Waterjet Cutting

The OMAX advanced abrasive waterjet systems from Hypertherm Associates offers robust technology tools to help companies looking to integrate Smart Factory processes and digitalization into their operations.

Carbide-tipped saw blades effectively tackle difficult-to-machine workpiece materials like titanium, stainless steel, heat-resistant superalloys, and more.

Optimizing coolant selection and mixing boosts cutting performance, extends tool life, and reduces costs. Discover key insights for smarter machining.

DescriptionnJake Brown shares highlights from FABTECH 2024, where Hypertherm showcased its latest advancements in plasma and water jet cutting. The XPR 460 plasma system, now integrated by all OEMs, took center stage, along with the PowerMax, the industry's top-selling handheld plasma cutter.

Waterjet cutting works as simply as it is effective: the cutting head directs a fine jet of water at high pressure of up to 6,000 bar, a jet diameter of 0.38 to 1.02 millimeters. In this stress-free cutting process, the material particles close to the surface are cut off without any heat being introduced into the material.

The delta variant of the coronavirus, a shortage of semiconductors, logistics challenges and a scarcity of skilled labor are affecting the rebound of manufacturing, but there is reason for optimism.n
