Water Jet Cutting The Future Is Hear

Have you seen waterjet cutting in action? It is incredible to see water being used to cut through steel

, through stone, through glass, and even through titanium like warm butter? You see companies have developed a way to harness the power of water to cut through almost all surfaces known to man. The key is to focus the water to a fine stream or point. The water is funneled through a jewel fitted nozzle at an unbelievable high pressure.

The water, which is pressurized at an ultra high level, is passed through the tiny water orifice and gives a precise contour into almost all materials. The water is turned essentially into a laser. This is all you will need for a perfect cut. The heart of the system of cutting is the ultra high pressurized system which is generated by the intense pump system.

The new technology is key to this system. Who would have thought fifty years ago that water could be used to cut through steel? A unique plunger reciprocates backward and forward which is powered by 210 bar of oil pressure. The oil pressure serves as a huge viscid that is up to twenty times bigger than the water plunger. 210 bar of oil pressure increases the water pressure beyond 4,100 bar of oil pressure. The water is compressed at 4,100 bar and the water is compressed approximately 10 percent.

Continuous water pressure is assured by the big shock attenuator which is in the high pressure plumbing system which also has flexible tubing where water is pumped into the cutting head where a small jewel is fixed that creates velocity from the pressure. The orifice hole is about the size of a human's head hair.

Want to know the speed of the water stream... It is three times faster than the speed of sound. The super sonic powerful tool is capable of cutting most materials known to man. Compare this power with the water pressure in your house which is roughly seventy pounds per square inch or as it is listed, psi. A water jet works at 60,000 pounds per inch, or psi. The water jet is operating at more than 900 miles per hour.

The water jet is used to cut foam, rubber, gasket, paper, and even food and other soft materials as these. Garnet an abrasive is added to the water and this allows the water jet to cut through hard materials like steel, glass, and even titanium.

All metals, stone, glass or fiber reinforced materials can be can be cut very easily. In this process the water jet accelerates the abrasive and the result is an accurate cut leaving a satin smooth edge. The system assures flaw free cutting into stone, glass, or even into fiber reinforced materials.

Granite counter tops are cut with a water jet and foam packing is cut by the water jet which shows how versatile the machine is. The water jet never gets dull. You can forget about spending time with drilling. It is a step you can skip with the water jet. The future of cutting is the water jet. Take a look at this cutting edge technology today. By the way a lot of airplane materials are cut by the water jet because the metal cannot go through the normal temperature rise a metal blade would cause.
