Waterjet Cutting

MATERIAL TYPES

Metal, plastic, glass, wood, composites can be cut with a waterjet. Usually an abrasive like sand or garnet is mixed with water to produce an extremely powerful cutting tool that has ultra high pressure that can be used to cut even the most delicate and brittle material such as glass. Straight water is ideal for cutting softer materials such as foam, paper, or rubber.

 

IMPACT ON MATERIAL

There is no stress or heat affected zones to the material. Material can be up to 6 inches thick can be cut with no tool changes . Because there is no heat or chemical impact to material, material yields are greatly improved. Straight cuts, holes, curved corners and even contoured cutting are accomplished easily, with no programming needed. Features such as nesting and auto height sensing improve utilization of materials, as well as reducing operator time. 

ACCURACY

The waterjet is designed to deliver the highest possible accuracy: +/-.003" over full travel. Whether you are fabricating metal parts, cutting foam, or the thinnest composite material, a waterjet is the most versatile equipment to use.
