Overcoming Thick Material Challenges

Challenge: Beam Deflection

Thick materials can cause the waterjet stream to deflect, affecting cut quality.

Solution: Our advanced cutting head technology and parameter optimization maintain beam straightness through thick sections.

Challenge: Cutting Speed

Thick materials require slower cutting speeds to maintain quality.

Solution: Optimized cutting parameters balance speed with quality for efficient thick material processing.

Challenge: Edge Quality

Maintaining smooth edge finish through thick sections.

Solution: Variable cutting parameters ensure consistent edge quality from top to bottom of thick materials.
