YC Waterjet's 5-axis cutter achieves breakthrough: 260mm-wide, 100mm-thick aluminum cut at 87° bevel, showcasing advanced cold-cutting tech.

On May 26th, a European client team visited YC Waterjet. Both sides discussed in-depth communication on the procurement of waterjet machines.

Waterjet cutting technology has revolutionized various industries by offering an efficient and versatile method for cutting a wide range of materials, from metals to glass, stone, and even food.

In the ever-evolving world of food processing, maintaining food quality, safety, and efficiency is of utmost importance. Traditional methods of slicing and cutting, such as knives, saws, and automated machines, can sometimes damage delicate food products, lead to inconsistent cuts, or result in excess waste.

Waterjet cutting has proven to be a transformative technology for the construction industry, enabling precise, eco-friendly, and dust-free cutting of various materials such as concrete, marble, granite, and more.

In today’s rapidly advancing world, industries like automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery manufacturing are constantly seeking ways to improve their processes, reduce production costs, and achieve higher levels of precision.

Waterjet cutting revolutionizes glass processing with cold-cutting precision (0.1mm), eliminating thermal stress/chips in laminated/optical glass while enabling complex shapes with eco-friendly operation.

Waterjets outperform lasers for thick stainless steel (25mm+) with cold-cutting precision (0.1mm), eliminating heat distortion while enabling complex geometries and stack cutting at lower costs than high-power lasers.

Waterjet systems comprise 5-core components: Hypertherm-powered high-pressure unit (380-420MPa), cutting platform, intelligent CNC, cooling systems, and 80-mesh garnet abrasive supply – where pressure, flow, and abrasive quality dictate efficiency.

Multi-head waterjets boost efficiency 8x with 2-8 synchronized cutting heads, excelling in mass production of rubber/auto parts and foam/leather processing for European markets.
