Product Information
Water Jet Cutting is a process of machining utilising water & abrasives that are pressurised to create a ‘beam’ of fluid that will cut through almost any material. The water is pressurised at up to 4000 bar (60,000 psi) and then forced through a directional nozzle. Abrasives within the solution ensure that the cut is swift and smooth with minimal edge burring and no material deformation. We can use this process to cut any material from paper, rubber, foam right through to graphite, marble & ceramics.
Why Water Jet Cutting?
This technique has many benefits over traditional cutting methods. Here are the key benefits:
- No cutting tools required
- No material discolouration
- No heat distortion or discolouration
- No product burring
- Suitable for polished surfaces
- Cuts virtually any sheet material
- 3m x 1.5m cutting area
- Accuracy to 0.1mm
- Suitable for material up to 100mm thick
- Ideal for production of prototypes
- No second operation finishing required
- Suitable for long or short production runs
- Tight radii cuts achieved accurately & reliably
- Suitable for complex 2D or even 3D shapes
- Cost savings achieved through nesting of same or different components
