Universal, precise and material-friendly: waterjet cutting delivers the highest quality, maximum flexibility and economic advantages over processes such as laser cutting, wire EDM or conventional machining.
The material remains unchanged because no heat is introduced – ideal for sensitive or difficult-to-machine materials.
Almost all materials and thicknesses can be cut – from delicate individual parts to large-format components.
Narrow kerf width, high accuracy and minimal post-processing ensure quality, save material and reduce costs.
Waterjet cutting uses an extremely fine high-pressure jet which – with or without abrasive – separates and precisely cuts materials. Because no heat is generated, the structure and properties of the material remain completely unchanged. This makes the technology suitable for a wide range of materials and applications.
Waterjet cutting is a high-precision cutting process in which water is pressurized up to 6,000 bar and focused through a fine nozzle. Depending on the requirements, the jet can be accelerated with abrasive to cut even the hardest materials reliably.
In contrast to thermal processes such as laser cutting, no heat or material deformation occurs. Unlike wire EDM, no conductive surface is required, and compared to milling or turning, material loss is minimal thanks to the narrow kerf.
These characteristics make the process universally applicable – from thin plastics to massive metal alloys, from sensitive glass to high-strength composite materials. Even very complex contours, small holes or tight radii can be produced with highest precision – without additional processing steps.
The result: clean, accurate cut edges, minimal post-processing, efficient material utilization and a level of flexibility that other processes cannot offer. Waterjet cutting combines precision, versatility and economic efficiency in one unique technology.
