Which are the waterjet cutting advantages?

  • Waterjet cut is cold, then unlike the most common cut such as plasma or laser, it does not overheat the cutting area and therefore it does not change the structural characteristics (very recommended for TITANIUM and  TANTALIUM)
  • Plates with very big thicknesses can be cut (our machine has cut thk. 160 mm in Superduplex)
  • This kind of cutting does not make burr or buckling as other "hot" cuttings do
  • Cutting surface, apart from thickness, is always almost "vertical"
  • Thanks to waterjet cutting one can obtain very smooth surfaces, very close in quality to surfaces worked with tool machine, as a result often one can save in mechanical working
  • Unlike other cutting methods one can save in material scrap, as cutting precision and small thickness (1 mm max) allow to exploit nearly  100 % plate surface.
