Now that the cutting program is prepared and the panel is in place, it is relatively simple matter to complete the water or abrasive cutting, and it's doubtful that another cutting machine that will cut throught so many different materials.
From foam sheets to the hardest of steel, the Jetstream slices through with relative ease. And there are some materials, for example textured glass mirror laminate,that are extremely difficult if not impossible to cut with any other machine.
The Jetstream waterjet uses the principle of forcing water under extremely high pressure, and allows the water to escape through a very small opening. This is ideal for cutting soft materials such as rubber, foam and leather. However, for your hard materials. it is necessary to cut with anabrasive which is accelerated by water. The high velocity waterjet creates a vacuum which pulls the abrasive into the mixing chamber, producing an extremely energetic abrasive jet cutter. |
