WATERJET CUTTING
Waterjet cutting
Waterjet cutting, also known as abrasive waterjet cutting, is a modern machining technique that uses a water-abrasive stream for precision cutting of components.
At Automationstechnik, we perform waterjet cutting using the WaterJet MAXIEM 2030 machine. The MAXIEM 2030 can cut elements with maximum dimensions of 2.00 m x 3.05 m.
We work with the following materials:
- Metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium)
- Stone and ceramics (granite, marble, ceramic tiles)
- Glass (both standard and tempered)
- Plastics (acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC)
- Composites (carbon fiber, fiberglass)
- Foam materials and sponges
- Wood and wood-based material
The cutting is done based on CAD drawing files. Thanks to a special cutting head, we offer flexible angle cutting.
Technical data for the WaterJet MAXIEM 2030:
- Size (with pump and controller): 5.49 m x 4.01 m
- Height (with scissor high-pressure system): 2.69 m
- Operating weight: 10,629 kg
- Weight (empty tank): 3,402 kg
- X-Y cutting travel: 3.04 m x 2.00 m
- Z-axis travel (Z-axis drive): 304 mm
- Table size: 3.71 m x 2.13 m

Advantages of waterjet cutting
Advantages of waterjet cutting:
- Precision – allows for highly accurate shapes with minimal additional processing, ideal for creating complex details.
- No thermal effect – eliminates the risk of material deformation, burning, or structural changes that can occur with tools like lasers or plasma.
- Ability to cut a wide range of materials (metal, glass, stone, ceramics, plastic, rubber, and composite materials).
- Safety – does not generate intense heat or sparks, reducing the risk of fire or injury.
Applications of waterjet cutting:
- Automotive industry: Precision cutting of components, parts, and prototypes.
- Aerospace industry: Processing of advanced composite materials and metals.
- Construction: Cutting stone, ceramic tiles, and other building materials.
- Art and crafts: Creating intricate designs and details in various materials.
