Waterjet technology is basically the flow of water to the pump which then reaches pressures up to 100,000 psi and through high pressure tubing and out to the cutting head. There are two types of water jet cutting.

Water jet technology is basically the flow of water to the pump which then reaches pressures up
to 100,000 psi and through high pressure tubing and out to the cutting head. There are two types
of water jet cutting:
 Abrasive Water jet Cutting
 Pure Water jet Cutting
Abrasive Waterjet Cutting
Abrasive water jet cutting is more popular than pure waterjet
cutting. Abrasive waterjet cutting uses abrasive to erode the
material. The water jet cutting head needs to be close to the
material being cut. Abrasive water jet cutting is best for
increased production for many different types of applications.
These applications include Glass cutting (kitchen, shower
screens, bullet proof glass, inlays, stained glass etc.…) Exotic
Metals (steel cutting, titanium, aluminum, copper, stainless
steel, bronze, tool steel, nickel, alloys etc.….) Stone and Tile
cutting (floor inlays, wall inlays, custom tiles, custom flooring,
counter tops, etc.)

Pure Waterjet Cutting
Pure water jet cutting is used for applications that take in
consideration the speed of the waterjet cutting, reliability, and
minimal moisture residue. The moisture residue is very low
because of the very small stream (very small orifice streams)
and very high speeds. For that reason alone, pure waterjet
cutting is very popular in the paper industry. Pure water jet
cutting is very commonly used for the following industries,
slitting, paper, foam, fabric, insulation, diapers, plastics,
leather, and also used in food cutting such as cake and
produce.
