The principle of waterjet technology and its advantages analysis

Principle of Waterjet

While waterjet technology may seem simple, it is extremely complicated. When forced through the small opening to raise the water pressure to 55,000 PSI, it can cut various soft materials, such as food, paper, baby diapers, rubber and foam. When a small amount of sand is inserted in the water jet, such as garnet sand, the sanding water jet can cut any hard material, such as steel, compound, stone and glass. It can also add power to the UHP water flow to complete various surface cleaning applications, such as cleaning ships and car painting equipment, etc.

Waterjet advantages

UHP (UHP) technology has become the world's fastest-growing machine tool technology for its acclaimed power, speed and versatility.

Manufacturers have achieved higher efficiency and stronger production capacity after applying ultra-high pressure water jets to their production. Nowadays, water jets can quickly and accurately cut all kinds of materials from food and paper to composite materials, steel and even rare metals.

Using waterjet technology you can feel:

Strong cutting ability

Easily cut almost any material to meet various applications

Cold working method, no thermal effect, no mechanical deformation

In just one step, you can cut materials with thickness from 1/16in(1mm) to 8in(200mm) into any shape

Pure water jet can quickly cut various soft materials, such as rubber, cork, foam, etc.

It only takes less than two minutes to switch from pure water jet mode to sand water jet mode

The sanding water jet can cut various hard materials, such as metal, stone, plastic, composite material, glass and stone, etc., and the cutting edge quality is good

Reduce material and production costs

Minimal fixture and machining requirements

The cutting is precise and the edges are neat, which can meet the requirements of tight typesetting. Reduce waste while increasing profit and productivity

Green Technology, Complementary Process

Water jet can be used as other cutting methods in production, such as complementary technologies of wire cutting, laser, milling and plasma

Although every workshop has its own unique cutting process requirements, most of them will find that the waterjet has not only increased their production capacity, but also increased their profits.

Water jet cutting has no dust, no toxic gas and other gas impurities, and no toxic substances will be produced.
