Technology
The water jet cutting is a high pressure cut made with a mixture of water and
abrasive sand. A special pump pushes a very thin waterjet at a pressure of 3800 bar.
The water, ejected through a calibrate orifice, accelerates the abrasive
particles to three times the speed of sound; these ones are mixed with water in
a focalizing tube.
Flexibility
The jet of water and abrasive, coming out from
the machine at a very high pressure and speed, can make any kind of cut,
shaping and perforation, on any type of material and design, with a high
precision and without thermal or mechanical alterations.
Innovation
The idrojet cut can counter the difficulties and the limitations typical of
other techniques of metal cutting and shaping (laser cutting, plasma cutting,
milling, punching, etc.).
Materials
Materials | Copper - Brass - Aluminium - Bronze
- Titanium - Stainless steel - Inconel - Hastelloy - Hardox - and other alloys
of any type and hardness, can be quickly worked, without mechanical or physical
alterations and without the necessity of further surface treatments.
Precision
The cut is very
precise and has a tolerance lower than 0,05 mm/m.
Quickness
The execution time is particularly
fast. The maximum cut speed is 30 m/min.
Integrity
The waterjet cut does
not cause chemical or structural alterations or micro cracks
Thickness
We can cut materials whose
thickness may vary from a few mm up to 200 mm.
Saving
The cut is so planned as to
use as much material as possible. Thanks to the reduction of the scraps
and the elimination of the surface treatments, we have been able to hold
the production costs down.
We can briefly say We can briefly say that waterjet cutting allows:
- Wide range of workable materials.
- High quality cut without any thermal or
mechanical alteration.
- Optimization of further working processes.
To
obtain an estimate indicate:
1) type and quality of material, thickness
and size of the waterjet plates.
2) Requested quantity and kind of
perforation.
4) Tollerance and type of finishing of finishing
of the sheets
3) Drawing in DWG file if available.
