Do parts need cleaning after waterjet cutting and how is abrasive residue handled?
Yes, workpieces generally require light cleaning after abrasive waterjet cutting. Although the process uses only water and natural garnet abrasive, a small amount of abrasive residue, water, and fine particles remain on the part surface and edges after cutting. Cleaning is simple and usually adds minimal time to the production cycle.Read more -
What materials are used for waterjet cutting tables and why stainless or carbon steel?
The cutting table supports the workpiece and contains water and abrasive. Carbon steel offers strength and low cost but needs corrosion protection. Stainless steel 304 or 316L provides superior corrosion resistance for coastal, food-grade, or medical use, though it costs 30% to 50% more. Aluminum and composite slats serve as sacrificial support grids. Winwin offers complete waterjet equipment withRead more -
How is the workpiece fixtured during waterjet cutting and are special fixtures needed?
Waterjet cutting exerts extremely low force, so workholding is simple and rarely needs special fixtures. Common methods include support grids, edge clamps, vacuum chucks, magnetic fixtures, rotary chucks, and micro-tabs. Winwin offers complete waterjet equipment and global after-sales support.Read more -
What CNC systems are used on waterjet machines and how do I choose?
Waterjet CNC systems range from PC-based open platforms like Beckhoff to integrated solutions like OMAX and Flow. Selection depends on precision, budget, and operator skill. Winwin offers customizable waterjet equipment with worldwide after-sales service.Read more -
Can a waterjet cut composites and will carbon fiber or fiberglass delaminate?
Abrasive waterjet cuts composites without delamination, fraying, or fiber pull-out. The cold erosion process preserves resin and fiber integrity. Winwin offers composite-optimized waterjet systems and worldwide after-sales service.Read more -
What types of cutting heads are available and what is the difference between single, dual, and multi
Waterjet cutting heads are classified as single-head, dual-head, or multi-head. Single-head maximizes power and depth; dual-head and multi-head boost throughput for smaller parts. Winwin offers complete waterjet systems and worldwide after-sales service.Read more
