What is a waterjet cutting machine

Waterjet cutting machine is a use of high-pressure water jet for cutting cold cutting equipment, mainly by the high-pressure pump, NC platform, waterjet cutting head, sand supply system, and cooling system.

Waterjet cutting is simply an accelerated erosion process within a selected material. Highly pressurized water is fired through a ruby or diamond nozzle into a mixing chamber. This pressure creates a vacuum and draws garnet sand into the stream which is fired at the object in place for cutting.

Waterjet cutters can cut through virtually any material. This is quite a unique benefit of waterjet cutting. Most of the other cutting methods apply to cutting only metals. However, waterjet cutting can cut through even wood, glass, or any other material.

 

Features
  1. Smooth cut, no rough and burred edges.
  2. Cutting with water and abrasive will not produce heat during cutting.
  3. No toxic gas will be produced during cutting.
  4. A nozzle can process different types of materials and shapes, saving cost and time.
  5. Reduce burr, cut with an abrasive sand waterjet cuting, and cut with less burr.
  6. Intelligent applications, work will be done by the machine.
  7. Combined with other equipment, it can be operated separately.
  8. Various cutting shapes can be completed.
  9. The horizontal and vertical force generated is very small.
  10. The drilling and cutting functions can be completed with the same machine.
  11. The workpiece can be cut at one time with good trimming quality.
How to choose a water jet cutting machine
  1. Cutting speed, usually the lower the cutting speed, the higher the cut quality produced by the water jet.
  2. Durability of the water jet, the lower the failure rate, the higher the durability of the water jet.
  3. The quality of the devices configured in the waterjet cuting, such as the high-pressure cylinder, accumulator, high-pressure plunger, one-way valve plug, high-pressure seal, one-way valve, and other components, will directly affect the failure rate of the water jet.

Now 80% of our customers are using 5 axis waterjet cutting machines. The size of this waterjet cutting table is 2500mmx1500mm. It is much smaller than a regular waterjet cutting system. That means it can occupy a small space and it’s easy to install. 

The cutting table adopts an Oil-Immersed structure to reduce the wear of the lead screw and the slider. It has a long service life, a full-protection structure, and better sealing. The use of stainless steel materials prevents metal corrosion. It is as new for ten years.
