WATERJET Cutting Technology
Waterjet cutting technology represents a revolutionary solution in the material processing industry, thanks to its precision, flexibility, and environmental sustainability. Utilizing a powerful jet of water under high pressure, often combined with abrasive particles, this method enables precise cutting of nearly all types of materials without thermal deformation. Marex Elektrostroj d.o.o. takes pride in its investment in the cutting-edge Flow Mach 500 waterjet cutting machine, setting new standards in the material processing industry.
What is Waterjet Technology?
Waterjet technology is one of the most advanced methods of material cutting in modern industry. It relies on a directed jet of water under extremely high pressure, which can reach up to 4,000 bar, to cut a wide range of materials. The high-speed, high-power water jet is channeled through a fine nozzle and precisely aimed at the material's surface. For softer materials like plastics, rubber, or fabrics, pure water is sufficient. However, for cutting harder materials like metal, glass, or stone, abrasive particles—usually garnet—are added to the water stream, significantly enhancing its cutting power.
The process is fully controlled by advanced CNC systems, allowing for the creation of complex shapes with high precision. Waterjet technology is especially valued for its flexibility, as it can handle a broad range of material thicknesses, from the thinnest sheets to massive slabs. What makes this technology unique is its cold-cutting process, which avoids deformation, structural changes, or material damage caused by heat.
In addition to delivering high-quality results, Waterjet technology has a significant ecological component. It utilizes a natural cutting process without harmful emissions or chemical byproducts, and the waste material generated during cutting is minimal and often recyclable. This technology is not only efficient but also sustainable, making it an ideal solution for modern industrial production.
Advantages of Waterjet Technology
Unmatched Precision
Waterjet technology enables the creation of complex shapes and detailed cuts with micron-level accuracy, making it ideal for projects requiring a high level of detail.
Cutting Without Thermal Deformation
Unlike technologies such as laser or plasma cutting, Waterjet cutting generates no heat, eliminating issues like warping, cracking, or structural changes in the material.
Versatile Applications
Waterjet cutting can process a wide range of materials, including metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, rubber, composites, and even stone.
Environmentally Friendly
This technology uses only water and abrasive particles, without chemicals or emissions, contributing to sustainability and reducing negative environmental impacts.
Minimal Waste and Better Material Utilization
Precision cutting minimizes leftover material, leading to more economical and sustainable operations.
