Waterjet making the cut

Applications
The spectrum of applications for waterjet cutting ranges from the delicate to the stalwart. FDA regulations allow the use of waterjet technology in cutting food items such as cakes, French fries, steak, poultry and fish. Waterjets have proven themselves as both efficient and sanitary.

On the other extreme, abrasive waterjet systems (AWJ) bombard armor plating used in the assembly of M1 tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles. In between lies a wide spectrum of other applications. Artists, interior designers and shipbuilders are among the many who are embracing waterjet technology. Industries such as paper, textile, aeronautics and steel are routinely incorporating the technology into their manufacturing process.

Waterjet Cutting Stone

Waterjet technology is performing old tasks in a new efficient manner. Complex and intricate designs and mosaics made of tile, stone and glass - often used in decorative surfaces and corporation logos - are now executed with the aid of a waterjet. Many of the projects would have been impossible to create without a waterjet because of the intricacy of the design and the fragile nature of the materials.

Watetjets are also helping ease the burden of rising medical costs. It’s a technology helping technology.


Executing Classical Art
Water jet technology put Florida produced a special type of cutting edge rock. Interior designers have a special project in mind, the body of the rock by years of detailed and Border Medal. Medallion and detailed with intricate swirls good for Hall of the House a list of customers. Marble is a material that needs some fine swirls chiseled from marble - a nightmare, even by the standards of Michelangelo.

Stone Company confidently accepted the challenge and believe they are supported by their ability waterjet their companies and interior designers work together to refine the coins and the border. Content with the first version of the coin, they have been assigned to write a computer program waterjet. Their vision has been scanned and digitized into the computer, which will eventually match the waterjet cutting head.

Preliminary plan quickly became a blueprint for creating this Concept paper is ready for work in stone. Interior designers and customers marbleyard strolled through them before the color palette, rock spectrum of their colors. Here they choose materials that will eventually be their vision.
Returning to the computer, the precise shade of the marble selected is stored in a computer of a coin that started life Technicians in place to take the actual measurements; Border alone would be almost 300 linear feet of six foot rest with coins inside.
Fabrication as Controlled by a computer, head waterjet marble had fallen over and start the process so common in nature: water erosion bombarded with garnet marble swirls furiously out quickly and accurately.

 How to cut other cracks or explosive material, waterjet left to puzzle pieces accurately and completely. Several months later and about 450 pieces, the invention of coins and the border completely. Pieces of marble in three colors at the edge difference of a six by eight inches, and contains modules for installation of coin, made in six different colors of marble and highlighted with Lapis Lazuli, assembled in one piece. Packing puzzles and maps are ready for delivery.

Onsite, module borders and are equipped with medallions, leveled and polished to this computer, water, and tools to polish. Art decorated entryway to occur among the pieces hanging on the wall light, the richness of marble and Lapis total for understated dignity Vision of interior designer, is now cast in stone.
