The control shall be capable of automatically determining and adjusting the program to remove the taper based upon the speed of the cutting process and the geometry to be cut.

4.1.10.3 PRESSURE SOFTWARE LOCK: The system shall include a software feature that will allow the production supervisor to limit the maximum pressure of the cutting system unless an over-ride code is entered. This will allow the supervisor to prevent the system from operation above a set pressure (e.g. 55,000-psi) unless a code is entered to allow higher pressures. This feature will extend the time between scheduled maintenance operations while allowing the system to provide the higher cutting speeds when necessary to support delivery schedules.

4.1.10.4 ACCELERATION: The system shall automatically determine the optimum acceleration, speed and piercing parameters and adjust the program. This shall be based upon the material type, material thickness, pressure, abrasive flow rate, nozzle and mixer configurations, and the geometry to be cut.

4.1.10.5 Z-AXIS: The system shall be able to accommodate cast materials with variations in thickness. The program shall be written using a 3-D model. The system shall adjust speed and nozzle angle to maintain quality of cut.

4.1.10.6 HIGH PRESSURE BLEED-DOWN VALVE: The system shall include a safety feature to reduce the pressure to 0-psi in less than 1-sec in the event of pump shut-down or line breakage.

4.1.10.7 DIAGNOSTICS:

4.1.10.7.1 GARNET LEVEL DETECTION: The system shall have a method of automatically detecting the need for adding garnet abrasive to the system hopper. This shall provide a warning when the garnet level is less than the amount needed for 1-hr of cutting under the current cutting conditions. The system shall automatically shut-down the cutting process prior to running out of garnet. This will prevent the system from unintentionally operating without garnet and possibly damaging the work-piece.

4.1.10.7.2 COLLISION SENSOR: The system shall be equipped with a collision sensor to allow the system to avoid collisions which could damage the system and/or the work piece.

4.1.10.7.3 MATERIAL FLATNESS: The material to be cut will not necessarily be flat.

The system shall include a method of dynamically tracking the material crown and adjusting the z-axis position of the nozzle to maintain optimal cutting conditions and avoid contact with the material.
