Waterjet Creations - Overview & Process Advantages

The advantages of the Waterjet process extend beyond its cost competitiveness with other cutting techniques. Waterjet allows for the fabrication of many materials where there are no effective alternative methods. Waterjet also offers advantages for cutting complex shapes and intricate designs, not otherwise economically achievable.

Waterjet Creations has quickly earned a reputation for the knowledge, experience and turnaround capabilities necessary to serve the exacting demands of its customers.


Waterjet Creations offer the accuracy and reliability of the Byjet machine allied to the experience of our operating personnel to offer our customers,

• Virtually burr-free cut edges without the heat generated structural changes
• Close nesting of shapes giving economical conversion of high value materials
• Multi head operation allowing competitive cutting of flat materials

Typical examples of the use of Waterjet Technology.

• Aerospace : titanium, steel, aluminum, Cr-Ni-Co alloys as well as composites - materials which are preferred for use in various components in both engines and bodies
• Building and Construction : decorative stone, tile, marble, and granite, concrete, plasterboard, and insulation materials
• Machining : gears, castings, stainless steel components, cooper,
  aluminum, titanium and their alloys.
• Glazing : sandwich, safety and armored glass as well as Plexiglas
• Woodworking : veneer, sandwich and solid wood
  
• Textiles : clothing, leather, carpenting and tiles
• Paper : carton board, printing papers, carton
• Automotive Industry : Interior panels out of compound materials,
  back mirrors, dash boards, head liners, car tires, clamps, gaskets
• Electronic Industry : faint glow, cellulose fibre, resin compounds,
  electonic cards
• Food : baked goods, fruits, frozen foods and frozen fish

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting

(1) Low Cost.
Our abrasive waterjet-machining centre uses your existing DXF files. No costly dies,
fixtures, or elaborate CNC programs required.

(2) No Minimum.
Low start-up costs allow for inexpensive, highly accurate production for quantities as
small as one item.

(3) Fast Turnaround.
Working from your drawings eliminates the need to wait for dies or fixtures.

(4) High Accuracy
Cuts are accurate within ± 0.125mm (0.005").

(5) Smooth, Flat cuts.
Water jet cuts are smooth, similar to a fine sandblasted finish. Flexible materials cut
with less taper than cuts made through die cutting.

(6) No Heat Build-up.
Materials like glass, rubber, and plastic will not melt during the cutting process. No
melting, no heat affected areas, no structural changes.

(7) Cuts just about anything.
Wateret machining is capable of cutting just about anything.

(8) Less Waste.
"Parts nesting" provides optimum use of sheet materials, reducing scrap.

These examples serve only as a indication of the current use of waterjet technology.
There are many more possibilities. In the future other new application areas will open up.
