CNC Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting is a computerized cutting

process using a stream of pressurizedwater passing through a tiny


2/14

In some cases the stream is assisted by abrasivematerial. This method is nown as abrasive waterjetcutting. The abrasive stream is much more powerful thanpure waterjet and is used to cut hard materials! such as

metals. Waterjet cutting can create thin details and almost any

shape. "s there is no heat generated during waterjetcutting! the part being cut does not undergo distortion.#igh cutting accuracy is achieved without leaving any

frayed edges or burrs. Therefore! edge $uality is goodand the need for secondary finishing processes isusually

Waterjet cutting has several advantages over other two%dimensional cutting methods&

Cuts almost any material

Cuts comple' patterns without tooling

Cuts without edge burrs

(enerates no heat so the material edge is unaffected

Cuts a sandwich of different materials

Cuts materials as thin as .))*+

Cuts materials up to ,+ thic

-ields no poisonous gas when cutting plastics or rubber

" waterjet cutting system includes a

computer system to control the nozzle

direction and speed! a high%pressure

water pump! and an %- Table to move the

nozzle! and the abrasive jet nozzle to

deliver the high%pressure stream.

Waterjet Types Pure waterjet cutting& /ure waterjet cutting is

used to cut softer material for e'amplecardboard! corrugated board! leather!te'tiles! cellulose and fibre plastics.

Abrasive waterjet cutting& "brasive waterjetcutting is used for cutting harder materials suchas 0etals! (lass! 1tone! Tiles! Ceramics! high%

1trength and difficult to cut alloys! Compositematerials and 2rganic materials. Waterjet cutting is used in almost every industry.
