Title:
FLUID JET CATCHING SYSTEM AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/160415
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A cover device is provided for a jet receiving receptacle of a highpressure fluid jet system to assist in receiving and in some instances, capturing, a fluid jet discharged from a nozzle of the fluid jet system after it acts on a workpiece. The cover device assists in preventing damage to a workpiece by deflecting a rebounding portion of the jet fluid away from the workpiece, and may also assist in reducing noise levels during workpiece processing operations. Fluid jet cutting systems incorporating a jet receiving receptacle with a receptacle cover and related methods are also provided. A capturing system including a material displacement device with a rebound surface to deflect a portion of rebounding contents of the fluid away from the workpiece is also proposed.
