What Is Water Jet Machining?
Water Jet machining is a computerized cutting method technology that will cut virtually any material into any two dimensional shape. In many cases, WaterJet is also
used for minor 3 dimensional machining such as chamfer contouring. Material cutting includes metallic materials such as hard steel, aluminum, and titanium. Exotics
include graphite and ceramic composites. Architectural materials include marble, granite, glass, porcelain, ceramic, linoleum, vinyl, wood, and rubber. Water Jet
cutting is a clean process that does not result in tool path heating or residual stress in the cut materials. Water jet cutting is much faster than wire EDM and does
not leave a "heat affected zone"(HAZ) like laser or plasma cutting.
Why use a Water jet to cut your Material?
- Lower Cost
- Fast Turn Around
- High Accuracy
- No Heat Buildup
- Less Waste
- Better Cuts
- Able to Cut Multi layers up to 3 inches
- No Minimum
Water Jet - Benefits
- The cold-cutting process ensures distortion-free cutting of any materials, without thermal stress at the cut edges and without alteration of the material
structure.
- Allows cutting of any type of contours, and the cut can be restarted at any contour.
- There is never any direct contact pressure applied on the part. Despite the high kinetic energy, there are no material deformations, and a high cut precision
without fraying or burrs is always guaranteed. The part surface is never disturbed.
- The super-fine jet produces extremely precise cuts. Both filigree patterns and complex contours can be cut.
- Problem materials like plastic coated sheet metal, aluminum, copper, and stainless steels can be cut without any hassles and utmost precision.
- The very small kerf width allows optimum material utilization and seamless nesting. Raw material resources are preserved and material costs are reduced.
- This clean cutting process is especially environment friendly, since it generates no cutting or grinding dust, no chips, and no toxic fumes.
- Costs are reduced due to cost-effective single-part and prototype manufacturing.
- Even the programming is cost-effective, since a direct import of most file formats are possible.
