We supply high pressure watejet cutting systems from only £38500 plus vat. With endless uses, waterjet cutting is fast becoming a must for businesses throughout the world. The cutter is connected to a high-pressure water pump where the water is then ejected out of the nozzle, cutting through the material by bombarding it with the stream of high-speed water. Additives in the form of garnet assist in this process.

Because the nature of the cutting stream can be easily modified, water jets can be used to cut materials as diverse as rubber and titanium. There are few materials that cannot be effectively cut with a water jet cutter; one of these is tempered glass, which shatters when cut, regardless of the cutting technology used. Certain ceramics are also resistant to water jet cutting. Water jet cuts are not typically limited by the thickness of the material, and are capable of cutting materials over twelve inches (30 cm) thick. Water jet cutters are also capable of producing rather intricate cuts in material. The kerf, or width, of the cut can be changed by changing parts in the nozzle, as well as the type and size of abrasive. Typical abrasive cuts are made with a kerf in the range of 0.04" to 0.05" (1.016 to 1.27 mm), but can be as narrow as 0.02" (0.508 mm). Non-abrasive cuts are normally 0.007" to 0.013" (0.178 to 0.33 mm), but can be as small as 0.003" (0.0076 mm), which is approximately the size of a human hair. These small cutters can make very small detail possible in a wide range of applications.Our water jet cutting machines have a working envelope as small as a few square feet, or up to 4m by 2.25m bedsizes. Ultra-high pressure water pumps are available from 40,000 psi (276 MPa) up to 55,000 psi (380 MPa).
