Water jet, which uses high-pressure water as a knife to cut materials. Waterjet technology originated from the United States. After decades of development, the technology has become mature. High-pressure 400MPA high-pressure water can cut any material and is vigorously used in ceramics, stone, metal, glass, composite materials and many other industries.

Waterjets are usually divided into 3 axes, 4 axes, and 5 axes. What is the difference?

The three-axis waterjet is the most common waterjet equipment. It uses the three coordinate systems of X, Y, and Z to perform fixed and position cutting. The advantage is that the parameters used are few and the failure is good. The disadvantage is that it cannot cut through different angles.

The four-axis waterjet cutting machine tool adds a rotating axis C to the cutting head of an ordinary three-axis machine tool, and the cutting angle of ±5 can be controlled by the system. Especially in the parquet, it cuts a flat slope, so that the parquet can be formed at one time.

The five-axis waterjet equipment breaks the limitations of the traditional waterjet vertical cutting. By adding two servo rotating shafts on the basis of the traditional three-axis, the waterjet can realize automatic waterjet cutting at complex angles. The biggest feature of the five-axis is the precision cutting of the large bevel of ±45. In some complex parts, the parts can be formed at one time through the five-axis cutting, thereby reducing the huge mold opening cost.
