Frequently Asked Questions:
We have invested in 3 Waterjet Sweden machines, with bed sizes of 4m x 2m and 2.7m x 1.25m
One machine has 3 nozzle heads & the other two have 2 heads for maximising efficiency and reducing costs
Using a single nozzle – the maximum length cut is 3m.
Our Waterjets can cut any material with the exception of toughened glass.
The machines are capable of cutting up to 100mm thick stainless steel.
Depending on the thickness and type of material tolerances can be held up to 0.2mm
Waterjet cutting gives an excellent finish not usually requiring further machining. We have deburring equipment to remove any small burrs that may sometimes occur (depending on the material), giving you a burr free finished part.
As water jetting is a cold cutting process there is no heat damage or hardened edges. Additionally water jetting doesn’t create stresses in the material that can happen with laser cutting. We can also cut reflective material.
Laser cutting is limited to the size of thickness it can cut – giving water jetting an advantage.
