Equipment Safety Features

The abrasive waterjet has several built-in safety features:

Overpressure Protection

During operation, pump pressure is monitored to prevent an overpressure condition. If the pump pressure increases more than the factory-set maximum pressure limit, the safety relief valve starts and stops the pump.

Electrical Protection

The equipment controller includes short circuit, overcurrent, and thermal protection for the pump motor.

Electrical Disconnect/Emergency Machine Off (EMO)

An electrical disconnect/emergency machine off (EMO) switch is used to remove the primary AC electrical supply from the machine. To isolate the machine from its electrical supply, always unplug the primary AC supply power cord from its electrical supply outlet.

Safety Lid

The lid of the equipment has a safety interlock to prevent waterjet operation when the lid is open.
