Waterjet cutting

Waterjet cutting, commonly known as water cutting, is an advanced cutting technology used in industry in which a high-pressure water jet (often above 60,000 psi) is used to cut through various materials. The water jet can be pure or with an abrasive added to increase its cutting ability, even very hard materials such as titanium alloys with a thickness of 150 mm or more.

Waterjet cutting

The company’s waterjet cutting machine can cut a very wide range of materials:

  • foams,
  • sponges,
  • plastics,
  • rubber,
  • non-ferrous metals,
  • carbon steel,
  • stainless steel,
  • heat-resistant steel,
  • hardened steel.

Waterjet can also cut glass, stone, granite, marble, which are some of the hardest materials found in industry. The „waterjet cutting” method has many advantages, one of the most important is that the gap left after cutting is very small, less than 1 mm, which allows for cutting complex shapes and high quality of cut edges.

Other advantages of water cutting include:

  • no effect on the structure of the material,
  • material savings,
  • lower cost than cutting and processing using the traditional method.
