Abrasive Water Jet Cutting

Abrasive water cutting is the same initial process as water only cutting, however once the pressurized jet has passed through the orifice, it enters a mixing chamber. This creates a vacuum, transferring controlled amounts of abrasive into the jet stream. The water and abrasive are realigned in a focusing tube giving a cutting tool of 1mm diameter. In this instance it is the abrasive, which is the cutting tool.

The abrasive water jet cutting process is capable

of profiling virtually any sheet or plate material,

ranging from aluminium to Titanium.

 

 

The benefits of Abrasive Water Cutting are:

 

  • Aluminium, stainless steel, brass cut with no tarnishing
    		•
  • Complex and intricate designs accommodated
    		•
  • Accommodates highly reflective and polished surfaces.
    		•
  • Ceramic floor and wall tiles cut to your design.
    		•
  • Granite, marble, slate and limestone designs also created
    		•
  • Laminates and composites cut with no delamination
    		•
  • No heat affected zones - HAZ.

    • Maximum Sheet size = 6000mm x 3000mm

    Maximum material thickness = 100mm*

    Programming accuracy = 0.01mm

    Profiling tolerance = +/- 0.2mm

    The Abrasive Water Jet Cutting methodThe initial system is the same as the Water Only process, however once the jet passes through the orifice it enters a mixing chamber. This creates a vacuum, transferring controlled amounts of abrasive into the jet stream. The water and abrasive mixture is realigned in a focusing tube giving a cutting width of 0.8/1.0mm.

    The abrasive water jet cutting process is capable of profiling virtually any sheet or plate material from Aluminium to Titanium.

    Gee Graphite has installed a variety of single and multi-head abrasive cutting machines capable of economically producing single prototypes to volume production batches.

    The kerf with an abrasive nozzle is normally 1mm diameter. The term kerf deviation is derived from the reduction in diameter through the thickness of the workpiece. The faster the material is cut the rougher the surface finish.

    There are two distinct cut qualities available, Separation Cut with a deviation up to 0.5mm through the thickness, Quality cut with a deviation of 0.1/0.2mm through the thickness.
