On the Cutting Edge -- Waterjet Cutting Tools
From fuselages and wings, to the fenders of a Chevrolet Corvette, to armor panels on military vehicles, composite materials are showing up with greater frequency in a wide range of applications.

But cutting and trimming the composite will not be easy. Material is susceptible to oxidation and degradation from overheating. Carbon fiber is not good because they break off instead of cutting smoothly.

It is mainly the reason that waterjet cutting is emerging as one of the fastest equipment, today this growth. Grown accurate as technology and offer a non-contact cutting, waterjet cutting has spread from the aviation and aerospace and defense to electronics stores and stone work and tile industry.



"Waterjet machine to benefit the most, without regard to what it's cut is that it does not contact methods contrast with the absence of heat," Dick LeBlanc, executive vice president of technology manufacturing waterjet International. Flow International said. "You can go to some metal machine with very thick, and abrasive waterjet does not change the metal material It was a cutting cold.
