What is CNC WaterJet Cutting Machine?
CNC WaterJet can cut almost any material, including ceramics, rubbers, plastics, laminates, glass, etc. Aluminium, copper and steel can be cut up to thickness of 200 mm. How? A series of high-pressure lines, pumps and intensifiers force a stream of filtered water through a tiny orifice in a jewel. The stream, which is pressurized up to 60,000 p.s.i., mixes with fine abrasive garnet in a tube to provide extraordinary cutting power. Motion-controlled machines transport the jet nozzles along programmed paths to cut complex profiles with positional tolerances of +/- 0.05mm -a fraction of the width of a human hair. Since the tool doesn’t contact the material and produces virtually no heat, distortion-free cutting is achieved in even the thinnest of materials. The abrasive Waterjet process never changes the metallurgy of any alloy. Abrasive Waterjet cutting eliminates stress and heat-affected zones to the material and never hardens metals or leaves re-cast layers, something the that other ma
