Product ID: 05076971 – Nozzle Cap / Cap, Autoline™ I

Description:
This component is a nozzle cap designed specifically for the Autoline™ I abrasive waterjet cutting head assembly . It is a threaded cap that secures the upper portion of the cutting head, retaining internal components such as the orifice, wear insert, and mixing chamber within the nozzle body .

Applications:

• Used as the uppermost retaining cap on Autoline™ I abrasive waterjet cutting head assemblies .

• Installed to secure the orifice and seal the top of the mixing chamber within the nozzle body (Product ID 05073820).

• Suitable for ultra-high pressure waterjet systems operating at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) and compatible with Autoline I series components.

Features:

• Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material (typically hardened stainless steel) to withstand ultra-high pressure operation.

• Precision-machined threads for proper fit with the Autoline I nozzle body assembly .

• Designed to provide proper compression and sealing for internal O-rings and seals within the cutting head .

• Engineered specifically for the Autoline™ I self-aligning cutting head system, ensuring correct alignment between the orifice, mixing chamber, and focusing tube.

• Features a compact profile that allows for installation in the confined space of the cutting head assembly.

Maintenance:

• Fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before removing the nozzle cap.

• During disassembly, use the correct size wrench on the cap's wrench flats; do not use pipe wrenches or pliers that may damage the cap surfaces.

• Inspect the cap threads for signs of wear, galling, or corrosion before reassembly.

• Inspect the internal sealing surface that contacts the O-ring for pitting, scratching, or erosion.

• Clean the cap thoroughly using a soft cloth and low-pressure water; remove all debris, old abrasive particles, and seal residue.

• When reinstalling, lubricate the threads and O-ring with manufacturer-recommended high-pressure grease.

• Install the cap over the orifice and seal, ensuring the O-ring is properly seated before tightening .

• Tighten the cap to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual; over-tightening may damage the internal seals or orifice, while under-tightening may cause high-pressure leaks.

• Replace the cap if threads are damaged, if wrench flats are rounded, or if cracks are detected.

• During routine cutting head maintenance, inspect the cap for wear and replace if necessary .
