Active Autoline II Waterjet Cutting Head by Karolin Machine Tool Private Limited (kmt Waterjet)

High Speed, self-aligning Cutting Nozzle

Further development of tried and tested cutting heads
The new AUTOLINE™ II abrasive cutting head combines the reliability of the original model with a number of innovations that make waterjet cutting even more efficient and userfriendly. Old cutting heads can be replaced quickly and easily. ACTIVE AUTOLINE™ II systems can be integrated into all waterjet units, be it 2D units, multi-axle machines or robot systems.

Optimised abrasive feed
The abrasive material is fed through a wear-proof cemented hard metal tube at an angle of 30° to the mixing chamber. This reduces the need for space and prolongs the service life of the nozzle body and insert. The mixing chamber has been repositioned to allow for better access for the cleaning and replacement of the nozzle insert. A pin ensures proper alignment of the mixing chamber and the abrasive inlet at the nozzle body, so that flow loss caused by incorrect installation is effectively prevented. The orifice is mounted directly on the mixing chamber.

Design ensures correct alignment of the jet
There is no need to adjust the water jet alignment at the nozzle. The construction design ensures that the water-abrasive mixture is ejected at the centre of the nozzle and at maximum speed. The centred and powerful waterjet is one of the key features of all AUTOLINE cutting heads.

Ergonomic handling of focusing nozzle
The installation and removal of the focusing nozzle has been made even more user-friendly. Thanks to the wing screws, it can be properly mounted without the need for tools.

Instant indication of preventable faults

The cutting head is now equipped with a leakage bore near the water nozzle. It indicates whether the nozzle is installed correctly and the cutting head is properly secured. Damage to the sealing surfaces of diamond or sapphire nozzles or to the nozzle pipe can thus be easily detected and eliminated.
