Waterjet Cutting Machines
A waterjet cutting machine directs a concentrated high-pressure water stream along a controlled path. Abrasive waterjet systems add particles to cut hard materials, while pure-water systems serve other material classes.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Waterjet machines provide an efficient method of producing intricate components of machines with relative ease and precision. It facilitates versatile and effective machining, cutting, and shaping of metals and other materials. A waterjet machine uses a pump to eject water at an extremely high pressure through a nozzle to cut metals and other materials. These machines generate a lesser amount of heat compared to other cutting technologies and can, therefore, be used even on materials that are highly sensitive to high temperatures. Waterjet machines also help to ensure minimal wastage of the material being machined.
Pressure supply, nozzle alignment and abrasive delivery affect cutting power and consistency. Mixing-tube wear can change the jet and the resulting kerf.
Traverse speed and stand-off influence taper and surface striations. The process avoids the same thermal cutting mechanism as a laser, but still needs proper support and management of spent water and abrasive.
What turns activity into demand
Waterjet cutting couples a high-pressure jet with motion control, using abrasive when the material requires it.
The commercial boundary
Separate complete machines from pumps, cutting heads and abrasive consumables.
