Overview
Waterjet cutting without heat stress
AquaCut is a high-precision CNC waterjet cutting machine for materials that cannot tolerate thermal or mechanical stress. It works with pure water cutting or abrasive waterjet cutting, depending on the material.
The machine cuts metal, stone, marble, armored glass, ceramics, plastics, wood, corrugated cardboard, foamed materials and sandwich materials. Working length runs from 3 to 18 m and working width from 1.5 to 4 m, with up to four tool stations.
AquaCut can be fitted with a 5-axis waterjet rotator for bevel cutting and combined with plasma, drilling or tapping units, with tapping from M3 to M12. Further options include a waterjet multi-tool station, auto-calibration of tool geometry and a sludge removal conveyor. Positioning speed is up to 56 m/min with a bidirectional repeatability of 0.05 mm/m.
Applications
Materials the AquaCut cuts
Pure or abrasive water cuts a wide range of materials without heat.
AquaCut gantry with waterjet and plasma heads over a cut steel sheet, operator at the console
Metals
Metal sheets and plates are cut by waterjet, with plasma available on the same machine.
Stone, marble and ceramics
Stone, marble and ceramic tiles are cut without thermal or mechanical stress.
Armored glass
Armored glass is cut without thermal or mechanical stress.
Plastics, wood and foams
Plastics, wood, corrugated cardboard and foamed materials are cut on the same machine.
Bevelled parts
A 5-axis waterjet rotator cuts bevelled edges on the parts.
