What is Waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting is a process that uses high-pressure water, generally with abrasive particles, to cut through various materials such as metals, plastics, and stones. Abrasive particles are added to the water stream to increase its cutting force for hard materials. It is used in aerospace, naval, automotive, ceramics, and textile.
Waterjet cutting can cut tubes and bent sheet metal components to clean edges and add holes.
Waterjet cuts are perpendicular to the sheet surface and can't add draft or threads.
What are the benefits of using waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting offers more advantages over the traditional cutting process:
• More precision: Accuracy is around ±0.004in (±0.1mm), while in conventional methods, it is about 0.04in(±1mm)
• Clean: Cuts with no burrs or double edges
• Faster manufacturing: Since it is controlled via a computer
Even over laser cutting waterjet offers:
• Cold cutting, the material will not be affected by heat
• No pollution since it doesn't use cutting gases
• Greater thickness can be cut using waterjet cutting than laser cutting
Using abrasive, waterjet cutting machines can cut through ferrous and non-ferrous rigid materials such as metals, ceramics, marbles, and tempered glass. And without any abrasive for materials such as plastics, fiberglass, and cardboard. Waterjet can cut through different thicknesses. It is used to cut simple or complex shapes with ease and an accuracy of 0.1mm, while traditional cutting processes' accuracy is about ±1mm. It is an efficient and low labor cost process.
