What Is CNC Water Jet Cutting?

Découpe au jet d'eau CNC est un avancé technologie that uses a high-pressure stream of water (often mixed with abrasive particles) pour couper, forme, 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.​

À la base, le Aperçu du processus est 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, un jet d'eau pure (no abrasives) works perfectly.​

To explain “Comment ça marche” in plain terms: Think of a super-strong water hose that’s guided by a computer. The CNC (Contrôle numérique de l'ordinateur) system follows pre-programmed designs, moving the water jet nozzle with extreme accuracy to cut through materials—leaving clean, bords lisses. This is the essence of water jet basics: using water’s force, pas de chaleur, to achieve precise cuts.

The CNC Water Jet Cutting Process

Notre processus étape par étape is designed to ensure accuracy, efficacité, 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 (GOUJAT, 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 (Par exemple, épaisseur, précision).​
  1. Programming the CNC: Une fois la conception finalisée, our engineers convert it into a CNC-compatible program. The program defines the nozzle’s path, vitesse de coupe, water pressure, and whether abrasives are needed (pour avion d'eau abrasif coupe).​
  1. Configuration et calibrage: The material is secured to the cutting bed (to prevent movement during cutting). We calibrate the water pressure (adjusting from 30,000 à 90,000 PSI based on material hardness), align the nozzle, and load abrasives (si nécessaire). A test cut (on scrap material) ensures all settings are correct.​
  1. Réduction de l'exécution: The CNC system takes control—moving the nozzle along the programmed path. For hard materials like stainless steel, le avion d'eau abrasif (eau + grenat) slices through efficiently; for soft materials like rubber, le jet d'eau pure delivers clean cuts without damage.​

Post-Cutting Inspection: Après coupure, each part undergoes thorough inspection. We check dimensions (Utilisation des étriers, micromètres, et CMMS), qualité de bord, and adherence to tolerance requirements. Parts that pass move to finishing; any deviations are corrected immediately.

Key Advantages of CNC Water Jet Cutting

Par rapport aux méthodes de coupe traditionnelles (like laser cutting, coupure de plasma, ou sciage), Découpe au jet d'eau CNC offers unique benefits that make it ideal for diverse applications. Below are its top advantages:​

  1. Coupure de précision: 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 Zone affectée par la chaleur (Haz) (the area of material damaged by heat). This is critical for heat-sensitive materials like titanium, verre, et composites.
  1. Minimal Heat Affected Zone (Haz): No HAZ means no warping, craquage, or changes in material properties—ensuring parts retain their original strength and durability.​
  1. Versatilité: It cuts almost any material (métaux, pierre, verre, caoutchouc, composites)—so you can use one service for all your cutting needs, from automotive parts to art sculptures.​
  1. Aucune usure d'outil: 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. Respectueux de l'environnement: It uses water and natural abrasives (like garnet, which is recyclable) — no toxic fumes, scories, or hazardous waste. Water is also recycled in our closed-loop system, reducing consumption by 80%.​

Rentabilité: Déchets minimaux (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.

Techniques de fabrication avancées

To deliver exceptional results, Nous utilisons de la pointe water jet cutting techniques et cutting methods, optimized for different materials and applications. Here are the key ones:​

  • Avion d'eau abrasif: This technique mixes water with abrasive particles (garnet is most common) to cut hard materials like metal, pierre, et céramique. 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.​
  • Jet d'eau pure: Used for soft, delicate materials like rubber, mousse, plastique, 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 (Par exemple, dispositifs médicaux, électronique) — durable, with a lifespan of 500+ heures.
  • Ruby nozzles: For general-purpose cutting (Par exemple, pièces automobiles, pierre) — cost-effective, with a lifespan of 300+ heures.
  • Pressure Levels: We adjust water pressure based on material:​
  • 30,000–50,000 PSI: Matériaux mous (caoutchouc, plastique, mousse).​
  • 60,000–80,000 PSI: Medium-hard materials (aluminium, laiton, verre).​
  • 80,000–90,000 PSI: Matériaux durs (acier inoxydable, titane, granite).​

Vitesses de coupe: 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.
