Waterjet Cutting

Facilities, equipment, tools and materials

Waterjet cutting is a digitally controlled working method in which a high pressure water jet is used, together with an added abrasive, to cut through the material being worked on. Waterjet cutting can be used to cut almost any kind of solid material, such as metals, rock, concrete, glass, ceramic, wood or plastics. It can be used to cut precisely-dimensioned and finely detailed shapes.

Waterjet cutter Omax 55100, maximum cutting area 1397 X 2540 X 200. The cutter has a bevel head.
