English Translation of Title:
Standard Sapphire Orifice 0.005–0.127 mm – Waterjet Cutting Equipment Accessory (ID: A2260005)
Description, Purpose, Features, and Maintenance:
This component is a precision synthetic sapphire orifice with a flow diameter ranging from 0.005 mm to 0.127 mm. It is installed at the waterjet cutting head, upstream of the abrasive mixing chamber, where it converts ultra‑high‑pressure water into a coherent, high‑velocity jet that entrains abrasive particles for effective material cutting.
Purpose:
Restricts and accelerates water flow at pressures up to 6,000 bar to generate a stable, focused cutting stream.
Regulates water volume and jet diameter to suit thicker materials and higher cutting speed demands.
Acts as the primary flow‑control element that determines jet coherence, abrasive mixing efficiency, and overall cutting precision.
Features:
Manufactured from synthetic sapphire (single‑crystal aluminium oxide), offering extreme hardness and outstanding wear resistance.
Precision‑machined bore ensures consistent flow characteristics and minimal jet divergence.
Chemically inert and fully corrosion‑resistant in high‑pressure water and abrasive slurry environments.
Maintains dimensional stability under extreme pressure cycling and temperature variations.
Compact design enables rapid, tool‑free replacement in most cutting head assemblies.
Maintenance:
Replace when cutting performance declines, indicated by slower feed rates, wider kerf, rougher edges, or increased taper.
Inspect under magnification for erosion, cracking, or bore enlargement after every 80–120 operating hours.
Handle exclusively with non‑metallic tweezers; avoid touching the orifice surface to prevent contamination.
Clean using an ultrasonic bath with deionised water only; do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents.
Install with the correct flow direction (marked on the component) to ensure proper jet formation.
Store spare units in a cushioned, dust‑tight container to protect against impact damage and particulate contamination.
