Waterjet cutting equipment is based on the ultra high-pressure water jet application of cold cutting technology. Compare with thermal cutting (such as flame, plasma, laser, etc.), the "water jet" can cut almost all materials from soft to hard, especially in the more than 20 mm thickness of metal, carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum, honeycomb structure and complex material molding processing, it has become an internationally recognized the best processing method. Waterjet cutting machine has been widely used in processing steel, copper and aluminum materials, glass, ceramics, carbide, plastics, synthetic fibers, cloth, paper, composite materials and others, and can be directly made structure parts or welded components, thus waterjet cutting system has become a new manufacturing equipment in the aerospace, military industry, rail transportation, shipbuilding, automobiles, engineering machinery, light industry, chemical industry, energy, construction and other industries.
CNC waterjet cutting machine consists of five major components: UHP generator, CNC machine tools, automatic abrasive delivery system, CNC system, integral cutting head. The simplest waterjet cutting machine has two CNC axes, controlled by CNC control X-Y do CNC movement, and can achieve CAD / CAM direct conversion, truly free keyboard input, no map processing, as long as the CAD to draw any complex curves, can be directly cut to shape.
Under normal circumstances, be able to make use of laser, plasma, flame cutting, sawing, milling and other processing methods basically meet processing requirements, is unfavorable use waterjet cutting, after all, waterjet cutting operation cost is higher, the nozzle, guide sleeve, high pressure seals are imported supplies, more expensive. But when you can feel the laser and plasma cutting thickness is too thin, the burr is too big, the heat affected zone is not good, you can consider using water jet cutting.
