What is the swivel of waterjet cutting head?

The swivel of a waterjet cutting head is a crucial component that allows for flexible movement and orientation of the cutting nozzle during operation. Here are some key aspects of the swivel:

-- Function: The swivel connects the high-pressure water supply (typically from a pump) to the cutting nozzle. It enables the nozzle to pivot and move without kinking or damaging the high-pressure hose. This flexibility is essential for precision cutting and maneuverability.

-- Design: Swivels often incorporate seals and bearings to allow for smooth rotation while maintaining pressure integrity. They are engineered to withstand the high pressures and abrasive materials used in waterjet cutting.

-- Movement: The swivel allows the cutting head to tilt and rotate, which helps in achieving complex cuts and accessing various angles without needing to reposition the entire machine.

-- Wear and Maintenance: Like other components in a waterjet cutting system, swivels can wear out due to constant movement and exposure to high-pressure water and abrasive materials. Regular maintenance and inspections are necessary to ensure they function effectively and to prevent leaks.

-- Types: There are different types of swivels based on the design of the waterjet system. Some are designed for specific applications, such as those requiring more significant mobility or higher pressure ratings.

Overall, the swivel is essential for the functionality and efficiency of a waterjet cutting head, allowing for effective control and precision in cutting operations.
