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 allow them to attain accuracy to the level of 0.13mm, and repeatability to the
  level of 0.025mm.
• Efficient use and design with a watercutter 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.
