The change of water jet cutting

Water is the living condition of human beings, not only human beings, but also animals and plants. How can we make use of such an important resource to make it more meaningful? People's thinking is broad, and people's use of water is also unlimited. Not only do people use water resources to generate electricity, but also in the cutting industry, people think of water jet cutting technology.

Maybe many people have known that there is water jet cutting equipment, but do you know what the principle is? Who thought of this technology first? 

As early as the 1930s, some developed engineers, such as those in the United States and the Soviet Union, were already using high-speed water jet technology to cut rocks and coal. This is the early water jet cutter and water jet cutting technology we are involved in. But at that time, people did not pay attention to it. Later, someone applied for a patent for the ultra-high pressure water jet cutting technology, and successfully developed the equipment using the ultra-high pressure water jet cutting technology in the following years, that is, the water knife really appeared at this time.

After decades of development, the water jet technology has been continuously improved and upgraded by the technical R&D personnel of various countries. Of course, the water jet technology is also constantly improving. From a few MPa at the beginning to tens of MPa, and from hundreds of MPa now, the development speed is very considerable. As far as we know, the pressure of the water jet has reached 500 MPa, which is not a problem for cutting 150 mm thick metal materials.

It can be seen that the use of water jet cutter equipment is a new breakthrough for the cutting industry. As time goes on, the technology of water jet cutter will be more perfect, which can adapt to more cutting environments and make its functions play.


For the water jet cutter, the key to the cutting effect is the ability of the water jet cutter. In order to achieve a good cutting effect, the enterprise has strengthened the research and development of the performance of the water jet cutter. After unremitting efforts, a new type of intelligent water jet cutter was born, which marks that the water jet cutter has entered the processing mode of high pressure, high precision and high intelligence. Its advantages are also different from those of the traditional water jet cutter.

Previously, due to the great difference in the application of traditional water jet cutters, the water jet cutter industry was stagnant, and the application occasions can only be in areas with different requirements for cutting accuracy. The appearance of intelligent water jet cutter has broken this limitation, and water jet cutting technology has been applied more and more in many precision machining. The cutting of sheet metal shall be described in detail.

The advantages of using intelligent water jet in sheet metal processing in terms of cutting efficiency and cutting accuracy are obvious. Because the intelligent water meter can control the jet in real time, it can realize the utilization of energy and minimize the waste of energy. The cutting speed is also unmatched by ordinary water jet, not to mention the accuracy. The avoidance of error can enable the plate parts to be directly made with a water jet cutter.

Not only that, the application of intelligent water jet cutter has greatly reduced the restrictions and requirements on processing materials. As long as the materials that basically meet the requirements can be processed in this way, and it is easy to complete. Such a wide range of applications will not affect the role of the intelligent water jet on the cutting surface, and will not cause damage to the cutting surface. Moreover, the environmental protection effect of the intelligent water jet cutter in processing is also very ideal, which also meets the production requirements of low-carbon and environmental protection of enterprises.
