APW CNC water jet cut for stone metal and glass

There are four parts in our cnc water jet cut machine. They are intensifier pump; cutting table; CNC controller and Auto abrasive feeder.  

The technical parameters for cnc water jet cut machine showing in the following chart:

CNC water jet cut machine can cut almost any materials. Pure water jets can quickly and accurately cut soft materials such as rubber, foam and other gasket material. Abrasive water jets can cut almost any other material over a very wide range of thickness:

CNC water jet cut machine have got the consistant high praise from the customer at home and abroad during the 15 years development, there are many successful stories related to APW cnc water jet cut machine, we are looking forward to seeing you in our picture wall.

1. What are the benefits of purchasing a cnc water jet cut machine comparing CNC plasma or a laser ?

Versatility
Abrasive cnc water jet cut machine can cut almost anything – from metal to stone to glass to composites to ceramic.
Laser and plasma cut with heat, and so can only cut materials that have the right thermal properties. Metal is almost always the target material in industry for these heat-based processes. And mild steel is almost always the metal that is cut by them. In addition, plasma can only cut things that are electrically conductive. To optimize laser and plasma cutting, change to gasses is required. No change to waterjet parameters, except speed, is usually required for any material. 
Thickness

CNC water jet cut machine can cut very thin and up to 150mm (sometimes more) of any metal, glass, stone, composite, etc.
Laser cuts very thin and up to 20mm.
Plasma cuts from about 25mm up to 30mm.
Edge finish
Nothing cut by a plasma or laser will be as high of quality of an edge as a waterjet. We leave behind a smooth edge. No heat affected zones or mechanical stresses are introduced. The plasma and laser cut with heat (we cut with supersonic erosion). Plasma and laser therefore will leave behind a heat affected zones, mechanical stresses, and especially with plasma, dross 'drips' on the edge.

2. What kind of material does your machine can cut?

There are plenty materials our cnc water jet cut machine can cut , such as metal stone glass foam plastic rubber, ect.
4-axis was professionally designed for mable pattern and medallion.
5-axis was professionally designed for 3D materials.

3. What's your cnc water jet cut machine's max.cutting thickness?

The max.cutting thickness of our cnc water jet cut machine depends on the materials you cut .
Generally speaking, the thickness of our cnc water jet cut machine can be up to 150mm, virtually Z constraint is the only limit to thickness.

4. How much training is required to learn how to run a waterjet system?
An operator with no experience should be able to learn how to operate and maintain a waterjet cutting machine with as little as one weel of training. New CAD/CAM nesting software offered by APW make it possible for an operator with no programming experience to program the machine with only a few hours of training.
