How Waterjet Works
Waterjet cutting uses a supersonic stream of water that is so powerful it can cut through virtually any material in one pass without shredding or crushing it. The Jet Edge waterjet is created by pressurizing water up to 60,000 pounds per square inch (psi) with Jet Edge's legendary intensifier pumps. In many applications, an abrasive material such as garnet is added to the water to create an abrasive waterjet, or abrasivejet, that can cleanly cut through hard surfaces.
Advantages of Jet Edge Waterjets
Jet Edge waterjets offer many productivity and flexibility advantages over traditional cutting methods including: no sharpening, no burrs requiring secondary finishing, and a hygienic method for cutting food. Waterjets completely eliminate heat-affected zones, toxic fumes, recast layers, work hardening, and thermal stress. Jet Edge waterjets can hold an accuracy of 0.005 inch with a repeatability of 0.001 inch over the entire work envelope. They have been known to cut materials up to 15 inches thick.
Waterjets are environmentally safe and produce no hazardous waste resulting in lower waste disposal costs. Waterjet technology allows large pieces of cut material to be reused which other cutting methods cannot. This reduced scrap and waste disposal costs. Parts can be closely nested to maximize material use, and the waterjet saves material with minimal kerf. Waterjets use very little water (a half gallon to approximately one gallon per minute depending on cutting head orifice size), and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system. Waste water usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain. The garnet abrasive mineral is naturally occurring and non-toxic and can be recycled for repeated use. Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill.
