Waterjet cutting ch

Waterjet cutting is a machining process. Hydraulic pressure intensifiers or mechanical high-pressure pumps bring the water
to a pressure of more than 5000 bar. This water jet does the cutting. Here, it can move several times faster than the speed of
sound. Bystronic offers two procedures: pure water cutting and cutting with abrasive.

Many applications in all industries

st

A waterjet cutting machine cuts any material that is softer

than the cutting medium – even bullet resistant glass and
By

marble. The procedure is also flexible with respect to mate-

rial thickness: it can cut 0.01 millimeter-thin plastic films and
20-centimeter-thick titanium plates. Thanks to this versatility,
users can make nearly anything, from the smallest precision
parts for fine mechanics to 16 meter-long components for steel
construction. Whether for aerospace or vehicle manufacturing,
machine construction, the food industry, glass processing or
medical engineering – parts cut with water are used in all of
these areas.
