Tips and best practices for getting started.
Orderly start-up and shutdown processes
Use an orderly boot process each time you prepare your system. Creating a checklist to use creates consistency among workers and ensures that no steps are missed.
Verify that the motion table is clean and free of debris, fixtures, or any material that has not been cut during the process.
Confirm that there are no obstructions that will affect the movement of the cut in any direction.
Inspect the cutting head to make sure you're using the correct combination of orifice and nozzle needed for the job and make sure there are no signs of damage.
At the end of the cutting cycle, clean the bench and any areas where splashing occurs.
After the reverse start-up process, the water jet and support system are switched off after the production run.
