Cutting of workpiece by abrasion from a high-pressure water jet mixed with abrasive agents. Beskrivning The process Water under high pressure [1] of up to 4000 bar is focused through a nozzle [2]. Abrasive agents [3] are then supplied through the vacuum formed in the mixing chamber [4]. High pressure water jet charged with the abrasive agent then cut through the workpiece. The cutting head is positioned by means of a gantry system. Water mixed with debris is collected and filtered to partially reuse the abrasive agent. Gantry system A control commonly used for positioning a tool within the Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) Read more Abrasive fine water jet cutting 2D Process photos Process films Product examples English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for .English translation unavailable for . Advantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods Fast positioning, Easy setup due to low cutting forces No heat influence (No HAZ) No post processing required cuts all types of material Cuts stacked materials Cut both extremely thin and thick materials cuts hard and brittle materials
