Waterjet Cutting FAQs
What is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting is a precision cutting technique that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive substance, to cut a wide variety of materials. This method is renowned for its accuracy, versatility, and clean cuts.
What Are the Key Benefits of the Waterjet Sweden BevelJet 60?
The BevelJet 60 features a dual head system (3D and 2D) for simultaneous cutting at pressures up to 6200 bars. Its 125hp pump and adjustable pressure ensure rapid cutting speeds. The large cutting bed (4m x 8.5m) accommodates large-scale projects, significantly reducing production times.
How Does the Waterjet Sweden BevelJet 60 Enhance Waterjet Cutting Precision?
With the Waterjet Sweden BevelJet 60, we can achieve a top surface profiling tolerance of ±0.25mm and edge squareness of 1° draft angle, ensuring highly accurate and precise cuts for complex profiles.
What Materials Can Be Cut with Waterjet Cutting?
Our waterjet cutting service at Charles Day Steels can handle a diverse range of materials, including metals like mild and carbon steel, aluminium, glass, marble, and more. The versatility of waterjet cutting makes it suitable for numerous industries.
How Thick Can Materials Be for Waterjet Cutting?
The waterjet cutting process is capable of cutting through materials of various thicknesses, typically up to several inches thick, depending on the material type and the specifics of the cutting machine.
What Are the Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Compared to Laser Cutting?
Waterjet cutting does not generate heat, making it ideal for materials that are sensitive to high temperatures. It also allows for cutting thicker materials and can handle some materials that laser cutting cannot, such as certain composites and metals.
How Precise is Waterjet Cutting?
Our waterjet cutting services offer high precision; accurate to +/-0.25mm. This level of accuracy makes it suitable for intricate designs and precise cutting requirements.
