Water jet cutting allows cold cutting without shaking and thermal influence of the cut material and production of complex shapes by a single operation including holes, all at a low cost for one-piece orders and with short delivery times.

The essence of water jet cutting is high-speed hydro-abrasion of the divided material by the pressure of a water jet with an abrasive material supplement through a special nozzle. Water jet cutting takes place on a computer-controlled CNC table according to the programme; many difficult shapes can be created in one operation. The advantage of water jet cutting is high accuracy and quality of the cut. Water jet-cut products can be used in engineering, construction, electrical engineering, the light industry, advertising, and interior and exterior furnishings.

Advantages of water jet cutting:

cold cut without vibration, no thermal effect on the cut material,
the cut is clean without micro-cracks, adjustment and mechanical disruption
versatility – it cuts even very difficult-to-separate and non-machinable material of different strengths,
it cuts surfaces that are hardened, polished, plated, etc., without scratching the surface treatment,
production of the most complex shapes in a single operation, including holes,
minimal nozzle cut with maximum use of the semi-finished products,
large material savings with computer part optimisation,
low cost for unit orders.

Examples of cutting materials:

tool steel, hardened steel, alloyed steel, stainless steel, spring steel,
hardox, copper, brass, aluminium, titanium and other non-ferrous metals and alloys,
granite, marble, tiles and other natural and artificial stones,
plastics, fiberglass, composites, felt, floor coverings,
rubber, klingerite, sealing materials, cork,
textiles, carpets, leather, artificial leather,
sheet materials, sheets, strips, surface-treated boards – dyed, polished, glazed, etc.

Cutting quality:

Hard materials cut by us have a slight bevel (approx. 0.5 mm) on the cut edge, cutting marks are visible. For thicker materials, there may be a slight undercutting of the material at the bottom of the shape. The resulting surface depends on the cutting speed; the higher the speed, the coarser the cut (we always consult the required cutting quality with the customer, on which the price depends).

Required data for specifying a cutting programme:

dimensioned drawing, sketch,
drawing in electronic form in “dwg”, “dxf” format.

Technical parameters of the workplace:

the working area of the table is 2000 x 1300 mm,
the thickness of the split material in metal materials is 0.1 – 20 mm,
soft materials (polystyrene, polyurethane, foam core) can be cut to a thickness of 100 mm,
the cutting accuracy ± 0.5 mm.

The price of water jet cutting depends on:

supplied data for processing (drawing, data in electronic form),
the type, quality and thickness of the material, the quality of the cut and its complexity,
handling demands, consumption of underlying materials,
seriality and total volume of orders, packaging requirements and transport layouts.

Examples of materials cut with the addition of abrasive (pruning approx. 1 mm, slightly beveled cut):

granite, marble, tiles, ceramics,
copper, aluminium and their alloys, all types of steels (hardened and tool steel).

Examples of materials cut with pure water:

soft plastics, felt, cork, foam material,
various sealing materials (klingerite, rubber, etc.),
carpets, linoleum – advertising inscriptions and logos can be cut into these floor coverings.
