Compared with laser cutting, plasma cutting, electric spark cutting, wire cutting, water cutting, water cutting has its unique advantages. In terms of metal processing, water cutting belongs to cold cutting, no heat affected zone in the process of processing, no heat deformation, narrow slit (can be nested processing workpiece, the maximum degree of material saving), high precision. In addition, water knife cutting is not only applied to traditional processing but also can be used for other processing equipment can not complete the material cutting, such as glass, ceramics, composite materials, paper, chemical fiber, thermal sensitive materials......
Many people think that laser cutting in cutting speed is far better than water cutting, but ignore the laser cutting in thickness is limited, such as only can cut the thickness of the metal material within 16mm, and there is a certain heat affected zone in the cutting edge. Water knife cutting is not the same, it can cut more than 30mm or even 100mm thickness of the material without problems, and has no effect on the material itself, can cut almost any material. Based on these factors, most people who are interested in choosing laser cutting choose water knife cutting instead.
