WATERJET CUTTING
WATERJET CUTTING
NOW AVAILABLE
ADVANTAGES OF WATERJET CUTTING:
-
No Material Limitations - Cutting nearly any material. With the addition of the granular abrasive, a waterjet cutting machine can perform quality cuts on materials up to 200mm thickness.
-
No Heat Affected Zones - A major advantage of waterjet cutting is that no heat affected zones occurs due to the cold cutting method.
-
No Material Distortion - Using the cold cutting method, the waterjet creates a fine cut without distortion in the material, resulting in a smooth burr-free cut.
-
No Additional finishing processes - The immediate high cutting quality ensures a precise result, avoiding additional finishing process and increasing overall efficiency.
-
No Hazardous waste - The growing importance of environmentally friendly processes are becoming more apparent in the engineering industry. A significant advantage of the waterjet cutting is that it does not create any hazardous waste in the form of fume and gases, unlike other cutting technologies.
