Waterjet cutting is a process by which a range of materials are cut using a powerful jet stream of either pure water, or water mixed with an abrasive substance. Waterjet cutting is commonly used in manufacturing, primarily in industries such as automotive, aerospace, defence & military, food – the list goes on!
No Heat Affected Zones
If you’re after a clean cut, with no heat affected zones or hardening, then a waterjet cutting machine is definitely the right choice for you.
Complex Directional Capabilities
The waterjet cutting machine has the ability to cut in many different directions, perfect for complex or intricate designs.
Flexible Machine Integration
If you want to involve more than one machine in the cutting process, it’s easy to do so with waterjet cutting machines. They have integration flexibility, meaning they can easily be hooked up to other machines involved in the manufacturing process.
Saves Raw Materials
With its built-in nesting capabilities and a small cutting kerf width, the waterjet machine does not waste raw materials as with traditional laser cutting machines. If you would like to maximise your stock materials, consider investing in a waterjet!
