Our Commitment
Our commitment to manufacturing excellence takes several forms. One is the continuous implementation of advanced waterjet cutting technologies throughout our product offering, which deliver significant cost benefits to our customers. Moreover, these technologies are applied within our own manufacturing facilities, proving that competitive manufacturing is possible anywhere around the globe. Advanced Intensifier Technology
AccuStream’s AIT Technology combines innovative design, quality manufacturing, and carefully selected materials to maximize maintenance intervals, simplify component replacement and minimize cost of operation. This unique technology is available in every one of our waterjet machines. Hover your mouse over a number below for details.
1Ceramic Plunger
The large diameter ceramic plunger has a low stroke rate with reduced
friction for longer seal life.
2Hydraulic Center Section
The piston design uses a long-life seal and low friction wear ring to
significantly increase component life. Mating metal to metal sliding surfaces have been
eliminated.
3Plunger Rod Seal and Bearing
Hydraulic rod seals and plunger bearing can be readily accessed from the
outside of the hydraulic end cap. The result is quicker maintenance times.
4Electronic Shift
Solid state end of travel sensing provides smooth quick reversal of the
intensifier for stable pressure and quality cuts. Shift times are monitored by the PLC to prevent
over-stroking in case of a leak.
5Non-threaded High Pressure Cylinders
Threaded rods securely preload the HP cylinders and make it easier to
access internal parts. Maintenance can be performed quickly to just one side of the intensifier at
a time. Threadless cylinders reduce the risk of galling stainless intensifier parts together and
increase component life, protecting users against costly repairs.
6Check Valve
The exclusive screwless low pressure poppet design eliminates loose parts
in the high pressure cylinder. This feature allows for fast, easy removal and repair of the check
valve and low pressure poppet.
A2 Abrasive Waterjet Cutting HeadThe A2 is the latest manufacturing and engineering excellence from AccuStream. The A2 offers superior performance over other industry-standard. All components are designed to ensure precise alignment for the most concentric waterjet stream achievable. The A2 allows use of diamond or ruby orifices and is the only waterjet cutting head specifically designed for use of both. Precise alignment of the orifice to the nozzle ensures maximum power for delivery to the cutting surface. This extends component life and increases cutting speeds.
Abrasive Regulator IIA very important factor for cutting edge quality is the accuracy and stability of the abrasive flow rate. The Accustream Regulator II is designed to ensure peak waterjet cutting performance. The Regulator II’s compact abrasive metering system delivers the precise amount of abrasive needed to the waterjet cutting head at maximum speed. The system is positioned close to the cutting head which decreases the distance the abrasive travels and guarantees a smooth cut, while curtailing the abrasive that is wasted on inefficient cutting. |
