Advantages of Water jet Cutting

There are many reasons why water jet cutting is preferable over other cutting methods. Listed below are several advantages:

  • Water jet can provide extremely precise cutting through a broad spectrum of materials

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting Fast: several hundred feet per minute

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting Can cut in any direction

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting Can perforate without starting holes

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting No limit to shapes

  • In water jet cutting, there is no heat generated. This is especially useful for cutting tool steel and other metals where excessive heat may change the properties of the material:
  • Advantages of Water Jet Cutting No hardening, cracking or deformation

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting No burning or melting

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting Unlike laser cutting, no foaming of plastic materials

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting No cutting oil or emulsions required

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting No discoloration of materials

    Advantages of Water Jet Cutting Saves raw materials:
          - Material can be stacked or nested
          - Small kerf width dramatically reduces waste

  • Unlike machining, grinding, or laser cutting, water jet cutting does not produce any dust, fumes, or particles that are harmful
  • Water jet cutting can be easily used to produce prototype parts very efficiently. An operator can program the dimensions of the part into the control station and the water jet will cut the part out exactly as programmed. This is much faster and cheaper than drawing detailed prints of a part and then having a machinist cut the part out.
  • Water jet cutting can be easily automated for production use
  • Water jet cutting does not leave a burr or rough edge and eliminates other machining operations such as finish sanding and grinding
  • Water jets are much lighter than equivalent laser cutters. This reduces the problems of accelerating and decelerating the head(s), as well as taking less energy.
