Waterjet Cutting Methodology

Tolerances
Tolerances of +/-0.1 mm to+/-0.3mm can be realized in metal cutting depending on thickness and length of profile. 

Surface Finish
Materials cut by abrasive waterjet have a smooth, satin-like finish, similar to a fine sandblasted finish.

Thickness
With our highly powerfull cutting system, We can cut SS,INCONEL like hardest of metals upto 150mm and can cut nylons upto 250mm.

List of Materials we can cut but not limited:
Exotic Metals - Titanium, Tantalum, Molybdenum, Niobium, Rhenium, Inconel, Inver, Nilo 36, Cobalt-Nickel alloys.
Ferrous -StainlessSteel, Carbon Steels, Steel alloys, Hastalloy, Monel, Nickel-Chromium Tool Steels, Heat Treated Hardened Steel.
Non-Ferrous-Aluminium, Brass, Bronze, Copper ,Silver Copper.
Plastics-Acrylic, Delrin Nylon, HDPE, PVC, Teflon, Plexiglass, Polyethylen,e Polycarbonate, Thermoplastics, Fibre-glass, Carbon Fiber, Graphite.
Composites -ABS, Kevlar, Syndanio.
Rubber-Buna-N, EPDM, Neoprene, Poron, Urethane ,SantoPrene, Silicone, Vinyl, Nitrile, Viton, Butyl.
Misc-Wood, Glass, Foam, Mylar Laminates, Printed Circuit Board,Ceramic Tiles,Vitrified Tiles, Granite inlays, Marble inlays.

• Cost effective as it saves on costly Jigs and fixture support  to hold the work piece

• All kind of delicate & frail material parts and parts with longer length to width proportions can be cut with accuracy & ease.

• No need drilling starter holes thus ensuring cost effectiveness

• No chipping of corners.

• All parts that require any subsequent processing are easier to machine & finish.

• Quick Process –Highly quick response from concept to part production thus higher production efficiency

• Minimum hole size of 2.5mm diameter.

• Easily cut random contours, fine tabs and filigree structures.

• No heavy burrs are produced

• No Thermal damage: Abrasive waterjet cutting is essentially a cold cutting process. The work piece are not heat-stressed, has no heat-affected Zones (HAZ) or structural changes that can adversely affect metallurgic properties in materials being cut . The cold cutting process also allows cutting materials with low melting points and even soft materials like synthetic foam. The abrasive erosion process allows cutting even heat treated hardened metals, ceramics, carbides, composites,  with precision and smooth edges.
• The water jet cutting force is directed on top of the work piece. As a result there is low side –to –side cutting force. This offers the following advantages:
• No vibration on the parts to be machined.
• Saves on costly Jigs and fixtures  or work holding devices to hold the work piece.
• Frail parts and parts with a long length to width ratio can be cut with relative ease.
• Eliminates the need and cost of drilling starter holes.
• Eliminates the possibility of chipping of corners.
• Brittle materials can be cut

• Those parts which do require further processing are easier to machine and finish.

• Quick parts –From Concept to part production, the short turnaround time also offers many advantages like saving on shifting materials for secondary operations.
• Minimum hole size of 2.5mm diameter. Possible to cut random contours, very fine tabs and filigree structures.
• No heavy burrs are produced by the abrasive waterjet. Parts can often be used directly without de-burring.

Waterjet can produce a quality part without expensive and long lead time tooling. There is nothing that has to be corrected or cleaned before the part is used. Since the design for the part goes directly from the CAD system to the waterjet cutter, the design cycle is short and changes can be made quickly.All this mean lower cost and better service. We have the capability to turn your drawings or ideas into finished parts rapidly. We can cut almost any material into complicated shapes, so you can set your designer capabilities free.

Complement existing tools in primary or secondary operations.
 

Our Water Jet Cutting can also work with your other machine tools to take advantage of the unique capabilities of each. For example,You can have precisely pre/rough cut parts from nested layout on our waterjet m/c to maximize material usage, and then perform final machining to remove the least amount of stock /to maintain much more precision on a mill or machining centre at your end. By doing so you can utilize your costly machins productively for finishing operation only and turn out more parts.
