Components and advantages of waterjet cutting

Publish Time: 2022-06-17     Origin: Site

Waterjet cutting is a machine that uses high-pressure water to cut. Waterjet cutting has unique advantages compared with other processing methods such as flame cutting, plasma, laser, EDM, turning, milling and planning. At the same time, waterjet cutting does not produce harmful gases or liquids and does not generate heat on the surface of the workpiece, making it a truly versatile, efficient, cold cutting process. Next, let's take a look at the composition and advantages of waterjet cutting. Here are some answers.


Here is the content list:

  • Introduction to the composition of waterjet cutting.

  • The advantages of waterjet cutting in cutting.


Introduction to the composition of waterjet cutting.

Waterjet cutting consists of five main components: firstly, the high-pressure water jet pump is the core equipment for generating high-pressure water. Secondly, the CNC motion control platform, referred to as the machining platform, is equivalent to a large three-axis end mill, except that the table on which it puts the workpiece is a water tank, which is filled with water to ease the impulse of the high-pressure water jet. Thirdly, the abrasive depository and transfer system. Fourth, the cnc control system.  Lastly, the cooling system, which is used to cool the temperature of the hydraulic oil in the high pressure pump.


The advantages of waterjet cutting in cutting.

Water jet cutting is a cutting machine used for cutting metal and other hard materials. 5 axis water jet cutting has no chemical changes in the cutting process and has the advantages of no effect on the physical and chemical properties of the material to be cut, no thermal deformation, narrow cutting slits, high precision, clean cutting surface, clean and pollution-free, etc. It can process materials that cannot be processed by traditional processing and other processing methods or are difficult to process, such as glass, ceramics, composite materials, reflective materials, chemical fibers, heat-sensitive materials, etc.


Firstly, high pressure waterjet cutting of metals with a roughness of 1.6μ m and a cutting accuracy of ±0.10mm can be used for precision forming cutting. Second, no reflective effects and edge loss in the cutting of non-ferrous metals and stainless steel. Third, carbon fiber composites, metal composites, metal composites with different melting points, and non-metals are cut in one forming. Fourth, cutting of low melting point and flammable materials, such as paper, leather, rubber, nylon, felt, wood, explosives, and other materials. Fifth, special sites and environments for cutting, such as underwater, environments with combustible gases. Sixth, high hardness and insoluble materials cutting, such as stone, glass, ceramics, cemented carbide, diamond, etc.
