    • This invention relates to apparatus and methods for z-axis control and collision detection and recovery for waterjet and abrasive-jet cutting systems. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a linear rail, a slide member coupleable to a cutting head and slideably coupled to the linear rail, at least one actuator having a first end coupled to the slide member and a second end fixed with respect to the linear rail, a position sensor, and a controller. The actuator provides an adjustable support force that supports the weight of the cutting head, allowing the cutting head to be controllably positioned at a desired height above the workpiece. The actuator may include a pneumatic cylinder, or alternately, a linear motor. In another aspect, an apparatus includes a first mount member coupleable to a controllably positionable mounting surface of the waterjet cutting system, a second mount member coupleable to the cutting head and disengageably coupled to the first mount member, and a sensing circuit having a plurality of first conductive elements disposed on the first mount member and a plurality of second conductive elements disposed on the second mount member. In the event of a collision between the cutting head and an obstruction, the second mount member disengages from the first mount member to prevent breakage of the cutting head. Following the collision, the second mount member is quickly and easily re-engaged with the first mount member without time-consuming re-calibration. In one embodiment, re-engagement of the second end first mount members is automatically performed by a biasing member.
    • 本发明涉及用于水射流和磨料喷射切割系统的z轴控制和碰撞检测和回收的装置和方法。 在一个实施例中,一种装置包括线性轨道,可耦合到切割头并且可滑动地联接到线性轨道的滑动构件,至少一个致动器,其具有联接到滑动构件的第一端和相对于线性轨道固定的第二端 导轨,位置传感器和控制器。 致动器提供可调节的支撑力,其支撑切割头的重量,允许切割头被可控地定位在工件上方的期望高度处。 致动器可以包括气缸,或者可以包括线性马达。 在另一方面,一种装置包括可连接到水刀切割系统的可控地定位的安装表面的第一安装构件,可耦合到切割头并且可分离地联接到第一安装构件的第二安装构件,以及具有多个 设置在第一安装构件上的第一导电元件和设置在第二安装构件上的多个第二导电元件。 在切割头和障碍物之间发生碰撞的情况下,第二安装构件与第一安装构件脱离,以防止切割头的断裂。 在碰撞之后,第二安装构件快速且容易地与第一安装构件重新接合,而不需要耗时的重新校准。 在一个实施例中,第二端部第一安装构件的再接合由偏置构件自动执行。
