What should I send when requesting a waterjet cutting solution?
Send your material grade, thickness range, maximum workpiece size, sample drawing, required finish and expected production volume. These details help match the cutting process and machine configuration to your application.
What is the difference between pure water and abrasive waterjet cutting?
Pure waterjet cutting uses water without added abrasive for suitable soft materials. Abrasive waterjet cutting adds abrasive particles and is commonly used for metals, stone and glass. Confirm the process with a representative material trial.
How should I plan maintenance for a waterjet machine?
Follow the model-specific operation and maintenance manuals. Keep records of operating hours, consumable changes, inspections and service work. Ask APW for the recommended spare parts and training for your installed configuration.
