FLUID JET RECEIVING RECEPTACLES WITH RECEPTACLE COVERS AND RELATED FLUID JET CUTTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A cover device is provided for a jet receiving receptacle of a high- pressure 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.
