Water Jet Cutting
Discover the advantages of waterjet technology
Water jet cutting is a precise and efficient technique used in industries such as machinery and plant construction, road construction, recycling, metalworking, and manufacturing. It involves using a high-pressure stream of water to deliver clean and accurate cuts without heat damage to the material. To cut harder materials such as steel, aluminium or polyethylene, we add an abrasive material to the water jet. The system comprises a high-pressure pump, a cutting head with a nozzle, and a CNC controller, ensuring meticulous and consistent cuts. Its versatility spans across various materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites, making it an environmentally friendly method that produces no hazardous fumes or waste materials. Water jet cutting is highly efficient and preferred by manufacturers and engineers seeking reliable cutting solutions. Take advantage of the many benefits of waterjet technology and convince yourself of the expertise of our waterjet cutting team.
Advantages of water jet cutting technology
The advantages of waterjet cutting are evident in its versatility and efficiency. It can cut virtually any material, both soft materials such as foam rubber and hard materials such as steel, without heat-affected zones or mechanical stresses, making it ideal for precision cutting in industries such as aerospace and automotive. Additionally, it excels in producing clean and precise cuts with exceptional accuracy, even for intricate shapes and designs. Its environmentally friendly nature, with the potential for water recycling, underscores its sustainability. Moreover, water jet cutting is swift and efficient, minimizing production time and costs due to minimal setup requirements and no need for tool changes. Overall, its versatility, precision, eco-friendliness, and efficiency make water jet cutting a superior choice for manufacturers optimizing their cutting processes.
Water jet cutting with modern technology
With our state-of-the-art facilities and over 13 years of experience, we assure you of reliable and timely order processing. The advantages of cutting with water are evident: optimal material utilization, minimal mechanical stress on workpieces, extensive contour versatility, rapid production, the ability to produce prototypes or individual pieces, as well as small and large series.
Applications of water jet cutting include:
- clean and precise cuts even with large material thicknesses
- programmatically controlled cutting of complex contours
- cutting without thermal loading
- no post-processing of cut edges
- unlimited variety of forms
Since we use materials processed daily by our skilled technicians, we can also offer post-processing tasks such as grinding, chamfering, or bonding.
