APPARATUS FOR CONDITIONING AN EDGE OF A SUBSTRATE USING A WATER JET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17948396 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONDITIONING AN EDGE OF A SUBSTRATE USING A WATER JET
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for conditioning the edge of a substrate using a water jet. The apparatus includes a nozzle connected to a connecting tube to receive a high-velocity water jet for cutting the substrate, with a deflector splitting the water jet into a cutting stream and an angled stream for conditioning the substrate edge.
- The apparatus includes a nozzle connected to a connecting tube to receive a high-velocity water jet.
- The water jet is used to cut the substrate, with the nozzle splitting it into a cutting stream and an angled stream for conditioning the substrate edge.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and automotive for precise cutting and conditioning of substrate edges.
Problems Solved
The apparatus solves the problem of efficiently and accurately conditioning the edge of a substrate using a water jet, reducing the need for manual labor and increasing productivity.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include precise edge conditioning, increased efficiency in substrate processing, and reduced manual labor costs.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Water Jet Edge Conditioning Technology for Substrate Processing"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing water jet cutting machines in the market, but the specific design of splitting the water jet for cutting and conditioning the substrate edge may be a novel feature in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to traditional methods of edge conditioning using water jets?
This technology offers a more precise and efficient way of conditioning substrate edges compared to traditional methods, potentially reducing processing time and costs.
What materials are suitable for conditioning using this technology?
The technology can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, but further testing may be needed to determine the optimal conditions for each material.
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses described herein relate to coniditioning an edge of a substrate using a water jet. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a nozzle connected on a receiving end with a connecting tube to receive a water jet that is a stream of water accelerated at a high velocity to generate a high pressure for cutting a substrate, where the water jet exits through the nozzle. The appartus further includes a deflector coupled to the nozzle, where the deflector splits the water jet into a cutting stream of water for cutting the substrate and an angled stream of water for conditioning an edge of the substrate.
