Machine CNC Cutting Waterjet systems with multi-axis cutting

Multi-axis waterjet cutting is an advanced manufacturing process that utilizes high-pressure water, often mixed with an abrasive material, to cut a wide variety of materials. This technique is known for its precision, versatility, and ability to cut intricate shapes without generating heat-affected zones.

Here are some key features of Multi-Axis Waterjet Cutting (Multiple Axes of Movement):

2-axis: Basic waterjet cutting, where the cutting head moves in the X and Y directions.
3-axis: Adds the ability to control the height (Z-axis), allowing for depth cutting and three-dimensional shapes.
4-axis: Introduces an additional rotational axis (typically the A-axis), enabling the cutting head to tilt while moving along the X, Y, and Z axes.
5-axis: The most advanced, with the cutting head capable of moving along the X, Y, and Z axes while also tilting and rotating (B-axis), allowing for complex and angled cuts on three-dimensional surfaces.

Here are the advantages of Multi-Axis Waterjet Cutting:

Flexibility: Can cut virtually any material and handle a wide range of thicknesses.

Precision: High degree of accuracy and edge quality, reducing the need for secondary finishing processes.
Material

Savings: Narrow kerf width minimizes material waste.

Safety: Cold cutting process reduces risks associated with heat and fumes.

Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for multiple machining processes and tools.
