CNC Abrasive Water Jet CuttingAbrasive water jet has the ability to offer flexibility and versatility in manufacturing and provides more cutting possibilities. Simply put, water jet is by far, the most flexible and desirable technology on the market today and delivers results with amazing reliability. In a comparison to other cutting methods verses water jet, findings are that due to the cold nature of water, heat affected zones are none existent. As the water jet is at a very cool temperature, hazardous gases from the materials being cut are eliminated there by significantly reducing the toxic risk to the CNC operators. These advantages cannot be claimed from other technologies
Micro structure of materials such as rubber and plastics remain unchanged after the water jet cutting process and the need to remove product from the edges for welding purposes are not required therefore savings on materials and time management are achieved. Similar savings can be made with materials such as stainless steel and aluminium as the water jet leaves the material free of burs and rough edges there for after cut requirements are eliminated. |
