Product ID: 20453949 – Autoline™ II Nozzle Assembly (Complete Cutting Head, 0.030 inch Wear Insert)

Description:
This component is the complete Autoline™ II abrasive nozzle assembly for high-pressure waterjet cutting systems . It is a fully assembled cutting head that serves as the final stage of the abrasive waterjet system, where ultra-high-pressure water is mixed with abrasive particles and focused into a coherent cutting jet. This specific configuration includes a 0.030 inch diameter wear insert .

Applications:

• Used as the primary cutting head assembly on abrasive waterjet cutting machines .

• Installed at the end of the high-pressure water line and abrasive feed tube to generate the abrasive cutting jet.

• Suitable for cutting hard materials including metal, stone, glass, ceramics, armor plate, and composites .

• Compatible with 2D units, multi-axle machines, and robotic waterjet systems .

Features:

• Complete Assembly: Includes all components of the cutting head: nozzle cap, nozzle body, wear insert (0.030 inch x 0.156 inch), feed tube assembly, handle, T-knob, guard, and all associated O-rings and seals .

• Self-Aligning Design: Fixed alignment between the orifice and focusing tube ensures the water-abrasive mixture is ejected at the center of the nozzle at maximum speed, eliminating the need for manual jet alignment adjustments .

• Tool-Free Maintenance: Patented coupling system allows rapid replacement of the water nozzle (orifice) and focusing tube without disassembling the abrasive feed hose or using special tools .

• Only Three Wear Parts: The cutting head contains only three wear components: the orifice (water nozzle), the mixing chamber (wear insert), and the focusing tube (mixing tube), all made from extremely wear-resistant materials .

• Optimized Abrasive Feed: Abrasive material is fed through a wear-proof cemented carbide tube at a 30° angle to the mixing chamber, reducing space requirements and extending service life of the nozzle body and insert .

• Replaceable Mixing Chamber Insert: The nozzle body contains an interchangeable insert (wear insert). When worn, only the insert needs replacement, not the entire nozzle body .

• Leak Detection Feature: Equipped with a leakage bore near the water nozzle to indicate whether the nozzle is installed correctly and the cutting head is properly secured .

• Pure Water Compatibility: Capable of pure water cutting with the same nozzle; changeover takes only seconds .

Maintenance:

• Only three components are subject to wear: the water nozzle (orifice), the mixing chamber (wear insert), and the focusing tube (mixing tube) .

• Tool-free design allows rapid replacement of wear parts without special tools .

• The alignment pin ensures proper orientation of the mixing chamber and abrasive inlet, preventing flow loss from incorrect installation .

• When inspecting, use the leakage bore to verify correct installation of the nozzle and focusing tube .

• Replace the wear insert when internal bore erosion or diameter enlargement is visible.

• Always replace the focusing tube and wear insert together as a matched set for optimal performance.

• Fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before any maintenance.
