Why Water Jet Cutting in Precision Engineering?
August 11th, 2009 | by Qurratulain |Lone Star LWD is one of the leading companies in the field of precision engineering in the water jet cutting. The water jet cutting technique can cut a wide range of metallic and non-metallic materials from 300mm thick steel to 0.5mm thick plastics.
Some of the major characteristics of water jet cutting technology in Lone Star LWD precision engineering company are described as under:
- The water jet can cut both metallic as well as non metallic sheets.
- The extent of cutting can be up to 300mm thick
- It can cut without any type of external interference, as there is no heat affected zone
- It is equally useful while cutting high reflective metals such as aluminum and copper.
- It avoids direct surface pressure on the material while performing thin water jet cutting. Thus it is said to be the most effective way of cutting complex shapes.
- The ability to pierce through material also eliminates the need and cost of drilling starter holes.
- Water jet cutting is also useful for cutting soft materials.
Water jet machine, manufactured by Water Jet Sweden, is composed of a 3m x 1.5m cutting table and two cutting heads. The cutting heads can cut using pure water or alternatively a rough element can be added to increase cutting power to maximize the output and precision engineering services. To create the constant high velocity required to cut thick metals, it is essential to use the correct pump. To sum up, water jet cutting machine can cut several shapes of metallic and non metallic items with high precision.
