Working

The waterjet cutting machine belongs to the category of sheet metal machines.
A waterjet cutting machine is an industrial machine used for cutting a wide variety of materials by using a very high-pressure jet of water. Overall, the working of the machine consists of a projection of water at a very high speed (about 800 meters/second).
The water is first stocked in a very high-pressure pump (about 3000 bars), then transferred to an accumulator. Finally, the water is propelled through a nozzle into the material that needs to be cut.
Most of the time, the diameter of the waterjet is about 1mm. The waterjet machine can be used on many materials: metal, plastic, paper, textile, stone, leather, and others. However, a waterjet cutting tool doesn't work on toughened glass (this is one of the only materials where a cutting machine is ineffective).

The waterjet tool is complementary to laser cutting machines, since the water is able to cut through certain materials that laser machines can’t:
-Soft materials like copper.
- Highly reflective materials like aluminium and stainless steal.
- Heat-resistant materials such as food products, leather, and textiles.
And other materials

What are the main advantages of the waterjet machine?

The waterjet machine can be used on a lot of materials. That’s the main advantage of this machine. If a company works with a variety of materials, the waterjet machine is the appropriate tool. Additionally, the machine is very precise because of the very thin water jet. Contrary to the laser cutting machine, there is no deterioration of the product (for instance, heat in the case of the laser machine). Safety is optimal in the case of the water jet tool; there is no risk of steam burns or dust. Finally, a water jet tool can be integrated into a longer cutting process, for example, with other laser machines. However, due to the high pressure of the water, the machine is often quite noisy.
