Comparison of water jet cutter with other cutting machines
Comparison of water jet cutter and laser cutting machine: the investment of laser cutting equipment is relatively large. Most of them are used for cutting thin steel plates and some non-metallic materials. The cutting speed is faster and the accuracy is high. However, the laser cutting will cause arcs at the cutting seam. In addition, laser cutting is not ideal for some materials, such as aluminum, copper and other non-ferrous metals and alloys, especially for thicker metal plates. The cutting surface is not ideal or even impossible to cut. People's research on high-power laser generators is trying to solve the cutting of thick steel plates, but the cost of equipment investment, maintenance and operation consumption is huge. Waterjet cutting has low investment, low operating cost, wide range of cutting materials, high efficiency, and convenient operation and maintenance.
Comparison of water jet cutter and plasma cutting machine: Plasma cutting has obvious thermal effect, low precision, and it is not easy to perform secondary processing on the cut surface. Water cutting is a cold cutting, no thermal deformation, good quality of the cutting surface, basically no need for secondary processing, if necessary, it is easy to perform secondary processing.
Comparison of water jet cutter and wire cutting machine: For metal processing, wire cutting has higher precision, but the speed is very slow. Sometimes other methods need to be used to perforate and thread to cut, and the cutting size is greatly limited. Cutting can perforate and cut any material, the cutting speed is fast, and the processing size is large.
