摘要： Abrasive materials for use in abrasive jet systems and associated materials, apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed. An abrasive material configured in accordance with a particular embodiment includes abrasive particles individually including an abrasive core and a fluid-repelling coating. The individual abrasive cores can be monolithic and have outer surfaces. The individual fluid-repelling coatings can include an amide wax and/or other suitable materials and can extend around at least about 95% of the outer surfaces of the corresponding abrasive cores. An average sieve diameter of the abrasive particles can be from about 5 microns to about 35 microns. A method for making abrasive materials in accordance with a particular embodiment includes introducing abrasive cores into a mixer, introducing particles of a non-liquid fluid-repelling material into the mixer, introducing an anti-clumping material into the mixer, and mixing the abrasive cores, the fluid-repelling material, and the anti-clumping material.

摘要： Waterjet systems including control valves and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. A waterjet system configured in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a fluid source, a jet outlet, and a fluid conveyance extending from the fluid source to the jet outlet. The system further includes a control valve positioned along the fluid conveyance downstream from the fluid source and upstream from the jet outlet. The fluid conveyance has a first portion upstream from the control valve and a second portion downstream from the control valve. The control valve is configured to controllably reduce a pressure of fluid within the second portion of the fluid conveyance relative to a pressure of fluid within the first portion of the fluid conveyance. The first portion of the fluid conveyance is configured to accommodate movement of the jet outlet relative to the fluid source.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to abrasive material delivery systems for liquid jet cutting systems. The abrasive material delivery systems can include a valve configured to adjust an inflow of abrasive material into the abrasive material delivery system from a source of abrasive material. The systems can include a chamber downstream of the valve and configured to receive the inflow of abrasive material from the valve. The systems can include a metering component configured to control an outflow of abrasive from the chamber to a cutting head of the liquid jet cutting system. In some embodiments, the systems include a sensor configured to monitor movement of a top surface of a portion of abrasive material within the chamber as the top surface moves through the chamber; and a processing device operably connected to the sensor and configured to determine an abrasive flow rate through the metering component based on a speed of the top surface as monitored by the sensor.

摘要： The presently disclosed technology relates to networked control of machine tools. An example system can use messages as means for transmitting intention and status in a networked control system. Illustratively, requests for actions or requests for measurements and status are passed across the network as messages rather than discrete signals. This can greatly ease machine expansion—new functions may be implemented by adding new messages on the network and adding new distributed controls to handle the new function hardware.
