Who Uses Waterjet Cutting Systems?
If you can imagine it, a waterjet will cut it.
Who uses a waterjet cutting system? Waterjets are one of the most versatile cutting machines in manufacturing. Waterjet cutting machines manufacture parts for industries from foam and rubber to aerospace. Waterjets can cut nearly any material by using abrasive or water-only. The following industries listed below have seen success in cutting with waterjets.
Automotive
Waterjet cutting systems are commonly used in the automotive industry for cutting components such as dashboards, door panels, and engine parts. This industry requires high precision and accuracy; waterjet cutting systems can provide consistent and reliable results.
Aerospace
The aerospace industry uses waterjet machines to cut various components such as aircraft wings, turbine blades, and engine parts. These parts require precise cuts, and waterjets can achieve high accuracy without causing any damage to the material.
Fabricators
Fabricators use waterjet cutting systems to create intricate and complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional cutting methods. Waterjet cutting systems also offer fabricators the ability to cut thicker materials than other cutting methods, such as laser or plasma, making it a popular choice for fabricators working with heavy-duty materials.
Medical
One of the main advantages of using abrasive waterjets in the medical industry is increased production and precision. The medical sector has continuously changing needs to cut various materials, and the FlexJet has no limitations on what it can cut, making it the perfect choice.
Food Processing
Waterjet cutting has a crucial advantage in sanitation for cutting food, increasing production, and decreasing the amount of waste. The FlexJet can cut meats, baked goods, frozen food, produce, and any other food in a clean, precise cut.
Paper Production
Paper can be cut in a thin line without damage to the edges due to the fast and precise cut of a water-only waterjet. The water-only machine is the ideal choice for cutting and making slits in all kinds of paper, including thick cardboard.
Architecture & Design
The architecture and design industry uses waterjet cutting systems to create intricate and unique designs in stone and metal. Waterjet cutting systems can create detailed designs that would be difficult to achieve using traditional cutting methods. Cutting stone using a waterjet increases productivity, reduces stress on the rock, and virtually no chipping on the edge of the stone, which allows it to keep its natural shape.
Textiles, Foam, and Rubber
Water-only waterjets are ideal for cutting fabrics, foam, and rubber. Waterjet cutting can create precise and accurate cuts without damaging the delicate fibers of the fabric.
Waterjet cutting systems have numerous applications across diverse industries. If you require a waterjet cutting system to fulfill your cutting needs, turn to FlexJet.
