- 5. Flow – Waterjets ! the high pressure awj cutting technology basic principles • water is pressurized by UHP Pumps up to 4150 bar or more and through plumbing, is forced to a cutting head generating an high pressure water flow. • In the cutting head, a small amount of abrasive (garnet) is mixed into the jet stream and focused. • The resulting "abrasive waterjet" can cut virtually any hard material such as metal, composites, stone and glass up to 300 mm thickness • With a cutting table, driven by the intelligent PC based control FlowMaster, every shape and materials can be cut
- 6. Flow – Waterjets ! the high pressure awj cutting technology basic principles • Material separation is obtained thanks to the kinetic energy of the jet stream. • Waterjet produce net-shaped parts with no heat-affected zone, heat distortion, or mechanical stresses caused by other cutting methods, • One “tool” for drilling and cutting • Clean and enviroment friendly tecnique

Editor's Notes
- Garnet sand, approximately 80 mesh, is sucked by venturi effect into the mixing chamber. The abrasive is sized the same as 80 grit sand paper. The abrasive is accelerated like a bullet out of a rifle. Finer mesh size produces a finer surface finish. Materials cut with an abrasive Waterjet include aluminum all steels - stainless, mild, tool, etc... brass, copper inconel titanium glass marble, granite, or other stones composites, like graphite epoxy, kevlar, fiberglass ceramics, like aluminum oxide tungsten carbide virtually anything
