IMPACT BAFFLE FOR CONTROLLING HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID JETS AND METHODS OF CUTTING WITH FLUID JETS

摘要

An impact baffle for a jet cutting tool and a method to operate the baffle in conjunction with the jet cutting tool are described, the baffle including an impact layer and an laterally extended sensing layer to trigger a control signal for interrupting a cutting operation of the jet cutting tool after the impact layer is pierced by the jet cutting tool.
