Industries

Waterjet cutting in your industry.

A waterjet cuts without heat input, so your material does not melt, does not warp and keeps its mechanical properties. That makes the technique widely applicable: from fast custom cutting work to layered composite and tempered glass. See how companies in each industry work with our ACM systems.

Applications

One cutting technique,
eight industries.

All applications
Marble trough basin with the veining running on across the mitred corner, cut at Junge Steindesign.

Natural stone

For a stone processor making worktops, basins and decorative work: clean cuts in hard quartzite without crumbling or cracked edges, and 2.5D cutting for design freedom.

Composite

For layered, fibre reinforced work: a pre-drilled pilot hole keeps the jet out of the layers, and because the process is cold the mechanical properties stay intact. From sheet or as finishing of existing material.

Cut stainless steel components with a clean cut edge.

Metal

For sheet metal that has to stay dimensionally stable: where stainless steel warps under plasma or laser, a waterjet cuts cold. The part goes on to the next operation with no burrs and no need for reworking.

Cutting service providers

For a cutting service provider with custom work and short lead times: cost-efficient cutting on one table for widely varying jobs.

OEM

For those who take components into a production line of their own: a pump, a table or a cutting head separately, with customisation on it. The integration into your line you do yourself or with your own machine builder.

Glass

For standard, chemically tempered and laminated glass: always with abrasive, because pure water is not an alternative here. On laminated glass the DR-4 drills a pilot hole first.

Cut shapes in acoustic foam.

Foam

For acoustic foam, insulation and gasket material: an internal opening that a band saw cannot free without an extra cut, a water jet cuts in one pass.

Maintenance and workshops

For a workshop doing maintenance and repair: flexible cutting and the fast production of replacement parts and one-off workpieces.

One technique

Almost any material, without heat input.

A waterjet cuts everything from stainless steel, aluminium and titanium to natural stone, ceramics, composite, glass, rubber, plastic and foam. Because heat does not affect the material, it keeps its mechanical properties and you are left with a smooth, burr-free cut that needs hardly any finishing.

  • Metal, stone, glass, composite and ceramics
  • Material thicknesses from 1 to 200 mm
  • With or without abrasive, depending on the material

Why waterjet

Why companies choose waterjet.

Whether you run custom cutting work or machine high-grade alloys: waterjet gives you one technique that handles almost any material, without the drawbacks of heat. That keeps your mechanical properties intact and your finishing to a minimum.

That is how a single cutting table covers widely varying work across industries, from stone processing to aerospace.

Three reasons
01Almost any materialFrom steel and titanium to stone, glass, composite and foam, from 1 to 200 mm thick.
02Without heat inputNo warping or micro-cracks; a smooth, burr-free cut.
03One technique, many applicationsWith or without abrasive, depending on the material.
Business case

What it delivers commercially.

The reasons above are technical. They explain how the process works, not why a board invests in it. That second argument is a different story, and it holds for waterjet as a technique, not for one supplier.

Four arguments
01A lower entry point when preparing a seriesPreparing a large series? You make prototypes and first production runs on the waterjet instead of setting up a dedicated line straight away.
02Less finishing further down the lineThe waterjet sets the shape cold and accurately, so your workpiece arrives further finished on the capital-intensive machines that follow.
03Flexibility and responsivenessLoad a different drawing, pick a different material, cut. That way you take on work you previously had to outsource or turn down.
04Accuracy other techniques cannot reachOn brittle stone and ceramics, on composites and on thick stacks, a waterjet delivers a cut other machines do not make.

Proven in practice, at manufacturers, stone processors and defence organisations across Europe
