Accustream boosts CML alloys waterjet capability

The AccuStream AS 60 100hp intensifier and the WARDJet ZX-2543 waterjet cutting table give CML Alloys with the ability to cut nickel alloys and titanium with a high degree of accuracy and with minimal waste material. The company has also improved lead times and further expanded its range of services using the waterjet cutting process to provide fully machined parts to exacting customer specifications.

The AccuStream AS 60 100 hp intensifier was selected after careful consideration of its suitability and CML Alloys did assess other makes of intensifier. The build quality, low cost of ownership, PLC based diagnostic control and twin intensifier design of the AccuStream were important considerations. AIR (Advanced Intensifier Technology) ensures easy simple maintenance, prolonged component life and high levels of reliability. For example, for simplified access the hydraulic rod seals and plunger bearing are readily accessed from the outside of the hydraulic end cap.

For improved component life, the hydraulic centre section features an advanced piston design to minimise seal wear and improve component life. For lower maintenance, the check valve utilises a screw-less, low-pressure poppet design to enable quick evaluation of key contact surfaces.
