Why waterjet cutting is ideal when working with metals
Cutting metals with waterjet is both accurate and fast.
Most of the time tolerances can be held to within .001’’ and thanks to CNC Technology you can cut perfect angles, radius, or straight lines with ease. Cutting power is generated the high-speed water stream and the garnet abrasive introduced to the water at the cutting head.
The stream travels faster than the speed of sound and pushes the sandy abrasive through materials. It’s highly effective, even for incredibly tough materials such as hard as Titanium, Ceramics, Tool Steel, Stainless Steel and more.
Using water and Garnet abrasive is also kind on the environment.
The combination of water and Garnet do not create hazardous derivatives or cutting process byproducts. The volume of waste of material is also smaller because of the waterjet stream has a very narrow cutting path.
The water can be completely recycled and re-used again by your cutting system simply by separating the garnet and the cut material from the water. People all around the world are becoming more aware of our environment and what they can do to help keep it safe. But recycling your wastewater not only helps protect the environment, it also reduces your operating costs.
Waterjet cutting is the best way to cut not just metals but nearly any other material.
