Product Capabilities: · 690 Bar operating pressure is two to three times higher than that of competing systems, enabling faster cutting of thicker and harder materials · Low force or vibration is ideal for cutting operations requiring the least risk of disturbance of target · Cold cutting technique generates no heat, permitting effective use in flammable or explosive environments · 3-4 axis manipulation system allows cutting of pre-determined shapes and subsequent entry into a device · Uses less water during operation to reduce logistic demands and eliminate fouling of the target area · Specifically designed to work in harsh environments as defined in UK defence standard 00-35, including operation in hot and cold climates and up to three metres of seawater. All units have a fully weatherproofed design · Rugged intuitive interface and control system provides advanced functionality with low user work load · The system can be easily transported and deployed from a range of vehicles. An optional load base pallet increases this inherent flexibility while also offering a convenient storage solution, enabling deployment from a forklift truck, crane or helicopter · An electronic manipulation system significantly reduces the logistic burden, eliminating the need for ancillary systems or cumbersome hydraulic/pneumatic hoses · All key system elements are easily accessible for simple maintenance procedures · The environmentally friendly system does not use hazardous liquids, creating no noxious gases or dust Product Specifications · 6Kw diesel engine with 12v electric key start · 690bar operating pressure: 42 litre water header tank, 5 litres per minute · 12 litre mixing/storage vessel · 20 micron filter system · Operating temperature 0°C - 53°C as standard. Operation in -10°C can be achieved by using a saline solution in place of fresh water
