Water jet cutting is a separation method for almost all materials. Here, a focused jet of water at high pressure is shot (3,600 bar) from a nozzle onto the material to be cut. To improve the cutting performance of the water an abrasive medium (garnet) is added. The beam thus acts as a thin blade, but without heating the cutting edge. The course of the sectional contour is determined by the latest CNC control. Waterjet cutting is therefore an extremely versatile environmentally friendly cold cutting process.
It can be easily cut materials such as the following:
Metal and metal alloys
for example, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass
Composite and Structural Materials
for example, aluminum composites, laminates, fiberglass
Glass, stone, ceramic
eg glass, wired glass, laminated and bullet-proof glass, marble, granite, ceramics, tiles
Natural materials
as natural and laminated wood, cork, leather, rubber
Plastics
for example, fiber reinforced plastics, acrylic glass, foams
