Q

2. Describe the process in which waterjet cuts acrylic.

Different units use the Waterjet cutting technology to cut plastic or at relief products. The thin and transparent waterjet streams do not cause any harm to the material while cutting. Even the water does not get absorbed into the material and maintains the moral integrity of the material.

Apart from that, this technology does not create any heat-affected zone. At the same time, it leaves the material with a precise cut. The clean-cut and smooth finish eliminates the second operation of the toll for having a perfect finish. Therefore, the efficiency of the perfect cut on acrylic makes the waterjet one of the most competent tools for acrylic cutting.

Q

3. What is abrasive waterjet acrylic cutting?

The abrasive waterjet acrylic cutting is a technique in which the waterjet nozzles project the abrasive particles at high speed. It somehow erodes the material that you are working with.

It is done to enhance the waterjet as the abrasive materials are further added to the water and given pressure of 400 MPa. It enables them to come out at a speed of 900 m per second. This process can induce the water wedging action of abrasives.

However, if you control the particle flow rate and the reverse speed of the waterjet acrylic cutting machine, it will decrease water wedging behavior.

Q

4. What components comprise the waterjet acrylic cutters?

The waterjet acrylic cutter has different components. The base contains a catcher that holds the machine. However, the other components are the cutting head, abrasive waterjet, water providing tube, pump, high-pressure tube, and abrasive Hopper.

Some companies offer only bacteria dissolved solids in the water, but you should go for the TDS.

Q

11. What is the best way of processing the used abrasive?

Abrasives can be processed in two ways. It depends upon the application of grains into the workpiece. In the case of a bonded abrasive process, the particles are put together within a particular matrix. Their combined shape, however, determines the geometrical shape of the finished products. For instance, in the case of grinding, the particles are held bonded together in the wheel.

Whereas in the case of loose abrasives, the structure does not connect to the grain. These can be applied without any lubrication. Since in this case, the grains can move independently.

Q

12. Does your waterjet acrylic cutter leave a small cone on the objects?

The waterjet acrylic cutter has an excellent cutting quality; therefore, it leaves an excellent quality crisp cut. It provides a burr-free finish. Therefore there is no scope that a waterjet acrylic cutter might leave a small cone on the object, unlike the plasma or laser cutters which can leave slag or sharp burrs.

Q

13. What factors cause a difference in the cutting accuracy of your waterjet acrylic cutter?

Some factors cause accurate cutting when you use a waterjet acrylic cutter. The cold cutting technology creates the most accurate cut in the material. Also, using pure water completely melts the material and does not produce any unwanted flat.

The pre-drill pilot makes the accurate hole into the what piece. It somehow increases the production complexity.

Q

18. What abrasives need to be used in waterjet acrylic cutting?

Abrasives are one of the essential materials that are required to cut acrylic with the help of waterjet acrylic cutters. However, choosing suitable acrylics becomes vital to get a precise cut.

The waterjet acrylic cutter can use abrasives like silica sand, Aluminum oxide, garnet, or silicon carbide. With the abrasives, you can easily cut through the material even if the thickness of it tends to be 5 inches.

Q

19. How much water pressure is needed to cut acrylic with waterjet cutters?

The abrasives do all the work; without abrasives, speed cutting won’t be possible. If you include more abrasives, you will have more pressure that will lead to faster cutting. With a water pressure of 10000 to 60000, you can achieve speed cutting on the acrylic. If you provide higher pressure, the cutting speed will start breaking down. Therefore you have to put pressure of less than 60000 so that the acrylic does not break down.

Q

20. Is your waterjet cutter efficient in cutting acrylic perfectly?

The waterjet cutter cuts the material in depth. If you have incredibly thick material, then waterjet cutting will be considered your to-go tool. One can efficiently cut acrylic. Even if you have the thickest acrylic measuring 5 inches thick, you can efficiently cut the acrylic perfectly.
