WaterJet cutting Garnet Sand
One of the most common uses for garnet is waterjet cutting garnet sand, clearly, the most effective non-thermal cutting method using high pressured water with added a natural abrasive material. As a result, this advanced technology can cut virtually any material, any shape at any thickness while getting an exceptional precision.
Operating Principle of Waterjet Cutting
Every cutting methodology is based on the input of energy into the material, so as to overcome the chemical bindings present within the structure of the material. Thermal cutting methods, for instance, utilize the energy of chemical reactions, electricity, or light to provide high temperatures in order to fulfill the material at the cutting kerf. Mechanical methods utilize the kinetic energy of the moving tool or type of ductile materials through the application of pressure. Waterjet Cutting is often classified as a mechanical technique. The energy of the speedily moving jet is employed either within the shape of a pure waterjet or abrasive waterjet and then applied to the workpiece causing small erosion. The cutting water works as a cooling agent of the cutting edge, therefore permitting very high-quality cuts.
Advantages of Water Jet Cutting
- Precise cutting of various forms and shapes in even the hardest materials.
- Cold cutting – no heat-affected zones, no hardening.
- It’s faster than many conventional cutting tools.
- It does not workload material – stress-free cutting method.
- Omni-directional cutting – the ability to cut in any direction needed.
Most remarkable, one and the same CNC-operated water jet cutting machine can cut all different materials. Starting from soft ones, like rubber or plastics to the very hardest, like wood, metal, and ceramic. Ultimately sensitive material as glass can be safely cut with no cracking. Due to this level of versatility, comfortable ease of operation makes water jet technology compare to no other machine tool process in the market.
