Method of computer controlled water jet cutting


Features:
Cutting head is nozzle movable but fabric stationary. A very high velocity small diameter of water is created by applying high pressure water to a nozzle. Generally water pressure is 60,000 Lb /  the high pressure jet acts as a solid tool when it encounters the materials to be cut. Catcher collects loose fibres when cut the fibre. Cutting head nozzle is driven by computer control.

 Advantage:
  •  Very fast cutting operation.
  •  Not require to sharp the blade.
  •  The table is not cut as catcher is used.

Disadvantage:
  •   Not possible to fulfill the cutting requirement as water spot may be on          fabric.
  •   Capital costs are high.
  •   Not suitable for cutting fabric of more lay height
  •   There is a danger of wet edges.
  •   The sound of jet may be controlled.
