Water Jet Cutting
 
• Glasslite’s water jet cutting adds to our flexible range of services.
With this process the intensifier pump pushes a water jet at 55,000 PSI of pressure into a self-aligning
cutting head which is moved by a CNC control system. The water, ejected through the gauged orifice at 3
times the speed of sound, is mixed with abrasive and cuts any shape.
Benefits of Water Jet Cutting:
 
• Cost effective as opposed to low production methods with
  high manual labour costs.
 
• High performance accuracy 0.1mm, rapid set up times,
  no tooling.
 
• Minimum material waste.
 
• Compatibility with other processes absence of thermal
  and mechanical deformation.
 
• Versatile Glasslite specialises in water jet cutting glass,
  the process is also capable of cutting any material e.g.
aluminium, brass, marble, plastic, rubber, stainless steel,
