CRITICAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN: HOW TO CHARGE AN ACCUMULATOR
The Accumulator’s bladder is pressurized with nitrogen to about 30 – 40% of the pressure of the hydraulic circuit in which it is installed (its “precharge pressure”) and requires periodic charging to maintain its pressure.
CRITICAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN: WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE
Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, and Windows XP April 8, 2014. Your computer will still work, but your OS will no longer receive software and critical security updates from Microsoft which makes your cutting system more vulnerable to security threats with no technical support to fix them. Microsoft is strongly recommending users upgrade their cutting system OS to Windows 10.
RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL BULLETIN: PERMALIGN ARROW SL
The new Permalign Arrow SL eliminates the right angle inlet block currently used on the Permalign Edge AbrasiveJet.
RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL BULLETIN: HP END CAP ALIGNMENT TOOL
THIS IS A RECOMMENDED ALERT: When High Pressure End Caps are installed on your Jet Edge Intensifier Pump at the factory, great care is taken to align the High Pressure End Cap to the Hydraulic End Block. Failure to align the plunger and evenly torque the High Pressure End Cap causes the end cap to become misaligned. This misalignment leads to reduced High Pressure Seal life and much higher maintenance costs.
RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL BULLETIN: OMNIJET VALVE BODY ALIGNMENT
When the OmniJet Valve Body is installed into the mounting collar, proper alignment is required with the High Pressure inlet to ensure a good seal is made with the High Pressure fitting. Jet Edge has released a self-aligning Valve Body (PN 110607) and collar set that ensures alignment and sealing on the first attempt.
INFORMATIONAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN: ATTENUATOR UPGRADE KIT
Jet Edge has upgraded its standard on all new 2-quart (1.9 Liter) Attenuators, replacing the prior design. The new design directly seals the Head to the Body and eliminates the Seal wear component thus extending the service life of the Attenuator. The larger, 2-quart Attenuator is the same design as the 1-quart Attenuator but is longer to increase its capacity.
INFORMATIONAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN: ACCUMULATOR UPGRADE KIT
Jet Edge has upgraded its standard on all new 1 Quart Accumulators to SAE Standard rated threads, replacing previously used NPT threads, for an improved seal. The new SAE thread is not interchangeable with the NPT thread.
MAINTENANCE TRAINING CLASSES
Every Jet Edge water jet system includes unlimited lifetime hands-on training. Water jet training is free when taken at Jet Edge’s headquarters. You also can arrange to have training at your facility for a fee.
