KMT Waterjet cutting plastic and acrylic

KMT Waterjet offers the best solution for cutting plastic and acrylic. With no heat-affected zone (HAZ), and no fumes, cold water jet cutting provides superior edges. No secondary finishing.

Cutting a variety of materials with KMT Waterjet technology.

Water jet cutting technology has been used for several decades to perform plastic and acrylic cutting. In fact, this process supersedes the development of the abrasive waterjet used to cut harder materials such as stone, glass, and metals. Unlike abrasive waterjet cutting, however, pure water can used to cut plastics and acrylics.

Waterjet technology has revolutionized plastic and acrylic cutting, surpassing traditional methods like laser and plasma. Unlike abrasive waterjet cutting, pure waterjet is used exclusively, offering several advantages:

Material Integrity: Waterjet cutting maintains material integrity, preventing water absorption and heat-affected zones, ensuring precise, clean cuts.
Efficiency and Precision: Omni-directional cutting with minimal tolerances ensures accuracy without the need for blade sharpening.
Cold Cutting: Waterjet cutting produces no heat-affected zones, preserving material integrity and avoiding melting, making it safe for plastics.
Conveyor-Fed Operation: Stationary cutting nozzles facilitate conveyor-fed operation, enhancing efficiency and automation in processing plastic and acrylic sheets.

The clean, very thin waterjet stream (thinner than a strand of human hair) does not cause the material being cut to absorb water, maintaining the integrity of the materials.

The technology also does not create heat-affected zones while precisely cutting with speed. Waterjet leaves a smooth, clean cut, virtually eliminating and second operation for finishing. Thus, the efficiency of the process makes cutting with water jets an effective solution for manufacturers of plastic and acrylic components and parts.

Overall, waterjet cutting offers a superior solution for manufacturers seeking efficient, precise, and environmentally friendly methods for cutting a variety of materials.

WATERJET CUTTING BENEFITS

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

Waterjet cutting generates no hazardous fumes or vapors, and no airborne dust, ensuring a cleaner product and safer working environment.

BATCH PROCESSING PLASTIC AND ACRYLIC

Multi-head waterjet systems are well-suited for batch processing, allowing for the simultaneous cutting of multiple identical or similar parts like plastic gaskets further enhancing productivity.

COMPLEX PLASTIC AND ACRYLIC SHAPES

Waterjet cutting is highly capable of cutting complex shapes and intricate patterns with high precision. This is particularly beneficial for plastic materials used in industries where lightweight, high-strength components with intricate geometries are required.

WATER-ONLY CUTTING

Environmentally-friendly pure water cutting doesn’t require garnet, sand, or abrasive additives and cleanly cuts up to six inches thick with no secondary finishing.
