English Translation of Title:
Standard Sapphire Orifice 0.012–0.305 mm – Waterjet Cutting Equipment Accessory (ID: A2260012)
Description, Purpose, Features, and Maintenance:
This component is a precision synthetic sapphire orifice with a flow diameter ranging from 0.012 mm to 0.305 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 cutting thick, dense, or hard‑to‑cut materials.
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 heavy‑section materials and high‑feed‑rate operations.
Serves as the primary flow‑control element that determines jet coherence, abrasive mixing efficiency, and cutting precision.
Features:
Made from synthetic sapphire (single‑crystal aluminium oxide) for 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 fluctuations.
Compact design enables rapid, tool‑free replacement in most cutting head configurations.
Maintenance:
Replace when cutting performance declines, evidenced by slower feed rates, wider kerf, rougher edges, or increased taper angle.
Inspect under magnification for erosion, cracking, or bore enlargement after every 80–120 operating hours.
Handle exclusively with non‑metallic tweezers; avoid finger contact 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.
