Non-ferrous metals

buntmetall-changedWaterjet 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 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
