Active Autoline II / IDE II

With the cutting heads ACTIVE AUTOLINE II and ACTIVE IDE II, KMT WATERJET SYSTEMS has developed abrasive cutting head assemblies that provide the best efficiency by utilizing long life components. Thus, maintenance efforts can be reduced and running times extended. The KMT cutting heads feature the following characteristics:

Design ensures correct alignment of the jet

There is no need to adjust the water jet alignment at the nozzle. The construction design ensures that the water-abrasive mixture is ejected at the center of the nozzle and at maximum speed.

Instant indication of preventable faults

The cutting head is equipped with a leakage bore near the water nozzle. It indicates 
whether the nozzle is installed correctly and the cutting head is properly secured. Damage to the sealing surfaces of diamond or sapphire nozzles or to the nozzle pipe can thus be easily detected and eliminated.

Pre-filter protects the water nozzle

The pre-filter is installed between the HD line and the nozzle valve body in the adapter. This component reduces the mechanical impact on the water nozzle, as particles are removed from the cutting jet so that they do not cause abrasion to the nozzle. This significantly prolongs the service life of the nozzle and lowers the operating costs.

Superior edge quality

Thanks to the longer service life of the diamond orifices, a more consistent waterjet can be achieved over a longer period of time. This in turn helps increase the lifespan of the focusing tube and results in smoother cutting edges and less waste.

Reduced setup time

The pre-aligned orifice and focusing tube reduce the operator setup time by maintaining an accurate Tool Center Point (TCP), and ensuring an effective cutting stream.

ACTIVE AUTOLINE II

Easy solution for top level performance

• The patented tool-free attachment allows for the quick exchange of the water and focusing nozzles without the need to dismantle the abrasive feed hose.
• The unique non-metallically welded nozzle base caters for high precision and repetition accuracy.
• The AUTOLINE™ II cutting head includes only three wear parts, namely the orifice, the mixing chamber and the focusing tube, which are made from extremely wear resistant materials.
• The nozzle body consists of an exchangeable insert. If worn, simply replace the mixing chamber.
• Pure-water cuts can be made with the same orifice, so retooling takes only a few seconds­.
   

ACTIVE IDE II

ACTIVE IDE II – Breakthrough in performance and simplicity

• As the cutting head contains a minimum number of individual components, it is particularly easy to handle while producing high-precision cuts.
• Important features are the low maintenance effort, the exact targeted cutting jet, the pre- filter protecting the orifice and the advanced nozzle valve design.

The diamond orifice and the mixing chamber are combined in a single nozzle body. Both professional users and workers who have only recently been introduced to abrasive cutting benefit from the simple design of the unit as the focusing tube and the pre-filter, which are the only wear parts, can be exchanged easily and quickly.
