In recent years, the number of people with eco-conscious mind is noisily raising their voice with actual solutions as our mother nature suffers silently from industrial pollution. Good examples are electric cars and alternative energy sources. Seemingly, this voice is powerfully influencing across diverse industries, with the cutting machinery industry in particular responding to this call. A technology first appeared half a century ago called “Water Jet Cutting System “, a machine that is capable of cleaning or slicing metal and other materials with high-velocity and pressured water by using a jet, and for a better cutting experience, abrasives like garnet and aluminum oxide could be added.
Dominant Presence in the Market
As the leader in this Water Jet Cutting System area, TOPS is topping all competitors as they are already dominating 70% of the Korean market, thanks to their extensive technology, experience, and know-how, helping TOPS earn recognition from their loyal patrons. SUPERJET, a major Water Jet Cutting System created and developed by the superior technology of TOPS that oversees Water Jet development, design, processing and fabrication with their expertise is a living evidence of its success. It is now the first pick in Korea.
TOPS’s SUPERJET
There are several types of SUPERJET distinguished by each table size such as the SJA-2030 ( table size : 2000 x 3000), SJA-1530, SJA-2040 and so on. The special benefits that the system can bring are low operation cost and high productivity, relatively low material loss with thin kerf cutting, stable cutting quality, scrap recyclability and reusability, short preparation and fast set-up, and efficient stack cutting.
Its cutting power comes from the high-pressured water and abrasive additives while the cutting table unit has high rigidity and precision feed system that is capable of simultaneous driving mechanism. Its Ball-Screw Feed driver brings in high precision feeding together with the Nut-mechanism that provides high speed and accurate driving. The High Pressure Pump Unit is comprised of an intensifier which creates high pressure and Ceramic high pressure piston enhancing durability of pressure seal, Cylinder Block By-pass mechanism for flow and pressure control, pulsation-minimizing large Attenuator, and its easily-maintainable frame structure.
The Control Unit has CNC Control for system reliability and is implemented with an Automatic or Manual operation, Integrated Control and Monitoring function, and Full System Automation. TOPS’s software for the system, TOPS CAM offers overall convenience for related programming, drawing and specific information alongside Cut Speed V2.30 which clarifies automatic cutting speed calculations and offers Surface quality level set-up, calculated piercing cycles and so on.
