Product ID: 05116025 – Mixing Tube / Focusing Tube

Description:
This component is a mixing tube, also known as a focusing tube, for abrasive waterjet cutting systems. It is a cylindrical consumable part installed directly below the cutting head. Inside the tube, abrasive particles are mixed with the high-pressure waterjet and focused into a coherent cutting stream.

Applications:

Used exclusively in abrasive waterjet cutting machines to form and direct the abrasive-laden cutting jet onto the workpiece.
Installed in the cutting head assembly, immediately downstream of the orifice and mixing chamber.
Suitable for cutting hard materials such as steel, stone, ceramics, armor plate, and composites.

Features:

Manufactured from extremely hard and wear-resistant material, typically tungsten carbide or similar sintered carbide.
Precision-ground inner diameter (ID) ensures a straight, focused abrasive jet for clean, narrow kerf cuts.
Available in various lengths and bore diameters to match different cutting requirements and material thicknesses.
Designed as a sacrificial consumable; the inner bore gradually erodes with use, affecting cut quality and accuracy.
Withstands the high-velocity impact of abrasive particles accelerated by the high-pressure waterjet.

Maintenance:

Regularly inspect the exit orifice of the mixing tube for ovality, flaring, or visible bore enlargement.
Replace the mixing tube when cut quality degrades (e.g., increased taper, rougher edge finish, slower cutting speed).
Monitor cutting performance; a typical mixing tube life ranges from 40 to 200 cutting hours depending on abrasive type, flow rate, and operating pressure.
When removing the mixing tube, handle carefully to avoid chipping or cracking the carbide material.
Clean the mixing tube holder and sealing surfaces during each replacement to ensure proper alignment and leak-free installation.
Do not attempt to ream or resize a worn mixing tube; replace it with a new component.
Always depressurize the cutting head before removing or installing the mixing tube.
