 100 operating hours.

• Handle only with non-metallic tweezers; avoid touching the orifice surface to prevent contamination.

• Clean using an ultrasonic bath with deionised water; do not use abrasive materials.

• Install with the correct flow direction as marked to ensure proper jet performance.

• Store spare orifices in a padded, dust-sealed container to prevent edge damage.
