Height sensor is good for large and small sheet users

Water Jet Sweden has unveiled a new height-sensor setting system, designed in-house, and which is claimed to "raise the game to new heights".

The new sensor can maintain height within a tolerance of +/- 0.1 mm to give, for example, an assured position of 2.5 – 3.0 mm over the whole working area. Such an area can extend up to more than 4 by 12 m. User benefits are greater cutting efficiency and cleaner edges at no extra cost.

But while users of large size material can benefit, so too can users of smaller profilers, because it cuts down the initial set-up time and, for a profiler making many product changes per shift, this adds up to greater productivity and less need for overseeing by a higher skilled operative.

The new height sensor system can be fully integrated with the latest WJS anti-collision monitoring device that has also just been announced. At the end of each operating cycle, the system will automatically raise the head well clear of the surface as a safety measure to help protect the expensive jet nozzle from accidental damage during workpiece retrieval.
