Water Jet Cutting Manufacturers

Water jet cutting is a powerful variance on the conventional metal cutting tools. By means of high-pressure water jet and some abrasive, munitions can be cut with high speed. Nevertheless it is a relatively safe method as the water cools the metal and possible ignition of the explosive is suppressed. This technique can be utilized on those munitions that cannot be opened by reversed assembly e.g. munitions in bad condition. Water pressures of 400 MPa are commonly used for industrial purposes, although pressure as high as 1400 MPa is possible. The nozzle diameter can vary between 0.05 and 1mm. The outcome is a fine water jet that can cut a narrow groove. Materials for which water jet cutting is used include cardboard, insulating materials, rubber, soft gasket materials, fabrics, plastics, and food produce.
