Waterjet Cutting Services by Param Technocraft

Abrasive cutting methods are used for hard materials such as metal, glass, minerals, concrete, glass composites, ceramics, aluminum or silicone oxide. In other words, abrasive is added where pure water is unable to cut the material properly. In the abrasive cutting process, abrasive (consisting of fine particles) is added to the waterjet. In the cutting head, water, air and abrasive are mixed together and forced through the focusing tube at high speed. The resulting high-energy jet is capable of micro-eroding, i.e. drilling and cutting, materials of great thicknesses and of the most diverse consistencies, such as metals, ceramics, rock and even bullet-proof glass.

Advantages of Abrasive Waterjet Cutting

• Stress Free Cutting
• No metallurgical Deformation
• No Material Jump-Off
• No Tool Sharpening
• No Dust, Fumes or Gases Released
• Eliminates most Secondary - Finishing Operations

Method is primarily used for soft materials such as plastics, textiles, paper, sealing materials, metal foils, plywood, food, etc. Normal tap water is pressurised and forced through a small precious stone orifice, so that a highly powerful cutting jet is produced. This jet exits the orifice at a speed of up to three times that of sound and can be used to cut materials at high cutting speeds (determined by the properties of the material).
