Waterjet Mixing Tubes & Nozzle Accessories
Explore KAD's range of waterjet mixing tubes and related nozzle accessories for abrasive cutting systems. Our products include replacement focusing tubes, nozzle clamps, and protective components used in cutting head assemblies. Each component serves a different function, from directing the abrasive waterjet stream to securing or protecting the tube during operation. Part selection depends on the cutting head configuration, dimensions, and equipment specifications.
Waterjet Mixing Tube
Waterjet mixing tubes, also known as focusing tubes or abrasive nozzles, guide the water-abrasive mixture after it leaves the mixing chamber. Bore size, tube length, wear resistance, and alignment are important factors affecting cutting stream consistency. Replacement tubes should be selected according to the cutting head design and required dimensions.
Waterjet Nozzle Clamp
Waterjet nozzle clamps help secure and position the mixing tube within compatible cutting head assemblies. Correct clamping dimensions and installation fit are important for maintaining stable tube positioning. Buyers should confirm the clamp type, reference part number, and cutting head model before ordering.
Waterjet Mixing Tube Protector
Mixing tube protectors are used in selected waterjet cutting head configurations to provide external protection around the nozzle assembly. Their dimensions and installation design must correspond to the intended equipment. KAD can review replacement requirements using reference parts, dimensions, or technical drawings.
