Water jet cutting has many advantages

UltraCut is an expert in high pressure water jet cutting, and has worked with the technology since its early days. As a method, the superiority of water jet cutting is based on its numerous advantages.

• Water jet cutting is suitable for both soft and hard materials
• The original characteristics of the material being cut remain unchanged
• The machining mark of water jet cutting is extremely neat
• The surface of the material being cut is not damaged or bent
• Cutting even a complicated geometry with water is quick and easy
• In addition, the machining mark of water jet cutting requires little finishing

At cutting speed, water jet cutting loses to the super-fast fibre laser cutting, but its productivity can be improved by increasing the number of cutting heads.

However, the most important advantage of water jet cutting over fibre laser is its versatility – nearly all materials can be cut using the water jet cutting method.

Abrasive water jet cutting is used when the thickness and density of the material being cut increase. Abrasive cutting means a method of mixing very fine sand in the water. Thanks to the sand, the power of water jet cutting is multiplied.
