This can range anywhere from a 0.1 mm up to 300mm thick. It varies with the softness or hardness of the material being cut. Hard materials are normally cut up to 150mm thick. This does not mean Stainless Steel or stone with a higher thickness cannot be cut with a waterjet. It all depends on the purpose for which cutting is done (i.e. prototype, production, etc.), system’s operating conditions, HP Pump capacity and on the desired cut finish. It also depends on how long you are ready to wait for nozzle travel, as and when thickness increases, cutting speed decreases. For all materials, adjustments can usually be made to produce required results and if needed higher capacity pump is used. Following list shows possibilities of cutting different material:

Floor Medallions, Tabletop Inlay, Wall Inlay, Metal Inlay, Outdoor Stone(Pool Decks, Custom Stepping Stones, Entryway Etc.), Border Tiles, Artistic & Architectural Designs/ Murals, Stone Furniture, Kitchens/countertops

Flooring Inlay, Tabletop Inlay, Wall Inlay, Metal Artwork(Outdoor, Theme Parks, Special Lighting, Museum Silhouettes etc.) Flat glass with numerous contours, Stained glass(Craft, Church Mosaics, Lam; shades, etc.), Bullet proof glass, Optical glass

Metals(Aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, titanium, alloys, Brass, Inconel, Carbon steel, Copper etc,), Kevlar, Laminates, phonetics, wax, plastics(high and low density), Plexiglas, acrylics, leather, wood

Interior & Exterior trims(headliners, carpets, liners, dumpers, door & instrument panels, seats, composite parts & castings)etc., robot waterjet can cut an automobile interior in any angles and separate scraps automatically.

Titanium bodies for aircrafts, engine components(aluminum, titanium, heat-resistant alloys), aluminum body parts, tough ceramics, interior cabin panels including soft plastics, foam & fabric for seats etc., most of the composites.

Circuits boards(populated and unpopulated), cable stripping(insulation coverings) etc.

Home insulation, panel insulation(Typically 4” X 8” sheets cut to fit specific applications), boat & personal water craft bodies etc.

Gaskets of asbestos, tuber, Teflon, copper, titanium, etc. for end-user & O.E.M. in industries like automotive, marine, engineering, aerospace and many more.

Corrugated box board & paper(where product wetting is not crucial), cement sheet, food(meat, sea food, bakery items etc.)

To teach waterjet m/c as an innovative cutting technology to students, many of the larger size institute that offer engineering classes also have waterjet to provide job-shop services to other departments, to do R & D, to make projects.

Job and machine shops use the unmatched versatility of waterjets to expand their capabilities beyond what is possible with machining centers, lasers, EDM of mills, when using watejet they can throw out pre-conceived ideas which are traditionally considered as a “Difficult Application”.

To blanking out surgical instrument from special steel alloys, cutting artificial limb components, in manufacturing carbon braces and orthopedic application appliances, making prototype.

Air pressure requirement of machine 4 to 6 kg/cm2, the selection of the compressor should be accordingly

Water Supply purity with TDS more than 80 & less than 200, insoluble impurity less than 0.5 micron in RO Plant with the capacity of 250 liters per hour.

Computer configuration should include 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Hard Disc, Windows XP Software, Auto Cad 2006 Software and Serial Port. USB Pen Drive, Processor: Pentium 4

For Heat Exchanger, Chilling Plant is required to maintain the machines inlet water temperature below 5 to 10 C (For Heat Exchanger Inlet Oil Temperature will be 50’ C & Outlet Oil Temperature required is 25’ C)
