Water jet cutting is a process that utilizes a narrow stream of pressurized water to cut through various materials. By potentially including an abrasive material in the water stream, ABLE Inc. improves this process and makes it easier to cut through thicker or harder materials. This technology makes it possible to create complex cuts with unmatched accuracy, which makes it an important tool across industries.

How Does it Work?

Water jet cutting is a complex yet efficient method. ABLE ensures consistent and comparable outcomes by precisely guiding the water jet through the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software. It produces flawless cuts without producing heat-affected zones, as observed in more conventional technologies like laser cutting.

When to Use

When accuracy is essential, water jet cutting performs best. For industries like aerospace that require flawless cuts with small tolerances, it’s the preferred option. It can create even the smallest and most complex shapes with accuracy, which makes it a valuable asset for projects where quality is a must.

Benefits of Water Jet Cutting

• Superior Edge Quality: It delivers unparalleled edge quality, with smooth, uniform cuts that are free from burrs or imperfections. This top-edge quality eliminates the need for secondary finishing processes, saving time and cost in production.
• Cost Efficiency: With minimal material wastage and reduced need for secondary processing, water jet cutting proves to be a cost-effective solution for manufacturers. The precision of the process ensures optimal material utilization.
• Versatility: This converting solution is incredibly versatile, capable of slicing through a wide range of materials with ease. From metals and composites to stone, glass, and even food products, this process offers unmatched flexibility in manufacturing.
• No Heat Affected Zones: Unlike traditional cutting methods such as laser cutting, water jet cutting is a cold process that does not generate heat. This absence of heat affected zones ensures that the material properties remain intact
• Precision Internal Cut-outs: It excels in creating precise internal cut-outs, allowing for complex designs, custom patterns, and unique shapes to be effortlessly fabricated. The accuracy of the process, with tolerances as tight as ±0.1 to ±0.2mm, ensures consistent results every time.
• Material & Thickness Compatibility: It is capable of slicing through materials of varying thickness, from thin foams to thick metals over 25mm. The needle-sharp cutting stream is composed of a mixture of water and abrasive solution.
• No Tool Changes Required: Operating efficiency is maximized with water jet cutting, as it eliminates the need for tool changes when switching between different materials. With no nozzle changes required, downtime is minimized.

Materials Can be Cut Using Water Jet Cutting

• Stone & Tiles: From granite countertops to difficult ceramic tiles, a water jet cutter is used with ease, delivering precise cuts and complex designs for architectural and decorative applications.
• Glass: Glass cutting requires delicate precision, and the water jet cutting process rises to the challenge. Whether it’s shaping architectural glass or crafting intricate patterns for decorative pieces, the technology ensures clean cuts without compromising integrity.
• Metal: Metals of varying thicknesses, including aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, are effortlessly sliced by a water jet cutter. It’s precision parts for automotive or aerospace industries or intricate designs for artistic endeavors.
• Composites: Composite materials, known for their strength and versatility, are ideal for services involving water jet cutters. The technology is suitable for cutting complex forms and profiles out of materials like carbon fiber, fiberglass, or Kevlar. This makes it perfect for use in the aerospace, automotive, and marine industries.
• Automotive Components: It is essential in the automotive industry for everything from complex engine components to door panels and headliners. The technology guarantees high-quality components and improves manufacturing operations by handling diverse materials and producing precise cuts.
• Aerospace Materials: In the aerospace industry, accuracy is essential. The method ensures the precision and dependability needed for aerospace applications, from slicing turbine blades to molding composite materials for aircraft components.
• Food Products: This technology extends its versatility even to the food industry. From slicing fruits and vegetables to portioning meats and cheeses, the procedure guarantees clean, sanitary cuts free of contamination.
