Waterjet Cutting Process Basics
Water Jet cutting uses an ultra-high pressure stream of water to carry an abrasive grit. The abrasive does the cutting through a mechanical sawing action, leaving a smooth, precision cut surface.
How Does Automatic Height Control Work for Waterjet Cutting?
Automatic height control is absolutely necessary for fully automatic waterjet cutting.
How Does Waterjet Abrasive Feed Control Work?
Consistent flow of abrasive is a requirement for high quality waterjet cutting.
How much does waterjet cutting cost?
The cost to operate a waterjet is a common question, as people struggle to understand the difference between running a typical plasma cutting machine and a waterjet cutter. There are different consumables, different power requirements, cost of water, and most importantly, the cost of abrasive.
Why combine waterjet and plasma on the same machine?
Take a quick look at the advantages and disadvantages of each cutting process. You’ll see an interesting pattern emerge – everywhere waterjet is weak, plasma is strong, and vice-versa.
