Component of Abrasive Jet Machining

EasyChair Preprint 7526

Abstract

AJM has become a very useful method for micro machining. It has enormous number of distinct advantages over the other non-traditional cutting and drilling methods, that include high machining versatility and minimum stresses on the substrate. This abrasive jet machining project is used for drilling holes on brittle materials like glass. Holes can be created in brittle material and glass with the usage compressed air and abrasive particles. A compressor used is connected through high pressure pipe to the control valve. Control valve controls the air through pipes to the nozzle. A pressure gauge is attached to measure the pressure through the pipes. Pressure relief valve is also used which is attached between control valve and nozzle which performs the cleaning of air that passes to the mixing chamber. Mixing chamber is used mix clean air with the abrasive particle at a high pressure. The abrasive particle can be introduced from the upper inlet of the mixing chamber. A nozzle is connected to the end of the mixing chamber where discharge takes place. Nozzle has the function of increasing the velocity of high pressurized discharged air that is mixed with the abrasive particle. This discharged air is impacted on the material which is held by the vice. Thus, the desired hole is obtained.

Keyphrases: Abrasive., Filters., Foot control valve., Gas supply., Holder., Nozzle., Pressure regulator., Workpiece.
