Water cutting
Water cutting means to force a concentrated jet of water through different materials at high pressure. The high speed of the water provides a force that enables precision cutting in most metals, but also in rubber, wood, stone and ceramic materials. With our water cutting machine, Kimtech, we can offer cost-effective cutting of parts with very strict tolerance requirements.
Abrasive water cutting is a cold process, where the material is machined without thermal effects. By adding abrasives such as sand, the cutting effect is multiplied and means the technology is suitable for cutting even harder materials. Water cutting produces a soft and smooth cutting surface, where the requirements for finishing are reduced.
The technology and the performance of our machines give us many advantages.
- High precision
The result is precise because the machine is equipped with a 5-axis cutting head. Bevelling and conical holes are bevelled directly in the plate. Angles of up to 45° are possible.
- Efficiency
Efficient flows with short set-up times from drawing to finished details. Configuration directly in the machine makes the work fast and efficient.
- Good production costs
Thin cuts with high precision provide a high degree of utilization of the material.
