Waterjet cutting is suitable for cutting metals that may be adversely affected by heat. This demand is particularly widespread in the aerospace and vehicle industries. Basically, waterjets can process greater metal thicknesses than lasers can, and they can cut more precisely than either plasma or flame jet procedures.
This cold-cutting process is also ideal in the manufacture of miniaturised components, thanks to the fine or micro waterjet technology now available. The need for delicate, highly functional workpieces of a variety of materials can be met by a positioning accuracy of 0.0025 mm, right down to the tolerance range of +/- 0.01 mm.
Advantages:
Material remains unchanged metallurgically
No heat-affected zones
No worrying smoke or vapours given off
Every alloy can be cut
Material
Material thickness
Aluminium
up to 400 mm
Example applications:
Vehicle manufacturing industry Assemblies of aluminium, inc. cast aluminium
Mechanical engineering and plant engineering Gears, castings, and assemblies
Materials research Material samples without any structural changes, conventional alloys that are difficult to machine, and new materials
Motorsport Assembly parts, trim parts, economical single-part production, rapid alterations, in high-tech materials too
