Water jet cutting delivers a range of benefits over other cutting methods and technologies, including:
- Cold cutting means there are no thermal influences or contamination
- Flexible processing of virtually all materials with consistent high quality cutting
- Intricate detail may be easily produced
- Polished and highly reflective materials may be cut
- Material saving production—achieved by a reduced cutting width and the nesting of several parts on a single sheet
- Maximum degree of material utilisation thanks to the smallest of part separation distances (partially free of burrs) and part in part production
- Tension-free processed parts—owing to minimal cutting force
- Environmentally friendly and clean production without poisonous gases
- Good access to the work area of the water-jet system
- Optimisation of cutting parameters to meet individual customer requirements
- It is possible with some materials to identify the cut parts using water-jet engraving
- High material savings due to narrow bridges or ribs
- No tool manufacturing costs and tool storage costs
- High productivity possible through dual cutting systems and multilayer cutting
