Waterjet cutting is a cutting process that uses water as the cutting material.
Water is pressurised (3800 bar) with a pump and taken through a fine nozzle. The resulting strong and even waterjet (100 m/s) can be used to cut rubber, plywood, plastic, leather and various floor coverings. Abrasive particles are added to the waterjet to cut stronger materials such as titanium, hardened steel, stainless steel, aluminium, glass, marble, ceramic tiles, granite and plastic.
By using the CNC controller of the machine, we can cut very complex details. This can help avoid subsequent turning, drilling and milling.
Water can be used to cut almost any material without subjecting it to thermal or chemical changes. Cutting with water does not heat the materials, so there are no harmful gases for the environment. Details are not deformed and smooth surfaces are not damaged. Waterjet diameter for different materials: 0.7…1.0 mm, providing considerable material savings.
