    The document discusses a waterjet cutting machine, which uses a high-pressure stream of water, or a mixture of water and abrasive, to cut fabric layers. It has several key features, including a waterjet intensifier pump that creates a very high velocity stream. Waterjet cutting provides advantages like negligible thermal damage and no need for blade sharpening. Though it is best for softer materials and has some limitations for multi-layer fabrics. Overall, waterjet cutting is a flexible industrial tool for cutting a variety of materials in garment and other manufacturing.

    INTRODUCTION
    A water jet cutter, also known as a water jet, is an industrial tool capable of cutting fabric lay
    by using a very high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance.

    Water Jet Cutting Machines take cutting to the next level and increase your choices of greatly.

    A very fine water-jet is passed through a nozzle at a very high speed to cut the fabric lay.

    Thickness of the lay has an influence on cutting quality.


    INTRODUCTION
    Lower the thickness of the lay better will be the cutting quality.

    Like a normal saw, water is pumped onto the cutting wheel to reduce the heat that is created.
    Machine works more efficiently with less friction, so less need for replacing the cutting blades.

    Water used for jet needs filtration and de-ionization treatment.

    Water pressure, nozzle size, and cutting speed are inter-related to cutting quality.

    For doing this cutting ice table is used.


    WATERJET CUTTING MACHINE
    FEATURES
    In water jet cutter, water or mixture of water is
    used to cut fabric which is controlled by
    computer.
    Special software is used to cut fabric.
    A very high velocity (60,000 pounds/ square
    inch) and small diameter steam of water is
    created by a water jet intensifier pump.
    The high pressure jet acts as a solid tool and
    sharp knife which can easily cut the fabrics,
    leathers and plastic materials.
    FEATURES :
    As the jet penetrates successive plies in a spread, the
    momentum decreases and cutting ability is reduced. So,
    the lower lays of fabric cutting will be wide and less
    effective.

    The jet of water and loose fibers normally gets caught


    and drains away by a catcher. It is in the bottom of the
    fabric lays and moves with the same speed and the same
    direction of water jet.

    To improve the cutting speed, it is needed to adjust the


    pressure and radius of the jet.
    PURE WATER JET
    Cutting with purely water jet streams is referred to as
    ‘Pure water jet cutting’, while, cutting with a mixture of
    water and an abrasive substance is referred to as
    ‘Abrasive water jet cutting’.

    It has a greater precision of machining , the tolerance is


    in the order of + or -0.005 inch can be achieved easily

    This does not require the addition of abrasive but rather


    uses a pure water jet stream to cut.

    This cutting method often used to cut softer materials


    like fabric wood, rubber and more and widely used in the
    garment industry
    ADVANTAGES
    Most effective to cut soft materials such as such as paper, foam, plastic, rubber,
    leather, composites, and textiles

    Sound of cutting is less.

    The thermal damage to the workpiece is negligible due to no excess heat generation

    Higher cutting speed.

    The table is not cut as catcher is used.

    Since there is no solid knife so, no sharpening is required.


    DISAVANTAGES
    There is a danger of wet edges.

    Water spot may occur on fabric.

    High cost.

    Hard water causes rusting. So water must be filtered and de-ionized before use.

    As in the lower lay, water jet spreads out and then cut is wider and rough at the bottom of the spread.

    Not suitable for high lay of fabric.

    The sound of jet needs to be controlled .


    USES
    Used to cut both soft and hard materials but soft materials
    with more precision as comapred to hard materials. .

    CAD/CAM software combined with CNC controllers transfer


    drawings into a programmed path for the cutting head.

    Used for denim fabric and garment finishing.

    In the process called water-jet fading, strong jets of water


    remove color gradually until the fabric gets the desired shade
    of blue.

    These nonchemical procedures cause little damage to the


    fabric.
