Waterjet

1. What are the benefits of purchasing a waterjet comparing CNC plasma or a laser ?
Versatility
Abrasive waterjet can cut almost anything – from metal to stone to glass to composites to ceramic.
Laser and plasma cut with heat, and so can only cut materials that have the right thermal properties. Metal is almost always the target material in industry for these heat-based processes. And mild steel is almost always the metal that is cut by them. In addition, plasma can only cut things that are electrically conductive. To optimize laser and plasma cutting, change to gasses is required. No change to water jet parameters, except speed, is usually required for any material.
Thickness
Waterjet can cut very thin and up to 150mm (sometimes more) of any metal, glass, stone, composite, etc.
Laser cuts very thin and up to 20mm.
Plasma cuts from about 25mm up to 30mm.
Edge finish
Nothing cut by a plasma or laser will be as high of quality of an edge as a waterjet. We leave behind a smooth edge. No heat affected zones or mechanical stresses are introduced. The plasma and laser cut with heat (we cut with supersonic erosion). Plasma and laser therefore will leave behind a heat affected zones, mechanical stresses, and especially with plasma, dross 'drips' on the edge.
Please contact us for more information of our waterjet.
2. What kind of material does your machine can cut?
There are plenty materials our waterjet can cut , such as metal stone glass foam plastic rubber, ect.
4-axis was professionally designed for marble pattern and medallion.
5-axis was professionally designed for 3D materials.
3. What's your machine's max.cutting thickness?
The max.cutting thickness of our waterjet depends on the materials you cut .
Generally speaking, the thickness of our waterjet can be up to 150mm, virtually Z constraint is the only limit to thickness.
4.What kinds of payment do you accept?
It depends on the region.
