The key strengths of waterjet cutting technology are versatility and environmental friendliness. Water which is abundantly available is the key raw material of waterjet technology and hence no other raw material cost is involved. In terms of environmental friendliness, the technology is a cold cutting process and environment friendly unlike laser cutting or plasma cutting. The versatility of cutting any soft or hard material is the key strength of waterjet cutting machines. The technology of this machine includes the cold cutting process and environmental friendly unlike laser or plasma cutting.
Soft materials such as wood and rubber can collapse under high-temperature environments. Research scientists suggest the use of high-pressure technologies to break through such brittle materials. Moreover, pressure-based technologies have proved more effective in shaping of objects as against other methods. Therefore, the global waterjet cutting machinery market is set to attract massive revenues in the years to follow.
Waterjet cutting technique is better than other metal cutting techniques such as laser cutting, plasma cutting among other, as waterjet cutting technique can be used to cut a variety of metals, is environmental friendly, can cut more thicker metals compared to other metal cutting techniques, etc. In waterjet cutting techniques, the cut metal is not thermally deformed as no heat is used in the cutting process
Trends and Opportunities
Automation of manufacturing activities has created the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), and Industry 4.0 is the term given to current trends in industrial automation. China which is known as the factory of the world is increasingly using automation technologies to increase its industrial output. As per United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)’s Industrial Development Report 2018, world manufacturing activity was valued at US$ 5,643.0 Billion MVA in 1990 which in 2000 increased to US$ 7,535.0 Billion MVA and in 2016 was US$ 12,316 Billion MVA. The MVA CAGR (1990-2000) was 2.9% and CAGR (2000-2016) was 3.1%. Globally, rising manufacturing activity is increasing the demand for waterjet cutting machinery.
Waterjet cutting technology is a cold cutting process and does not create any HAZ; hence,there is no thermal deformation of materials that are cut. These machines can perform minute cutting jobs with a high level of precision and minimum kerf. A kerf is defined as width of a cut made by a waterjet cutting machine. These machines are environment friendly as they cut materials without producing any heat, dust, or smoke like other cutting technologies such as laser cutting or plasma cutting. Water a naturally found material, therefore no additional cost is involved in sourcing of raw materials. Due to all these factors, globally there is an increasing demand for waterjet cutting machines.
