Water Only cutting works by producing a high velocity fluid jet, at pressures up to 3200 bar, at the work piece the jet is travelling at twice the speed of sound.
The jet is focused through a sapphire or diamond orifice, the size of which is dependant on the material being cut.
Typical jet sizes rang from 0.1mm to 0.25mm diameter.
| The benefits of Water Only cutting are: |
| Creative designs cut without discolouration to cut edge. |
| Larger designs can be cut in sections. |
| In-house design service taken from your artwork or computer file. |
| Gasket and insulation materials profiled without tooling costs. |
| Thick foam and rubber cut with parallels sides. |
| Prototypes to batch production quantities easily accommodated. |
| Pre-printed materials cut to minute intricacy. |
| Flexible materials supported on a sacrificial base to ensure accurate cutting. |
