The Main Advantages

High Cutting Precision

Water jet cutting typically achieves a precision of ±0.1 mm, allowing it to accurately cut the desired shapes and dimensions. This reduces the need for subsequent machining processes, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

Wide Range of Materials

Water jet cutting can handle almost all types of materials, making it highly versatile across various industries and capable of meeting the processing needs of different materials.

No Thermal Deformation

Water jet cutting is a cold cutting process that generates no heat during operation. As a result, it eliminates the risk of thermal deformation and heat-affected zones in the material being cut.

Environmentally Friendly and Pollution-Free

The primary medium used in water jet cutting is water. The process does not produce harmful gases, dust, or noise, making it an environmentally friendly option.

High-Quality Cutting Surface

The cut surface produced by water jet cutting is smooth and flat, free from burrs and cracks. This means that most parts can be used directly without the need for additional grinding, thereby reducing processing time and costs.

Ability to Cut Complex Shapes

With the aid of a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system, water jet cutting can precisely control the cutting path. This enables it to easily achieve the cutting of complex shapes, curves, and patterns.

Application Scenarios

Architectural curtain wall glass

Suitable for various thicknesses and types of architectural curtain wall glass, reducing scrap and improving material utilization.

Panel glass for various household appliances

Smooth cutting edges with no burrs, meeting diverse design requirements.

Semiconductor quartz glass components and optical glass components

Capable of achieving cutting accuracy within ±0.1mm, effectively preventing chipping and microcracks.

Advantages of Cutting Bulletproof Glass and Laminated Glass:

No high temperature is generated, avoiding internal stress changes in the glass, preventing cracking or delamination — especially suitable for laminated and multi-layer composite glass.

Semiconductor optical glass components

Capable of cutting various types of optical glass, quartz glass, sapphire glass, and other high-hardness materials.

Industry Advantages

WAMIT pioneered the direct-drive pump era for water jet cutting in China. In 2014, the first generation of WAMIT servo direct-drive pump was introduced, significantly reducing the operating costs of water jet cutting. This first-generation pump uses a 15 kW servo motor for direct drive, which saves up to 60% of electricity per hour compared to the traditional 37 kW asynchronous motor. Additionally, the direct-drive mechanism eliminates the need for hydraulic and cooling systems. This not only reduces the initial equipment investment costs but also solves issues related to hydraulic system leakage and maintenance.

In 2024, WAMIT launched the second-generation direct-drive pump, which represents a comprehensive upgrade from the original technology. The number of components has doubled, and the processing efficiency has increased by 80%. The pump is equipped with an intelligent control system that allows users to monitor the equipment's operation in real time via a mobile app. It also enables precise calculation of operating costs and remote assistance, allowing us to identify and resolve issues for customers promptly.

FAQ

Does the cutting head require daily maintenance?

No, daily maintenance is not required, but it is recommended to perform a simple cleaning after each use and periodically inspect wear and tear on consumable parts such as the nozzle.

What’s the difference between 3-axis and 5-axis waterjet cutting?

3-axis machines cut in straight lines and are ideal for flat cuts. 5-axis machines can cut bevels, tapers, and complex angles—commonly used in the stone, aerospace, and metal fabrication industries.
