Product Name: Autoline™ Abrasive Nozzle Assembly Wear Insert (.043 x .156) – Part No. 05135827

Description:
This component is a wear insert specifically designed for the mixing chamber of Autoline™ series abrasive waterjet cutting heads . The .043 x .156 designation refers to its inner diameter (0.043 inch) and length (0.156 inch). Constructed from ultra-hard, wear-resistant tungsten carbide, this sacrificial insert protects the more expensive nozzle body from the erosive effects of the high-velocity abrasive waterjet . It is a critical consumable component within the Autoline™ Abrasive Nozzle Assembly (see Table 12-45, Item 3) .

Applications:

• Serves as the mixing chamber insert in Autoline™ I and Autoline™ II abrasive waterjet cutting heads .

• Positioned between the water orifice (jewel) and the focusing tube (mixing tube) where the high-pressure water and garnet combine.

• Suitable for cutting hard materials, such as metal, stone, glass, and composites .

• Typically used with orifice diameters of 0.013 inches or larger .

Features:

• Tungsten Carbide Construction: Provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance against high-velocity abrasive flow .

• Sacrificial Design: The insert is designed to erode over time, protecting the more expensive nozzle body .

• Autoline™ Compatibility: Specifically designed for Autoline™ series cutting heads, ensuring seamless integration .

• Consumable Component: As a high-wear part, it requires periodic replacement based on usage and cutting conditions.

• Weight: Approximately 0.033 lbs (0.015 kg) .

Maintenance:

• Failure Diagnosis: Replace the wear insert if cutting performance degrades (slower speeds, rougher edges) or if visual inspection reveals erosion, cracking, or enlargement of the internal bore.

• Inspection: Regularly inspect the wear insert for signs of wear or damage during routine cutting head maintenance .

• Replacement Procedure:

• Perform replacement in a designated clean area to prevent contamination.

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

• Disassemble the cutting head assembly to access and remove the worn insert.

• Clean all internal surfaces thoroughly before installing a new insert.

• Optimization: For optimal performance, the wear insert should be replaced simultaneously with the focusing tube (mixing tube) as a matched set.

• Part of Larger Assembly: This insert is a standard component of the Autoline™ Nozzle Assembly (P/N 05147970) and is compatible with the Autoline™ Abrasive Nozzle Assembly.
