Equipment Safety Features

The abrasive waterjet provides several built-in safety features:

Overpressure Protection

During operation, pump pressure is monitored to prevent an overpressure condition. If the pump exceeds the factory set maximum pressure limit, the safety relief valve activates and shuts down the pump unit.

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 main AC electrical supply from the machine. To isolate the machine from its electrical supply, always unplug the main AC supply power cord from its electrical supply outlet.

Safety Lid

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