Glass & Mirror cutting

When you need reliable water jet cutting solutions, Medalco has you covered

Water jet machining is a cold cutting process that makes it suitable for automotive, medical and aerospace applications where the product can not be affected by heat.Almost every type of cutting is possible, from the use of water jet tables for quick hole drilling to detailed cuts for most industrial applications.

Key Benefits of Cutting Glass with Water jet

Cut complex patterns easily
Increased productivity, fast cutting and high-quality parts
Minimal kerf allows incredible detail
Raw material savings
Low operating cost Omni-directional cutting, even at tight inside corners
No need for extensive part clamping, minimal lateral or vertical forces
Single-pass cutting, depending on material thickness
Cut glass geometry that can not be done by common machining

Advantages of Water jet Cutting Compared to Laser Cutting

Cut Almost Any Type Of Material

Compared with other fabrication techniques, waterjets can handle just about any material or product that a traditional cutters can. In addition, materials like plastics, rubber, laminated materials, stone, glass, or materials with uneven surfaces can all be handled through waterjet cutting.

No Heat Affected Zone with Waterjet

Since Waterjet cutting does not generate extreme heat it does not change the properties of metal nor causing any thermal distortion. On the other hand this can occur with laser cutting.

Waterjets are Environmentally Friendly

Abrasive Waterjets will typically use garnet as the abrasive material.Garnet is non-reactive that is biologically inert. Waterjets also use much less water than may imagine thanks to its closed-looped system.

Better Tolerances on Thicker Parts

Better Edge Finish

Waterjets cut with fine sanded-blasted surface finish, which makes it easier to make a high-quality weld for that part. Laser cut material appears to have a rougher, scaly edge which may require additional work and machining to clean up.
