| 20120021676 | SYSTEMS FOR ABRASIVE JET PIERCING AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Various embodiments of abrasive jet cutting systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an abrasive jet system includes a cutting head configured to receive abrasives and pressurized fluid to form an abrasive jet. The system also includes an abrasive source configured to store abrasives that are supplied to the cutting head, as well as a fluid source configured to store fluid that is supplied to the cutting head. The system further includes a gas source configured to store pressurized gas that is selectively supplied to the cutting head. When supplied to the cutting head, the pressurized gas can advantageously affect, such as by at least partially diffusing, the abrasive jet. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110232442 | FLUID-JET SYSTEMS INCLUDING MULTIPLE INDEPENDENTLY-CONTROLLABLE BRIDGES AND FLUID-JET CUTTING HEADS, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Various embodiments of fluid-jet systems are described herein. In one embodiment, a fluid-jet system includes a table and two bridges that are each longitudinally movable along the table. Each bridge carries a fluid-jet cutting head latitudinally movable along the bridge. The fluid-jet system also includes a first controller operably coupled to the first bridge and the first fluid-jet cutting head. The first controller controls the first bridge and the first fluid-jet cutting head. The fluid-jet system also includes a second controller operably coupled to the second bridge and the second fluid-jet cutting head. The second controller controls the second bridge and the second fluid-jet cutting head independently of the control of the first bridge and the first fluid-jet cutting head by the first controller. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20100326271 | RECIPROCATING PUMP AND METHOD FOR MAKING A SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED DYNAMIC SEAL RELIABILITY - A pressure pump may include a reciprocating assembly including a dynamic seal configured to be in sliding contact with a surface. The surface may be implanted with positive ions such as hydrogen ions/protons to provided reduced wear and/or greater service life of the dynamic seal. According to embodiments, a pump may include an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene dynamic seal may substantially fixed relative to a cylinder wall, and a proton impregnated reciprocating plunger may pump high pressure water or a water based fluid in a system. The pump may exhibit increased dynamic seal life. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100301794 | SYSTEM AND METHOD INCLUDING FEED-FORWARD CONTROL OF A BRUSHLESS SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR - A drive system, such as for a fluid jet cutting system, includes a brushless synchronous motor configured to drive movement through a loosely coupled transmission, a sensor configured to sense movement, and a control system configured to drive the brushless synchronous motor responsive to previously measured drive coupling. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100064870 | FLUID JET CUTTING SYSTEM WITH BED SLAT CAPS - A bed slat cap is configured to protect a bed slat in a fluid jet cutting system. A fluid jet cutting system includes a plurality of bed slats, at least some of the plurality of bed slats being protected by one or more corresponding bed slat caps. A bed slat cap may include a hardened material to protect the bed slat. A bed slat cap may include a material softer than the bed slaps to protect the bottom of a workpiece. A fluid jet bed slat may be constructed as a composite assembly including a support portion and one or more fluid jet impingement portions. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20090311944 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ETCHING PLURAL DEPTHS WITH A FLUID JET - A fluid jet system is configured to etch a workpiece to a plurality of depths to produce an etched part corresponding to a computer image. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090247048 | Abrasive pump for an abrasive jet cutting machine - An abrasive supply system may, for example, be used to supply abrasive particles such as garnet to a cutting nozzle of an abrasive jet cutter. According to an embodiment, the abrasive is propelled by a substantially constant flow rate gas source. According to an embodiment, the system may be supplied with abrasive from an atmospheric pressure abrasive hopper. According to an embodiment, a controller automatically actuates refilling of an abrasive tank from the abrasive hopper, and then automatically closes an abrasive supply valve and restarts abrasive propulsion. According to an embodiment, the controller may include or consist of pneumatic logic. | 10-01-2009 |
