Shaping heat-sensitive components and thin-walled aluminum parts prone to distortion.

The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm.

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) technology has evolved beyond heavy-duty industrial cutting into a precise solution, specifically for creating intricate micro-channels in hard-to-machine materials. What is Abrasive Waterjet Micro-Milling?

The mechanical erosion process leaves a clean surface without the recast layers often found in wire EDM or laser cutting. Key Technical Insights

Standard tolerances can reach as low as ±0.01 mm , with surface roughness values (Ra) often below 0.8 µm in hard materials. Common Applications

Milling can be done with the workpiece submerged in water to reduce noise and contain debris. Submerged machining often results in narrower channels due to the surrounding fluid affecting the jet's expansion.
