What Is CNC Water Jet Cutting?

Corte de chorro de agua CNC es un avanzado tecnología that uses a high-pressure stream of water (often mixed with abrasive particles) para cortar, forma, or engrave a wide range of materials. Unlike heat-based cutting methods, it relies on the force of water to slice through materials—making it ideal for heat-sensitive substrates.​

En su núcleo, el descripción general del proceso es simple: A high-pressure pump (generating up to 90,000 PSI) forces water through a tiny nozzle (as small as 0.1mm in diameter). For hard materials like metal or stone, abrasive particles (such as garnet) are added to the water stream to enhance cutting power; for soft materials like rubber or foam, a chorro de agua pura (no abrasives) works perfectly.​

To explain “Cómo funciona” in plain terms: Think of a super-strong water hose that’s guided by a computer. The CNC (Control numérico de la computadora) system follows pre-programmed designs, moving the water jet nozzle with extreme accuracy to cut through materials—leaving clean, bordes suaves. This is the essence of water jet basics: using water’s force, not heat, to achieve precise cuts.

The CNC Water Jet Cutting Process

Nuestro proceso paso a paso is designed to ensure accuracy, eficiencia, and consistency from start to finish. Each phase is closely monitored to meet your exact specifications:

  1. Design and Preparation: We start by reviewing your design files (CANALLA, DXF, etc.) or collaborating with you to create a design. Our team checks for feasibility—ensuring the design aligns with the chosen material’s properties and your cutting goals (P.EJ., espesor, precisión).
  1. Programming the CNC: Una vez que se finaliza el diseño, our engineers convert it into a CNC-compatible program. The program defines the nozzle’s path, velocidad de corte, water pressure, and whether abrasives are needed (para chorro de agua abrasivo corte).
  1. Setup and Calibration: The material is secured to the cutting bed (to prevent movement during cutting). We calibrate the water pressure (adjusting from 30,000 a 90,000 PSI based on material hardness), align the nozzle, and load abrasives (si es necesario). A test cut (on scrap material) ensures all settings are correct.​
  1. Ejecución de corte: The CNC system takes control—moving the nozzle along the programmed path. For hard materials like stainless steel, el chorro de agua abrasivo (agua + granate) slices through efficiently; for soft materials like rubber, el chorro de agua pura delivers clean cuts without damage.​

Post-Cutting Inspection: Después de cortar, each part undergoes thorough inspection. We check dimensions (Usando calibradores, micrómetros, y CMMS), calidad de borde, and adherence to tolerance requirements. Parts that pass move to finishing; any deviations are corrected immediately.

Key Advantages of CNC Water Jet Cutting

Compared to traditional cutting methods (like laser cutting, corte de plasma, o aserrar), Corte de chorro de agua CNC offers unique benefits that make it ideal for diverse applications. Below are its top advantages:

  1. Corte de precisión: With tolerances as tight as ±0.05mm, parts fit together seamlessly—reducing assembly time and waste, especially for complex designs.​
  1. Cold Cutting Process: Unlike heat-based methods, it produces no heat during cutting—eliminating the Zona afectada por el calor (Cría) (the area of material damaged by heat). This is critical for heat-sensitive materials like titanium, vaso, y compuestos.
  1. Minimal Heat Affected Zone (Cría): No HAZ means no warping, agrietamiento, or changes in material properties—ensuring parts retain their original strength and durability.​
  1. Versatilidad: It cuts almost any material (rieles, piedra, vaso, goma, compuestos)—so you can use one service for all your cutting needs, from automotive parts to art sculptures.​
  1. Sin desgaste de herramientas: The water jet nozzle (made of diamond or ruby) lasts for thousands of cuts, and abrasives are replaceable at low cost—reducing tool replacement expenses compared to saws or drills.​
  1. Respetuoso con el medio ambiente: It uses water and natural abrasives (like garnet, which is recyclable) — no toxic fumes, slag, or hazardous waste. Water is also recycled in our closed-loop system, reducing consumption by 80%.​

Rentabilidad: Desperdicio mínimo (narrow kerf width of 0.1–0.5mm) reduces material costs. No tool changes (one setup works for all materials) and low maintenance also lower labor and operational costs.

Técnicas de fabricación avanzadas

To deliver exceptional results, Usamos de vanguardia water jet cutting techniques y cutting methods, optimized for different materials and applications. Here are the key ones:

  • Chorro de agua abrasivo: This technique mixes water with abrasive particles (garnet is most common) to cut hard materials like metal, piedra, and ceramics. The abrasives enhance the water stream’s cutting power, allowing it to slice through 300mm-thick stainless steel efficiently. We adjust abrasive flow rates (5–20 kg/hour) based on material hardness.​
  • Chorro de agua pura: Used for soft, delicate materials like rubber, espuma, plástico, and thin glass. No abrasives are added—just high-pressure water (30,000–60,000 PSI) to deliver clean, precise cuts without damage.​
  • Nozzle Types: We use two main nozzle types:
  • Diamond nozzles: For high-precision cuts (P.EJ., dispositivos médicos, electrónica) — durable, with a lifespan of 500+ horas.
  • Ruby nozzles: For general-purpose cutting (P.EJ., piezas automotrices, piedra) — cost-effective, with a lifespan of 300+ horas.
  • Pressure Levels: We adjust water pressure based on material:
  • 30,000–50,000 PSI: Materiales blandos (goma, plástico, espuma).
  • 60,000–80,000 PSI: Medium-hard materials (aluminio, latón, vaso).
  • 80,000–90,000 PSI: Materiales duros (acero inoxidable, titanio, granite).

Velocidades de corte: Speed varies by material thickness and hardness—for example, 10m/min for 10mm aluminum, 2m/min for 50mm stainless steel, and 5m/min for 20mm glass.
