What does water jet cutting involve?
Water cutting (also called water jet cutting) is a process that is used to cut shapes in metal. This is done using a precise, high-pressure jet stream of water. It’s an ‘old technology’ in comparison with laser cutting, for example. However, it still has a surprise number of advantages. The high water pressure combined with the addition of an abrasive sand make it possible to cut thicker materials. Water cutting can be used to process a number of types of material besides metal too. For example, plastic, glass and rubber.
Dumaco is a one stop shop for all your sheet metal processing
As a customer, you want three things: the right quality and price and fast delivery. Dumaco’s extensive machine pool enables it to offer the full range of processing techniques. These range from milling and welding to post-processing techniques like powder coating and shot peening. Easy and efficient.
The advantages of water cutting:
No heat input: the tension in the base material is released |
Suitable for every type of material |
Bevel-cutting possible |
High precision in comparison with oxy-fuel and plasma cutting |
Smaller holes possible in thicker material |
Possibility to cut thicker material than using laser processing technique |
Water cutting
Quality guaranteed by Dumaco
Dumaco has three Resato machines, each with two cutting heads, for water jet cutting. Add our experts into the equation and quality is guaranteed.
The advantages of Resato ACM:
- Able to cut two identical products synchronously: this reduces production time and costs
- The cutting head can be tilted up to an angle of 55° (the practical limit when cutting a 45° bevel angle at a 90° contour angle)
- Able to cut virtually any type of material (of any thickness)
- It’s possible to create holes in existing products in most cases
