Can water jet cutting machine cut 300mm metal?

Yes, water jet cutting machines are capable of cutting metal up to a thickness of 300mm (11.8 inches) or even thicker, depending on the specific machine's capabilities. Water jet cutting is a versatile and precise cutting method that uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with an abrasive material to cut through various materials, including metals. The high-pressure water jet can erode the metal, while the added abrasive material enhances the cutting ability. This process allows for precise and intricate cuts in thick metal materials. However, it's worth noting that the cutting speed may vary depending on the thickness and type of metal being cut.

One of our steel customers asked us to cut 300mm ultra-thick metal steel. So how much thickness of material can the waterjet cut?

Common types of water cutting machines in industry include: robotic water jets, platform water jets, and portable water jets.

Choose different models according to different operating environments, such as outdoor oil tank demolition, ore removal in tunnel mining areas, abandoned cement columns mixed with steel bars at construction sites, etc. Portable water cutting can be used.

Car carpets, complex 3D processing, car dashboards, and ship composite panels can be drilled and drilled using robotic waterjet machines.

Glass, metal, marble, ceramics, alloy steel, medical special materials, circuit boards, and temperature-sensitive materials can be cut with a sand water cutting platform.

The cutting thickness of WINWIN waterjet can reach up to 300mm (steel). The cutting thickness is determined by the hardness and density of the material. The greater the hardness and density, the smaller the cutting thickness.

The cutting thickness is also related to the booster pump of the waterjet. The quality of the booster pump directly affects the cutting quality, cutting thickness, cutting speed and other factors of the waterjet.

So how to choose a suitable booster pump is the top priority. The customer knows that WIWNIN is the first manufacturer in China to put 90,000psi ultra-high pressure equipment into production. It has rich experience in ultra-high pressure equipment, so he proposed to us this According to the requirements, the cutting size of the platform is 4m*2m, and it can automatically load and unload materials. We have provided a set of design solutions for customers.

The WIN-WIN cantilever waterjet work platform is integrally processed by a large three-axis CNC machining center. Both the X-axis and Y-axis girders adopt a double-layer dustproof and waterproof structure, and are driven by high-quality ball screw guide rails and bus CNC systems.

Introduction to the main components of WINWIN water cutting platform

1. Cantilever structure, cutting platform and operating platform are designed to be separated to avoid the overall deformation of the machine due to the influence of the water tank load. The water tank WINWIN is made of 6mm thick steel plate. The equipped grid width is 80cm. It adopts an adjustable structure to make it more convenient for customers to use.

2. Equipped with a floor-standing turning platform point, which can automatically load and unload materials from three directions.

Floor-type loading system for large piece of steel cutting of 4 meters * 2 meters

Hydraulic lifting and some other designs can meet the requirement of metal cutting

Max load-bearing is 1000kg

WinWin patent product

The cutting table adapts WINWIN latest loading design, the max overturn angle can reach 75

The distance between loading material and ground is only 100mm

Good stability and guaranteed lifespan

The entire machine adopts a fully protective structure made of stainless steel, so it can work stably in any complex environment. The X-axis material of the water cutting machine platform is an aluminum alloy profile, which has high strength, is light in weight, and will not be permanently deformed. The Y-axis of the cutting machine platform uses a linear guide structure, which can ensure the stability of operation. The linear guide rail of large platforms is more stable than the screw structure.

WIN-WIN  90,000psi Pump

Our 90,000psi standard and servo system ultra-high pressure pumps represent the new quality standard of WIN-WIN waterjet system.

The newly designed end bell hard seal (HSEC) pressure intensifier determines the trend of the waterjet industry.

The following are the features of the 90,000psi ultra-high pressure pump

Long service life seals guaranteed for 500 hours (Terms & conditions apply)

UHP intensifier pump to achieve ultra-thick material cutting

Up to 300 mm material  thickness，Cutting pressure up to 90,000psi

Efficient cutting, saving 40% of time

Metal-to-metal seal design is more durable with no wear in the high pressure cylinder bore

Cutting with win-Win's abrasive garnet

WINWIN has a dedicated sand factory to produce high-quality 80 mesh garnet. Every time customers purchase WINWIN's sand, they purchase several containers, because high-quality sand can not only increase the cutting speed, but also improve the cutting accuracy and make the cut surface smoother. Smooth and no limit on the thickness of the cutting material

Since our customers are cutting 300mm ultra-thick metal, not only the thickness of the material is high, but also the hardness is high, and more importantly, it is used for a long time under ultra-high pressure of 90,000psi, ultra-high pressure 90,000psi machine is matched with the highest quality abrasive under this working pressure.

Advantages & Features

The above is the introduction of this set of cantilever structure water cutting machine. The choice of cantilever structure and gantry structure is also an aspect that many customers are concerned about. What is the difference between these two structures?

In fact, there is no difference between them in the size of the cutting material, the type of material processed, and the cutting head equipped. However, the water jet cutting machine with a cantilever structure is more convenient in loading materials. In addition, it also has the following features:

1. Cantilever operation is more convenient and easy to use;

2. Split structure has lower long-term maintenance costs than one-piece structure

3. The transmission system has a long service life away from the cutting area.

4. The transmission parts have little wear, high precision and good cutting consistency.

5. Because it is open laterally, a rotating mechanism can be easily installed on the workbench.

Water jet cutting machines play an irreplaceable role in pillar industries of the national economy such as engineering machinery, energy, transportation, steel metallurgy, automobile manufacturing, and electronic and electrical industries.
