Precautions during the Water Jet Cutting

Waterjet cutting is becoming more popular around the world because of the versatility and the benefits it can provide to a wide range of industries. Water jet cutting technology is widely used in aerospace, automotive to food processing. It is very close to our common life as well.

Everyone knows that water is "soft" and has no shape, however, water jet cutting uses water to become the "sharpest" cutting tool. The cutting tool can cut kinds of metals, stones, glass, and foods under high pressure. The power of the water jet is from the pressure and abrasives and the strongest water jet can easily cut even 30 cm steel plates. The water jet cuts different applications then the power also is different. However, no matter which water jet cutting is not an ordinary person can withstand if the water is cut to the body. So it is essential to keep a certain distance from the water jet machine. And use them correctly and comply with the usage specifications. Then it will decrease the accidents and extend the machine's working life as well.
