The waterjet is revolutionizing what we re trying to do as a motorcycle builder.
Water jet cutting technology.
Because the abrasive is added at the nozzle it is simple to switch between water only and abrasive waterjet cutting.
It s much faster than machining it s faster than doing it by hand and it s fairly maintenance free.
The waterjet technology association wjta members include high pressure waterjet and industrial vacuum equipment users manufacturers distributors researchers regulators and consultants.
Anything you can draw you can cut out of steel and for us that s priceless.
Unlike abrasive waterjet cutting however only pure waterjet is used to cut paper and foods.
Because of this waterjets are unlimited in what they can cut.
We can handle prototypes short or long runs aerospace plastics signs and metals.
Waterjet technology is a cold cutting process which cuts by using supersonic water or water and abrasive to erode material.
Wjta is international in scope with corporate and individual members throughout the world.
Water jet cutting a technology on the rise october 2010 page 10 discovering the wide possibilities offered by the ability to produce exact holes.
Stone kitchen countertops can be cut to exact specifications and dimensions.
The waterjet software thinks ahead as parts are cut calculating optimal cutting path and contact angle of the jet to produce perfect geometry.
Provides cost effective precision water jet cutting of virtually any material including stainless steel hardened steel kevlar composites marble titanium rubber aluminum glass ceramics granite plastic fiberglass and more.
Water jet cutting technology has been used for several decades to perform paper cutting.
A stream of water is extremely concentrated and shot out of a nozzle at 30 000 90 000 psi.
The term abrasive jet refers specifically to the use of a mixture of water and abrasive to cut hard materials such as metal or granite while the terms pure waterjet and water only cutting refer to waterjet cutting without the use of added abrasives often used for softer materials.
Cutting technologies dynamic waterjet no longer remains stagnant at 90 degree angles to plane of a flat plate but tilts automatically as required depending on the material and part.
Waterjet cutter technology is based on the naturally erosive effects of water.
A waterjet utilizes a high pressure stream of water to erode a narrow line in the stock material.
In fact this process supersedes the development of the abrasive waterjet used to cut harder materials such as stone glass and metals.
A water jet cutter also known as a water jet or waterjet is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a very high pressure jet of water or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance.
