Applications of Waterjet machine:

 

Waterjet machine is widely used to cut metal, composite, marble, granite, ceramic tile, glass, cloth, food, and Low melting point and easy combustion material such as
paper, leather, rubber, nylon, wood, dynamite and so on.

1.       Metal: waterjet can cut thin or thick metal such as stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, aluminum, brass, etc.

Advantage: waterjet is cold cut equipment, no heat affected zone, good edge quality and small cutting gap (~ 1mm). Cutting thickness can be over 100 mm.
Waterjet can drill the starting hole without another drill.

2.       Composite material: Waterjet can cut composite (multiple layers) materials. 

Advantage: same setup for cutting different layers at the same time. No need to change tool, and

3.       Marble, granite, ceramic tile and Mosaics:

Waterjet can precisely cut stone products to produce inlaid medallion designs for building decoration, and counter tops as well as tile and mosaic designs.

4.       Glass: waterjet can easily piece and cut glass with good edge quality. The most beautiful part of waterjet is that waterjet is CNC controlled and it can quickly
setup and turn around a glass cut part. 

Advantage: arbitrary geometry cutting is one of the biggest advantages of the waterjet machine. It is very useful in cutting glass with holes and special design shapes.

5.       Rubber, nylon and other low melting point and easy combustion material:

Water jets are commonly used for custom gasket cutting, due to the machine is capable of fast setup and quick turn around. Waterjets cutting will not burn
the rubber due to cold cut and waterjets can easily and fast make arbitrate designs. Most time, it can cut rubber with water only.

6．Signage and art works

Signage and art works are often of small quality jobs, so waterjets are particularly useful due to its fast CNC setup and easy fixture.
