Waterjet cutting 

Economic

  • Optimised use of raw material
  • Speed

Ecologic

  • Cutting technique with water and sand
  • Waste water treatment plant and water recovery
  • No toxic gases


Perfection

  • Extremely accurate
  • Tolerances form +/-0.1  ; +/-0.2mm depending on product
  • No material deformation
  • Very fine clean cut


Waterjet cutting is a cold manufacturing  process that actually works no different than a very strongly accelerated form of erosion. Water has been cutting the earth's crust for millions of years. This is how, for example, the Grand Canyon was created.
Thanks to the grit that is taken along, water is able to hollow out and wear down the hardest of materials. This is what waterjet cutting accomplishes, but with the big difference that the time during which this takes place is much shorter, thanks to the high pressure employed.
 
Under a high pressure of 3,500 bar to 6,000 bar, water is forced through a small nozzle of the cutting head. With the added abrasive sand, the water leaves the cutting head at a speed of about twice the speed of sound. The impact energy on the material to be cut creates a cut of approximately 1 millimeter. Soft materials can often be cut with pure water.

Qualifications and certificates

EN 9100

At L&D Jet Techniek, we meet the strictest standards and conditions that apply to our activities and techniques, including ISO 9001 and EN 9100.

What is EN 9100?
EN 9100 is one of the standards developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to support the aerospace and defense industries in Europe. It contains the basic requirements for the quality management systems of companies active in these sectors.

Why EN 9100? Isn't there already ISO 9001?
The standard broadly follows the ISO 9001 standard, but EN 9100 raises the bar in many areas. The stricter quality and safety requirements are necessary, given the enormous production costs and the high risk of the products that are used. The aim is for the entire logistics chain of the aerospace and defense industries to implement the EN 9100 requirements.
