CNC Water Jet Machine For Stone Cutting

CNC Water Jet Machine For Stone

CNC water jet stone cutting machine is made up of several critical key componnents, such as intensifier pump; cutting table with cutting head; CNC controller; auto abrasive delivery system.Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process that eliminates slag deformation and dross waste-unfortunate effects found in plasma and laser cutting process. Moreover APW waterjet enable you to cut a variety of applications with ease. Whatever the shape, dimension or material, our easy-to-use software makes the job easy.

In this area, the most commonly cut materials are concrete, granite, marble, sandstone and tiles. Waterjet cutting is the ideal method for the production of inlays and company logos or the cutting of floor and wall covering elements. It opens up a whole new field for creative designs and solutions. As the cutting gap width is minimal, no material is wasted. The technology is also very suitable for the cutting of combined materials, for example inlays in stone and metal or combinations of tiles and glass.

As stone and tiles have a low ductility, we recommend producing the first hole with a reduced cutting pressure of 800 bar. This minises the risk of chipping and cracking. For sandstone, the amount of abrasive can be reduced, as the loosened stone particles serve as a natural abrasive.
