What is Waterjet Cutting?
 |
In the battle to reduce costs, engineering
and manufacturing departments are constantly on the lookout for an
edge. The waterjet process provides many unique capabilities and
advantages that can prove very effective in the cost battle.
Learning more about the waterjet technology will give you an
opportunity to put these cost-cutting capabilities to work.
Beyond cost cutting, the waterjet process is recognized as the most
versatile and fastest growing process in the world (per Frost &
Sullivan and the Market Intelligence Research Corporation).
Waterjets are used in high production applications across the globe.
They compliment other technologies such as milling, laser, EDM,
plasma and routers. No noxious gases or liquids are used in waterjet
cutting, and waterjets do not create hazardous materials or vapors.
No heat affected zones or mechanical stresses are left on a waterjet
cut surface. It is truly a versatile, productive, cold cutting
process.
The waterjet has shown that it can do things that other technologies
simply cannot. From cutting whisper thin details in stone, glass and
metals; to rapid hole drilling of titanium; to cutting of food, to
the killing of pathogens in beverages and dips, the waterjet has
proven itself unique. |
