Sep 1, 2024
Techni Waterjet Presentation Notes
Introduction
Presenter: Glenn Langdon, Director of Techni Waterjet
Business partner: Darren Reukers
Founded in 1989
Focus: Designing and engineering beneficial products for the waterjet industry.
Key Features of Techni Waterjet Machines
Breakaway Head
Prevents damage to the cutting head or material if a blockage occurs.
Allows the head to de-lodge upon impact, activating emergency stop mode.
Tech-Sense
Monitors abrasive flow to the cutting head.
Pauses machine operation if a blockage is detected, preventing damage from cutting with pure water.
Programmable Abrasive Feeder
Enables programming of abrasive feed rates for high and low pressure cutting.
Water Raise/Lower Function
Allows for underwater cutting, which:
Suppresses noise.
Reduces mess during piercing holes.
Remote Pendant Control
Enables movement of the cutting head in X, Y, and Z axes using a handheld pendant.
Compatible with PAC60 5-axis head for additional movement.
In-House Engineering
Techni Waterjet keeps all engineering in-house.
Developed proprietary software and nesting package.
Machine Protection
360-degree bellows protect the motion system from abrasive dust and water.
Ensures longevity and performance of machines over time.
Easy Maintenance
Cutting table slats can be easily replaced.
Manager App
Facilitates lights-out cutting for long jobs.
Alerts users via mobile if issues arise, allowing remote management of the cutting process.
Quantum Servo Pump (Released 2009)
Benefits:
Energy efficient.
Quiet operation.
Easy seal changes.
Advanced diagnostics for monitoring pump performance globally.
Tech-Head Diamond Cutting Head (Released 2017)
Diamond is aligned with the wear insert and focus tube for:
Increased life of the focus tube.
More consistent cutting stream.
Abrasive Feed Systems
Options:
500-kilo hopper for easier loading of 25-kilo bags.
2-ton hopper for bulk loading.
Advantage of 500-kilo hopper: waist height for easier loading.
Garnet Removal System
Facilitates removal of garnet from the tank post-cutting.
Utilizes bags for easy disposal via forklift.
PAC60 5-Axis Head
Innovative design allowing for continuous rotation during operation.
High-pressure water, abrasive, and air flow through the center.
Drilling Head Option
Pre-drills pierce points to prevent material delamination (e.g., carbon fiber).
Touch-Probe
Automatically sets standoff by measuring material distance.
Maps material sheets to adjust cutting height.
Tech-Vision System
Captures images of slabs for accurate nesting and cutting.
Ensures precision in applications like countertops.
Twin Cutting Heads
Enhances productivity by enabling simultaneous cutting of the same part.
