Benefits from Waterjet Cutting Technology

Waterjet Cutting Technology: The Power of Water

Cutting with Water Jets is achieved by propelling water at speeds of up to 2000mph through a rigid, high pressure hose at pressures of up to 60,000PSI. Abrasive substances such as garnet can be added to the jet streams to erode away the target material and make the cutting technique more robust. Jet cutters can have no issues slicing though a wide variety of materials and are typically used for cutting or removal of materials and involved shapes. It can also be used for cutting sandwich structured items or a combination of various materials.

A high degree of accuracy creates a low tolerances of around 0.08mm, this can eliminates the need for secondary processes permitting manufacturers to finish projects in fewer steps using waterjet cutting. This can reduce completion time and production costs. With no chemical impact or high temperatures, material yields are vastly improved and thermal stresses are eliminated.

Available systems are automated using precision cutting control technologies. This reduces employee training time required and gives greater accuracy and reduced production time. There are no resulting environmental effects such as smoke or dust and most of the water used is recycled.

Innovative process and efficient production

Safe, clean and environmentally friendly, the Water jet cutting method generates no gases or vapours during cutting processes. There are no additional problems with reworking or a decrease in processing speeds which in turn improves the efficiency of the cutting method.

The abrasive cutting substances can be removed from the jets and most of the water used in the cutting method is recycled, leaving no adverse effects on the environment.

Extensive experience, exclusive developments

Water Jet Cutting is known to be the most effective method of profiling cut ceramic, marble, and granite. Multiple applications require flexible working from shopping centre to domestic installation. Unlimited designs and shapes can be created and many manufacturers and designers are beginning to fully exploit the potential of the waterjet cutting technique. From company logos and entrance motifs to extensive floor coverings and construction, waterjet cutting is ideal for all scales of installation and production.

New features that benefit fabricators, manufacturers, and many other industries using waterjet cutting are constantly being produced in innovative and unique ways making water jet cutting the only choice for modern and dynamic businesses moving into a new era of design and manufacture.
