Waterjet cutting does not warp or alter the structure of the material being cut, as a laser, plasma cutter, or more traditional cutting tool sometimes does. It is also is capable of very fine and complicated shapes. Additionally, a waterjet’s precision cuts do not require sanding or grinding, and it produces no byproducts that might harm human operators or the environment — unlike laser cutting and plasma cutting. The water can also be recycled, reducing waste and cost while increasing energy efficiency.
Waterjet cutting is a method of cutting materials for industrial purposes such as machine component production by directing a high-pressure jet of water with an abrasive substance. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems run G-code to position the water jet nozzle and boost precision in modern water jet cutters. The ability to cut metals, plastics, foam, composites, and other materials without increasing the material surface temperature and compromising the internal structure of the material (no Heat Affected Zone, or HAZ); the ability to cut sharp corners, holes, and complex shapes with small inner radii; fast turnaround rates; and minimal material waste due to precise cutting and the narrowness of the nozzle are all important benefits of waterjet cutting with an abrasive substance.
Waterjet cutting is incredibly accurate. A kerf (cut thickness) can, for example, be as shallow as.042", with better cut part tolerances of up to +/- 0.005". Moreover, our waterjet machines cut up to four times quicker than traditional flat stock waterjet cutting machines, resulting in incredibly high manufacturing efficiency and lower costs. Our waterjet machines cut ordinary and exceptionally elaborate shapes with excellent precision, requiring little or no finishing.
Each project is unique, and we don't have a limit on size.
The capabilities of waterjet cutting are virtually limitless. Here at HSM Fabrication we primarily work with titanium, tungsten, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, as well as stone, wood, composites and various plastics. Ask us about your product – we’ll do a test cut.
