Mathematical Model for the Calculation of Linear Speed for a Water Jet Cutting Machine

Abstract:

This article is about creating a mathematical model for the calculation of linear speed, of a water jet machine, depending on the thickness of the material, the water pressure, the abrasive rate flow and the required cut quality, in order to justify the cutting costs of a water jet machine that are directly proportional with the necessary cutting time. Finding the cutting speed, it can be find the necessary time for the cutting, and so, the resulting costs for the process. The optimization of the process, after some minimize and maximize criteria is also presented in this article.
