Important Safety Information

SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

For your own safety, read this guide thoroughly and carefully before the equipment is installed, operated, maintained, or issues are troubleshooted.

Save these instructions.

This guide contains important safety information for the equipment. Careful compliance with the safety information helps prevent physical injury, damage to the equipment, and can extend the equipment's life.

Equipment safety features, safety glasses, hearing protection, and more can reduce potential injury. Be careful when the equipment is installed, operated, and maintained. Safety guards and features do not guarantee your safety if you are careless, inattentive, or use poor judgment. If it feels dangerous, do not try it.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY IN YOUR SHOP.

Keep the equipment and area around the equipment clean and free from clutter

• Remove all installation, operation, or maintenance tools from the equipment before it is operated.
• Keep the work area clean and clutter-free to prevent accidents.
• Keep the equipment clean for the best performance.

Get medical aid immediately for an abrasive waterjet injury. Tell the physician the cause of the injury, the type of abrasive waterjet work that was done when the accident happened, and the water source.

Stagnant water in the catcher tank can introduce dangerous bacteria into cuts, scrapes, small breaks in the skin, and other types of wounds. Injuries that involve contact with the catcher tank water should receive aid immediately. Injuries that involve contact with the water should be attended to immediately.

Unusual infections with aerophilic microorganisms that occur at lower temperatures have been reported. These can be gram-negative pathogens, such as those found in sewage. Bacterial swabs and blood cultures may be helpful to assist a physician's diagnosis.

Equipment Grounding Requirements

• Make sure the equipment is correctly grounded in accordance with the national, state, and local codes. Do not remove the prongs from the plug. Always plug into the correct electrical outlet.
• The ground wire gives the electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electrical shock during a malfunction or breakdown. The machine has an electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor (EGC) and a ground plug (United States, Canada, and Mexico only). The plug must be connected to a matching outlet that is correctly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not change the plug—if it does not fit the outlet, have the correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• If the EGC is incorrectly connected, it can result in electric shock.
• Contact a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not understood or if not sure if the equipment is correctly grounded.
• Do not use extension cords with the equipment.
• If the cord is damaged or worn, immediately replace it. Contact OMAX for replacement parts and instructions. The insulation of the EGC is covered with a green or green with yellow-striped surface. If replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Refer to the equipment-specific wiring configuration.

• Make sure that the equipment is connected to an outlet that matches the plug configuration.
• The equipment must not be connected to any different type of electric circuit.
• No adapter is available or should be used with this equipment.
• For countries other than the United States, Canada, and Mexico, OMAX does not supply a sufficiently rated industrial-grade plug.
• Contact a qualified electrician or service personnel to install a sufficiently rated industrial-grade plug in accordance with national, state, and local codes.

In abrasive waterjet machining, high-pressure water with garnet abrasive particles hits and cuts the material. The abrasive grit and eroded particles from the cut material collect and settle at the bottom of the catcher tank until discarded. Different materials can have different requirements to discard them correctly. Always refer to all local and federal regulations. For example, when poisonous materials such as lead or radioactive metals are cut, the correct steps must be taken to discard the poisonous or radioactive water, material debris, and used abrasive garnet; local and federal regulations must be followed. Always refer to the local utility company for sewage or water treatment requirements and procedures to discard waste materials.

When aluminum is cut, the small particles of aluminum dust in the catcher tank react with the water to make flammable hydrogen gases. Usually, hydrogen bubbles to the surface and is released into the shop in safe, low concentrations.

Make sure no ignition sources (open flame or electrostatic discharge) are near the abrasive waterjet system.

Monitor the catcher tank for hydrogen gas bubbles when large quantities of aluminum are cut. The aluminum powder (made from the removed material) and spent garnet collect at the bottom of the catcher tank. The aluminum then reacts with the water and releases hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas can collect in bubbles in the garnet. The hydrogen gas bubbles are flammable. Keep the garnet levels in the catcher tank low to prevent hydrogen gas bubbles from being collected within the garnet.

Do not smoke near the machine. Keep other sources of ignition or flammable materials near the machine. Be careful when materials that create sparks are cut, such as titanium, which can fire the gases in the catcher tank and cause an explosion. Remove the aluminum powder from the catcher tank before machining materials that spark.

Keeping the ProtoMAX equipment clean and maintained is essential for long-term operation. Use care when cleaning the equipment because the particles used in abrasive waterjet machining are abrasive. The following instructions focus on best practices for cleaning the machine. A basic cleaning step is included as part of the equipment shutdown checklist, but cleaning the cutting deck area is recommended after cutting a part.

Abrasive waterjet cutting, by its nature, is a messy process. When cutting parts, abrasive in the jet stream erodes the material that is being cut. All of the water and particles create a sludge that builds up in and around the cutting area. Additionally, the mist from the cutting process accumulates on the inside of the cutting deck enclosure. Using the nozzle splash guard is a best practice for helping to keep the machine clean.

Used garnet abrasive by itself is not toxic and can be taken to a dump site or disposed of normally. However, if any hazardous materials were cut, the garnet abrasive waste becomes subject to several environmental regulations. Contact the local officials for proper disposal methods.

Clean the Garnet Bins

The garnet bins capture some of the spent particles introduced into the catcher tank during the cutting process. Particles settle into these bins rather than accumulate in the catcher tank. See the Maintenance Schedule for the recommended frequency for this task.

2.

Lower the water in the catcher tank to below the thumbscrews.

3.

Spray a strong stream of water on the thumbscrews to remove all debris.

5.

Rinse the garnet bins until clean.

6.

Replace the garnet bins and tighten the thumbscrew.

7.

Close the lid.

4.

Close the lid.

Clean the Cutting Stage

The cutting stage is where all of the components to support and cut the material are located, including the cutting deck, the X, Y, and Z-axes, and the nozzle. See the Maintenance Schedule for the recommended frequency for this task.

If cutting plastics or using the polymer cutting deck to support materials while cutting, plastic debris can accumulate on and around the cutting deck area. Excessive plastic debris can build up and clog the drain system.

4.

Close the lid.

3.

Inspect the cable track for damage and if damaged, contact technical support.

4.

Close the lid.

Clean the Catcher Tank Filters and Drains

The catcher tank has an adjustable drain and filter [1] and an overflow drain and filter [2] for maintaining the water level during operation. Each drain is equipped with a filter to keep garnet and other cutting debris in the catcher tank allowing the debris to accumulate in the garnet bins. See the Maintenance Schedule for the recommended frequency for this task.

1.

Open the lid and lock it in the upright position.

2.

Remove the filters from the adjustable drain pipe and overflow drain.

4.

Spray the filters with a strong stream of water to remove debris or replace if needed.

5.

3.

Press on the center of the panel to secure it to the table frame.

4.

Repeat the steps to install the remaining panels.

5.

Insert the abrasive tube into the abrasive feed block [1] and the nozzle [2] (Figure 639).

6.

Close the lid.

7.

Perform a nozzle test, see Test the Nozzle.

The mixing tube is very brittle and easily broken if dropped or struck hard. The key to a long mixing tube life is maintaining a healthy orifice or jewel. Damage to mixing tubes caused by misaligned jets or a damaged jewel is not apparent when looking through the bore of the mixing tube. The size of the kerf and cutting performance are the best indicators of mixing tube wear. The kerf is the width of the cut made by the abrasive waterjet. With a 0.030 in. (0.762 mm) mixing tube, it can range from 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) to 0.060 in. (1.52 mm), depending on the nozzle, the thickness of the material, and the amount of wear on the mixing tube.

A clogged mixing tube is most frequently caused by using contaminated garnet abrasive. Because the opening in the mixing tube is small, even a small particle of dirt can clog it. Other potential causes of clogging include contaminated or wet garnet abrasive. Metal chips from other shop operations and paper from the garnet abrasive bag are two common sources of contamination. To clear a clogged mixing tube, see 401434-EN Operation, ProtoMAX.

Inspect the mixing tube inlet and outlet ends to see if it needs to be replaced (Figure 641). See the Maintenance Schedule for the recommended frequency for this task.
