Abrasive Waterjet
Need a precise cutting machine for your manufacturing project? A CNC waterjet cutter offers you more control, scalability, and safety than other machine tools.
Waterjets, or waterjet cutters, are an industrial cutting tool capable of severing a large variety of materials, from wood to metal. They are able to accomplish this by creating a very high pressured “jet” of water, often mixed with another abrasive substance. When industrial materials need to be cut using a method that doesn’t involve heat, a waterjet is a great choice of machine tool.
Most industrial waterjets will be abrasive waterjets, meaning they use a mixture of water and an abrasive substance in order to better cut a material. A pure waterjet is a waterjet that doesn’t use an abrasive mixture and is generally used for purposes of cutting materials like wood or rubber.
Here at Accurl, our CNC abrasive waterjets are able to perform precise manufacturing cuts at scale. If you are looking to increase production with a high-quality machine tool, then Accurl has the solution.

Benefits of a Water Jet Cutter
There are essentially three types of automatic cutting machines. The shearing machine uses mechanical strength to shear metal and other materials. This machine is great for many applications, but tends not to be as great for precise cuts. There is the laser cutting machine, which uses heat generated by laser beams to melt and cut through materials. Finally, there are water jet cutters, which use pressure and water (and other liquids) to cut materials. Here are some of the benefits that using a waterjet cutter is associated with.
- Waterjet cutters can create precise, complex cuts in any material. Combined with specialized software and 3-D machining heads, even convoluted shapes can be manufactured.
- The kerf, meaning the width of a cut, on a waterjet can be adjusted easily by switching out the nozzle. For abrasive cuts, the kerf can be as narrow as 0.51mm. For non abrasive cuts, the kerf can go down to 0.076mm, which is the width of a human hair.
- Waterjet cutters have no heat-affected zone (HAZ), because they produce no heat. This means that they can cut materials without affecting their inherent chemical structure, allowing them to keep their intrinsic properties. Because of this, bevels, pierce holes, sharp corners, and shapes with minimal inner radii become possible with a waterjet.
- Waterjet cutters' amazing precision allows them to attain accuracy to the level of 0.13mm, and repeatability to the level of 0.025mm.
- Efficient use and design with a waterjet cutter can equate to less scrap metal produced during manufacturing, since uncut parts can be positioned more closely than with traditional cutting machines.
- Operators of waterjets are exposed to fewer hazardous materials from airborne dust particles, fumes, smoke, and other contaminants produced by other machine tools.
- Because waterjet technology has no contact medium (unless the water is recycled), it can actually be used in the meat cutting industry to avoid risk of cross-contamination.
Waterjet Process Characteristics
There are essentially five main process characteristics regarding waterjet cutting:
ONE
The first one is that a high-velocity stream of water (between 30,000-90,000 psi) is produced by a high-pressure pump, and will likely make use of abrasive particles suspended in the water.
TWO
Delicate, hard, and heat-sensitive materials can be cut without harming or changing their intrinsic properties.
THREE
No heat damage is caused on a workpiece surface or material edges.
FOUR
Nozzles are made of either sintered boride or composite tungsten carbide and can be switched to change the kerf.
FIVE
Cuts produce a taper of less than 1 degree, which can be further reduced or eliminated by slowing down the cutting process, or tilting the jet.

A modern approach to waterjet cutting.
Fast and accurate
Getting right cut angels while maximizing your feed rate is not as easy as it sounds. A water jet bends, grows, and changes behavior when you give it different parameters to work with. Our strength is to interpret the relationship between the jet and different parameters and turn them into powerful, easy-to-use functions for your convenience.
More parts, less time
Getting more parts out of a sheet while cutting it faster will make you more profitable. Here at Accurl, we think about these things when we develop new features. Our Auto nest has become the most efficient nest on the market, while common cut can nest parts closer together and make a combined cut between them instead of cutting parts individually.
Unparalleled 3D Manufacturing
When your competitors are selling your products, you know you’ve made something extraordinary. In this part of IGEMS CAD/CAM, you can program directly on 3D models, visualize every toolpath, simulate with crash control, and nest your parts. Simply, it’s a 3D environment with automatic and customizable CAM features for as many axes as you need. Contact us today!
