OPAL CUTTING MACHINE
OPAL CUTTING MACHINE
is a precise digitally operated device for waterjet cutting.
The unusual construction of a cutting machine
enables high precision cutting. Its construction
is based on a long-time experience and modern
high pressure water stream technology.
Our device is equipped with modern amplifying
high-pressure pumps which are currently the
highest world standard.
The pump manufacturers are the industry
leaders - UHDE from Germany and KMT form
USA.
Integrated diamond cutting heads are the best
heads available on the market.
Many elements which are subjected to water
are made from stainless steel.
Passage elements and steering system elements are additionally protected by flexible
bellows shields.
Driving system, that is, servomotors, planetary
gears, precise slide-ways and accurate toothed
bars guarantee long life-span as well as a high
precision.
DRIVING SYSTEM
A lengthwise driving system moves a cutting
machine’s portal on a lengthwise route. Two
synchronized servo-drives, a right one and
a left one, placed inside machine’s side cars
are used. In order to prevent any damage of
moving parts of a driving system, the system
is protected by a lateral shield.
Transfer of the driving system from a driving
engine’s shaft is carried out by means of
a toothed wheel moving along a toothed bar
fixed to a lateral surface of aluminium driving
profiles. Lengthwise drive was
constructed so that it prevents forming of
empty spaces between a toothed wheel and
a toothed bar.
Toothed wheel is constantly clamped to
a toothed bar by means of a clamping spring,
which guarantees a long-term stable drive
work.
Transverse driving system moves a device’s slide
across the cutting machine’s portal. Driving
system is mounted on a device’s slide. Transfer
of the driving system from a driving engine’s
shaft is carried out by
means of a toothed wheel moving along
a toothed bar fixed to an upper surface of an
aluminium portal.
Transverse drive was constructed so that it
prevents forming of empty spaces between
a toothed wheel and a toothed bar. Toothed
wheel is constantly clamped to a toothed bar
by means of a clamping spring,
which guarantees a long-term stable drive
work.
Water tank is a self-supporting construction. Its
function is to accumulate water and abrasive
material
used during the cutting process; moreover,
water in a tank is to suppress the energy of
a cutting stream.
Upper side of a tank is composed of a frame
with supporting sheets which include WEMA
gratings. The gratings and a scaffolding construction create a working table where a cut
material is placed.
Output stream has by default the pressure of
up to 4000 bar or optionally up to 6000 bar
depending on an applied pump.
Depending on client’s needs and expectations,
OPAL WCS cutting machines can be equipped
with:
- tank cleaning system,
- abrasive material recovery system,
- sensor of the distance between the device
and the material,
- anti-collision sensor.

Using STANDARD-UHDE series pumps
in the integrated waterjet cutting systems is
a result of company’s long experience, high
technological and service reliability. Due to
this fact, the STANDARD-UHDE series became
a leading European standard in clean water
cutting, as well as in abrasive material waterjet cutting. Pump parameters are operated
from the main control panel. All parameters,
including output pressure, oil temperature,
oil pressure etc. are analyzed in real time. The
pumps are cooled using air, which enables
additional use for the produced heat in room
heating. Siemens engines and Parker hydraulic
elements used in the pump provide high working performance, Specialized system of liquid
preparation eliminates pressure fluctuations,
enabling uniform work. The pump is equipped
with stepless regulation of output pressure
available through the control panel.
UHDE Gmbh also designed the original solu-
tions for high-pressure equipment elements.
Examples include the patented high-pressure
non-return valve with improved durability and
easy servicing, and reliable pressure reduction
unit (used for fast and safe release of pressure after machine shutdown, or for pressure
reduction while making the opening hole in
brittle materials). Symmetrical, unmanned high-pressure accumulator was designed using the
„metal on metal” method. Elimination of threaded joints in the accumulator’s construction
increased its lifespan. In HPS/HPD-type pumps,
an innvative - symmetrical - high-pressure cylinder was used.
During a prolonged use f the pump, operation marks appear on the inner surface of
the cylinder, within the sealing workspace;
also, lifespan of the sealing is noticeably
decreased. In this solution, the highpressure
cylinder can be rotated and the sealing
may be installed in the part of the cylinder
that was not previously used.

The pumps are equipped with a special
service car, which allows the client to

to the work table. Sealing can be changed
in a comfortable position on the pump

6000 BAR TECHNOLOGY
UHDE was the first company to introduce
industrial pump with 6000 bar pressure in
2005. With such high pressure, the cutting
speed and the thickness of cut material
is higher in comparison to the speed of
pumps with 4150 bar pressure. Quantity
of utilized abrasive material is decreased
by 30% and the quality of the cut surfaces
is comparable with the quality of ground
surfaces.
sive material is injected into the flowing stream
of water and creates a relatively homogeneous
stream in the mixing chamber. Stream of the
mixture is then directed in the concentrator
nozzle. Precise alignment of the orifice and
mixing chamber guarantee a significant extension of the nozzle’s lifespan and elimination of
stream dissipation.
ABRASIVE MATERIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
AMS is a complete, ready for plugging set essential for waterjet cutting with the addition of
abrasive material.
The set includes:
- IV 4150 cutting head,
- ALLFI abrasive material batcher with 300 cm3
inter mediate tank with the option of abrasive
material quantity regulation 0 to 600 gr/min.,
- abrasive material feeder with 530 dm3 tank
(about 1.3 tons of abrasive).
nuous and prolonged work is required, DUPLEX
system tanks can also be used. It is a system of
devices that work alternatingly.
table with adjustable water level
An Aadditional advantage of Eckert’s Combo is
a water table with adjustable water level. Water
level depending on the thickness of the material – the water level can be raised or lowered.
Thanks to this ability, it is possible to cut under

TRENTEC cutting head is one of the most efficient and durable cutting heads available on
the market. Diamond orifice improves cutting
performance and increases lifespan of the cutting head.
High pressure stream of water is concentrated
in the cutting nozzle. Going through the water
orifice, it creates a very narrow stream. The abra-
During the process of abrasive cutting, a suspension of abrasive and water is formed in the tank
under the work table. If the cutting process is
intensive, the sediment may quickly fill the tank.
What is more, the sediment may become caked
and hard to remove. It is a very time-consuming
and strenuous work, that is why we propose
an automatic suspension removal system that
cleans the tank while cutting. The suspension
is directly pumped out of the tank during the
cutting process into two sediment tanks. This
guarantees high effectiveness of the filtration
process. The precipitated sediment is gathered
in filtration bags, so called BigBag, which may
hold about 4.0 Mg of sediment. This process is
friendly for the environment. In addition, the
abrasive material recovery system may also be
included with the station.
Water softening system
Water softening devices are selected based on
maximum flow per hour. Knowing the level
of water hardness, and the volume between
reclamations as well as the demanded hardness
value, devices can be properly selected. If conti-
2,5d HEAD - bevel correction
bevel correction
Water stream during the cutting of large thicknesses can cause bevel edge.
To prevent this, use the head 2.5D, which cancels chamfering during the lean cut of ± 3 °.
This option, called the compensation of the
cone is set manually by editing the parameters.
During cutting, system automatically calculates
the appropriate angle in X, Y and C.
It should be noted that the inner contour cutting is done in a counter-clockwise and the
outer contour in a clockwise direction.
