Purchasing a waterjet machine: everything you need to know

Assessing the purchase of a waterjet machine means carefully analyzing your production needs. Materials to be processed, volumes, available space and operating costs are fundamental aspects to identify the most suitable solution.

MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY

One of the main benefits of waterjet technology is its great versatility.

CMS waterjet systems are divided into two categories:

• Water-only cutting: ideal for soft materials such as rubber and expanded materials

• Abrasive waterjet cutting: perfect for precision machining of steel, titanium, alloys, aluminum, glass, composites, stone and ceramics.

This flexibility makes the waterjet suitable for numerous sectors, from aerospace to automotive, up to the manufacturing industry.

MACHINING PROGRAMMING

Advanced software can automatically create the cutting path from CAD files, reducing setup times and manual interventions.

The outcome? Accurate workpieces right from the first cut, efficient management of prototypes and single production runs, and material optimization, even in mass production.

CUTTING TABLE SIZE

The size of the cutting table directly affects production efficiency.

CMS cutting tables are available in a range of configurations, from compact solutions for small spaces, to the tilting table for vertical loading, and large formats for fabricating large sheets.

FLEXIBILITY: LOWER OPERATING COSTS

For CMS, the real competitive advantage of waterjet cutting is the flexibility to cut any material without having to replace or modify mechanical parts or reconfigure the cutting setup.

This translates into a real reduction in machine downtime, greater productivity, and the ability to respond quickly to the needs of different markets, while reducing operating costs.

COLD CUTTING: ZERO DEFORMATION

Unlike thermal cutting technologies, waterjet cutting is a cold process: no deformation, no thermal alteration, and maximum finished edge quality, even on fragile materials such as glass and ceramics, and on composite materials such as sheets reinforced with carbon fiber and glass fiber.
