WMT Waterjet Applications in the Composite Materials Cutting Industry

WMT waterjet cutting technology is widely used in the processing of composite materials such as rubber, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and other high-performance structural components. With its cold-cutting process and high-pressure precision stream, it can accurately cut complex geometries, curves, and intricate contours without causing delamination, burning, or material deformation. This makes it especially suitable for industries requiring tight tolerances and high-quality edge finishes, such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and advanced manufacturing. By eliminating heat-affected zones and reducing material waste, WMT waterjet systems help manufacturers achieve superior cutting accuracy while maintaining the integrity and strength of composite 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

What should be noted when operating the cutting head?

Mainly ensure the cutting height is appropriate—neither too far nor too close to the material—to guarantee optimal cutting results and extend nozzle lifespan.

How long does the machine last?

With proper maintenance, the machine can last over 10 years. Key parts like the pump seals and cutting heads have replaceable components for long-term durability.

Is it safe to operate a waterjet machine?

Yes, our machines include multiple safety features such as emergency stop buttons, enclosed covers (optional), and pressure relief systems. Operator training is also provided.
