Marostal renders the services of water jet cutting. By applying the latest technology, we offer the services of accurate cutting and cutting out elements in the majority of known materials.
How does it work?
Water jet cutting consists in applying a strong jet of water produced by a high-pressure pump. A very small diameter of water jet hits the material under high pressure and thus makes it possible to cut it. A water jet cutter is built of the newest highly-resistant materials. It enables water compression under very high pressure amounting to approximately 4000 atmospheres, so as to transfer it subsequently to the cutting head. The pressure energy in the head is changed into kinetic energy, whilst water speed approaches 1000m/s.

In order to increase cutting capacity and to enable the cutting of more resistant materials, water is mixed with very fine abrasives, so-called garnet. Such a cutting with application of additional material is called abrasive cutting. In this case, water is used most of all as a carrier of abrasive material (garnet), cutting the hardest materials.
Water jet cutting – technology characteristics:
– possibility to cut materials of any shape up to 200 mm thickness
we offer the cutting area of maximal dimensions 4000 mm / 2000 mm
– high quality of cut edges eliminates the necessity of further processing of elements
– repetitiveness of dimensions of processed materials
– the cost of getting a finished element is lower than in case of elements processed by traditional methods
– no changes in the structure of materials being cut due to low cutting temperatures which do not occasion any changes of properties of those materials
– very high precision of execution of the elements does not differ from the quality of laser cutting without hardening of material edges
– short production preparation time
– technology ideal for both serial and single production
