Cutting with high-pressure
waterjet is a useful alternative to the conventional thermal
cutting process. With the addition of abrasive materials
into the waterjet a wide range of metal and non-metal materials
can be cut with excellent precision of the contour, such
as mild and stainless steels, titanium, aluminium, stones,
glass, ceramics, filled and unfilled plastics and compounds.
Attached to an ESAB cutting machine best cutting results
can be achieved.
To meet the requirements of this cutting process, ESAB has
developed continuous path controlled guide machines which
enable full use of the potential offered by waterjets.
Servo drive units run the abrasive cutting machines in a
speed of 2.5-25,000 mm/min. For pure waterjet cutting up
to 50,000 mm/min.
