Jet Edge's iP60-50R water jet pump has two intensifier systems. If one of the intensifier systems should fail or require service, the second intensifier system can continue operations until the intensifier pump can be shut down for service. The iP60-50R produces 1.1 gpm of ultrahigh-pressure water for precision waterjet cutting, water blasting, cleaning and surface preparation applications. It supports orifices up to .015" (0.38mm). Like all Jet Edge waterjet pumps, the iP60-50R features Jet Edge's reliable tie-rod design. This design has no threaded cylinder, no threaded end caps and no threaded hydraulic cylinder, making it less prone to cracking than threaded designs. Matched-metal components prevent galling of hydraulic system components. Jet Edge waterjet pumps feature hydraulic accumulators, which reduce wear on the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic fluid also is cooled and filtered. Jet Edge waterjet pumps feature a rugged hydraulic center section which incorporates high-duty cycle-rated piston seal and wear rings. Jet Edge's hydraulic systems have a 4,000-hour warranty. According to the company, Jet Edge waterjet pumps also feature attenuators which smooth pressure fluctuations and deliver a constant and steady stream of ultrahigh-pressure water to the cutting tool, ensuring optimal cut quality.

- galling
galling
Condition whereby excessive friction between high spots results in localized welding with subsequent spalling and further roughening of the rubbing surface(s) of one or both of two mating parts.
- waterjet cutting
waterjet cutting
Fine, high-pressure (up to 50,000 psi or greater), high-velocity jet of water directed by a small nozzle to cut material. Velocity of the stream can exceed twice the speed of sound. Nozzle opening ranges from between 0.004" to 0.016" (0.l0mm to 0.41mm), producing a very narrow kerf. See AWJ, abrasive waterjet.
