Water Jet Cutting Machine

A water jet cutter, also known as a water jet or waterjet, is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using an extremely high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance, such as metal, stone or glass,machine equipment shell, metal parts.

Waterjet cutting is often used during the fabrication of machine parts. It is the preferred method when the materials being cut are sensitive to the high temperatures generated by other methods; examples of such materials include plastic and aluminium. Waterjet cutting is used in various industries, including mining and aerospace, for cutting, shaping, and reaming.

Waterjet Cutting Main Applications Industry: 

  1. Processing of building materials such as ceramics and stone.

  2. Glass products processing, such as cutting of glass parts in home appliances, architectural decoration, craft glass

  3. Water jet cutting of sheet metal and metal parts in the machinery industry.

  4. Signs and artistic pattern cutting in the advertising industry

Waterjet Cutting Machine

A water jet cutting machine is an advanced industrial tool used for precise cutting of a wide range of materials. It employs a high-pressure stream of water, often combined with abrasive materials, to cut through materials with exceptional accuracy and efficiency.Its ability to produce intricate designs with minimal heat generation makes it an indispensable tool in modern industrial processes, contributing to enhanced productivity and quality in manufacturing operations.

The 5 axis CNC water jet cutter machine adopts AC design, which can realize the x, y, z, a, c axis linkage, which greatly improves the cutting accuracy of the water jet cutting machine. This CNC water jet machine can be used on a three-axis platform Realize the plane and 3D cutting of the workpiece.Meanwhile this AC five-axis water jet glass cutting machine can easily solve the problems of arc plate cutting, cylindrical cutting, conical cutting, spiral blade cutting, etc. And after cutting, the cutting surface is neat and smooth, and will not damage the object being cut during the cutting process.

Advanced Laser & Waterjet Cutting

  • Gantry design lathe bed, solid and stable, with a higher strength;

  • X/Y/Z axis adopts the new labyrinth protection to prevent double professional waterproof protection;

  • X/Y axis adopt high quality LINDEN, Sweden and Taiwan silver guide rail, heavy support, guarantee the parts machining precision, stable and durable, Z axis fully enclosed design of lifting mechanism of backwash in the cutting process of sand and water erosion can’t lead screw and guide rail;

  • Adopt Japanese valley centralized lubrication system, make the equipment maintenance automation;

  • Internal components choose schneider international brand, quality, reliable operation;

  • Use dimensional macro WEIHONG water cutting control system for special purpose, simple easy to operate;

  • International famous brands and yaskawa servo motor, reliable quality, long service life.

5 Axis Water Jet Cutting Machine

A 5-axis cutting head can be used to cut 4-axis parts, where the bottom surface geometries are shifted a certain amount to produce the appropriate angle and the Z-axis remains at one height. This can be useful for applications like weld preparation where a bevel angle needs to be cut on all sides of a part that will later be welded, or for taper compensation purposes where the kerf angle is transferred to the waste material – thus eliminating the taper commonly found on water jet-cut parts. A 5-axis head can cut parts where the Z-axis is also moving along with all the other axes. This full 5-axis cutting could be used for cutting contours on various surfaces of formed parts.
