What is waterjet cutting? How does the waterjet cutting work?

Water jet cutting is to pressurize the water of normal pressure, compress it to an ultra-high pressure state, and spray a very fine water column to cut the material in an ultra-high pressure manner. The formed very fine water column has a super impact force, which is the key to breaking through the material. The characteristic of water jet cutting is that there is no thermal stress, a high temperature-free cutting process can be realized, and the material being cut has no chemical reaction or deformation. Water jet cutting is often used to cut metal and non-metal materials. Cutting metal materials needs to add abrasives, and hard non-metal materials also need to add abrasives. Soft non-metallic materials do not need to add abrasives and can be cut with pure water, such as automotive interior materials. This is what we often say about water jet cutting. The working principle of water jet cutting seems very simple, but it contains a lot of technology, so we need to pay attention to it.

What is robotic waterjet cutting? Which industries does robotic waterjet cutting apply to?

Robotic waterjet cutting is a kind of water cutting integration that uses robots as actuators. Robotic water cutting can cut three-dimensional parts, and most of them are currently used in the automotive interior industry. Robots are divided into many brands, and the structure of robotic water cutting is also divided into many types. These are determined by the car interior parts to be cut, but the basic principles are the same. The traditional plane cutting uses a CNC plane cutting machine to control the cutting route, and the robotic water cutting uses a manipulator to control the cutting route. Robotic water jet cutting has high flexibility, and the types of accessories that can be cut are more diverse.

1, Basic introduction of the principle of waterjet cutting and how does waterjet cutting work?

Water jet cutting uses ultra-high pressure technology to pressurize ordinary tap water to a pressure of 300MPa-420MPa, and then spray it through a 0.12mm-0.35mm orifice. The high-pressure water forms a high-speed water column at the nozzle. The speed of the water column is about the speed of a bullet, up to 1000mm-1200mm/s. This water column has high energy and can be used to cut soft materials. We can also use high-pressure water jet technology for solution fusion and food cutting Wait for other projects.

2, Main features of waterjet cutting

Water jet cutting machine can cut any material, one-time processing and cutting of any curve, without harmful substances, no thermal deformation, cold cutting does not require secondary processing, or easy secondary processing, water cutting is safe, environmentally friendly, and fast , High efficiency, very versatile.
