KMT Feedline V - Abrasive Metering System

Stable and repeatable operating parameters are a fundamental requirement for high-quality waterjet cutting. This applies in particular to abrasive applications used to cut brittle materials, where a constant fl ow of abrasive is simply a must. KMT WATERJET SYSTEMS responded to this demand by developing the FEEDLINE abrasive metering system. Controlled through a central CNC controller or a potentiometer, the FEEDLINE supplies the cutting head with the optimized fl ow of abrasive. This helps save material and costs.

KMT Abraline V

Precise monitoring of all relevant parameters is a prerequisite for efficiency and reliability in waterjet cutting. This becomes particularly clear when cutting brittle materials such as stone, marble or glass: only a uniform stream of abrasive ensures economical, fast work without damage.

CLEANLINE I

The mobile desludging system CLEANLINE removes sand deposits from the cutting basin during the ongoing cutting operation. Therefore, laborious manual basin cleaning, expensive suction services or long production stoppages are a thing of the past. The CLEANLINE is run on compressed air only; thus it can be used anywhere and without the risk of a short circuit. Abrasive flow monitoring saves time and costs Our ABRALINE feeding system precisely monitors the availability of sufficient abrasive closely during the entire cutting process. This protects your valuable material from damage and saves unnecessary costs and time. Its concept assures process stability, security and a very high degree of reliability. Two tanks for a continuous abrasive flow The ABRALINE transfer system consists of a big silo for the abrasive and a smaller tank which lies directly underneath. This vessel contains abrasive sand pressurized by compressed air. The connected flexible hose guides the abrasive directly to the abrasive metering system of each cutting head. Additionally, the system features a control cabinet with a control relay which continuously monitors operating states and relays the corresponding signals to the pneumatic system and the control lights. Sensors monitor abrasive availability Both of the tanks contain level sensors in the sand exit slot areas. Their signals are constantly monitored in the control station located in the electrical cabinet. When the abrasive level in the vessel reaches its minimum, the respective sensor gives a signal to the control relay which then opens the valve at the vessel inlet to automatically refill the vessel with abrasive. If the abrasive level in the upper tank is lower than required, a warning light begins to flash thus informing the operator to replenish the feeding hopper with abrasive sand. The convenient solution for different demands KMT offers the ABRALINE feeding system in two different sizes suitable for different requirements. The smaller version ABRALINE Comfort is sufficient for ensuring the abrasive feed for occasional cutting needs. For large cutting machines which operate continuously and with multiple cutting heads, we recommend the model ABRALINE Advanced.
