Waterjet Cutting Applications
Ultra high-pressure waterjet precision cutting uses a high-speed water stream that carries great kinetic energy along with an abrasive substance. Compared to other high-energy beam processing methods, such as laser, ionic, or electron beam, ultra high-pressure waterjet is the only cold cutting technology. This technology is virtually a revolution in the cutting industry.
Currently waterjet cutting is mainly used in the following areas.
Waterjet Cutting Application in metallic material cutting
1) Cut metallic materials, such as stainless steel, for architectural decoration
2) Manufacturing equipments crust
2) Cutting a variety of metallic machine parts
Waterjet cutting technology offers many unique advantages over other cutting methods:
" No thermal or chemical deformation
" Excellent edge quality
" Elimination of secondary processing
" Clean process with no toxic fumes or airborne dust
" Environmentally benevolent
" Fast with precision
" Less material waste
" No secondary removal of slag needed and minimal to no burring is seen
Waterjet cutting is widely used in the modern manufacturing industry, especially in plant engineering and in the manufacturing field. It has greatly improved production efficiency and quality.
Waterjet Cutting Applications in Glass Cutting
1) Glass component for household electrical appliances
2) For bathroom applications, including ceramics
3) For architectural glass decoration
4) For craftwork with glass materials
5) For automobile windows and display materials
It is a highly suitable and fairly unique application of waterjet technology to cut glass into complex shapes.
It offers you the capability of word character cutting and pierced patterns with glass materials. The revolution of waterjet technology makes it possible to fabricate glass into large screen, curtain wall, and a variety of electrical appliance panels and glass wares.
Processing tiles, stones and other building materials was one of the first and still a very common application for waterjet cutting.
It delivers an momentous progress for further processing tiles. This waterjet cutting application is mainly used to make all kinds of complex tile or marble designs and inlays. It liberated manufactures from traditional methods of manual cutting and grinding. Currently, waterjet cutting is being considered the best method in tile cutting, largely due to improved production efficiency and processing precision. For this reason, waterjet technique is now widely adopted by many customers across different continents. Today, tile and stone products made by machinery from A&V Waterjet Tech are distributed worldwide.
Waterjet cutting applications in composites, bulletproof material, soft material and other materials
1) Cutting automotive interior components with robotic arm
2) Cutting foam, sponge, paper, rubber, etc.
3) Cutting nylon, and carpet types of materials
It is one of the latest processing methods to use a waterjet to cut soft materials, like rubber, plastic, and carpet, just to name a few. It complements traditional processing methods, and it has the potential of improving processing efficiency, and accuracy with reduced costs.
