cnc water jet cutting cnc waterjet cutting machine for cutting steel – granite – plastic

Perfect Waterjet Cutting:


ACCURL® Water jet machining is achieved by forcing a large volume of water under high pressure through a small orifice in the cutting nozzle. The accelerated steam of water leaving the nozzle impacts the material and starts the cutting process. Kerf from the accelerated stream of water is extremely narrow. This pressure is then concentrated in a small area on the material which starts to erode the material. Softer materials can be cut with water pressure. Harder materials require the use of an abrasive feed system, such as metal cutting. The abrasive is introduced into the high pressure water stream, which then starts the erosion of the harder materials. Although waterjet machining is the slowest cutting process, there are definite advantages that outweigh its' pace:

•No Heat-Affected Zone
•No Mechanical Stresses
•Very Narrow Kerf
•No need for Secondary Operations
•Smooth Surface
•Can Cut Various Materials
•Can Process Extremely Detailed Parts
•Minimal loss of material
•Environmentally Friendly
