A waterjet is a beam type cutter, somewhat like a plasma, oxy acetylene, CO2 laser, or fiber laser. Programming a waterjet, and operating one for that matter, is actually simple. In fact, a waterjet is usually considered to be easier to program and operate than most other machine tools. I say this because a waterjet typically does not require a change in parameters when going from one material to another. The tool is non-contact, pierces material easily to start a cut, and cuts without heat so materials don’t change or warp from the cutting process. If you are newer to this blog, on what makes up a waterjet might be a good precursor to reading this post. With waterjet, the same cutting parameters are used when cutting aluminum, glass, or titanium; only cut speed is changed. Most of my customers run with the same process parameter set on everything they cut; the same water orifice size, the same abrasive mesh size, the same abrasive flow rate, the same water pressure, and the same standoff distance between nozzle tip is used for almost all materials. It is actually quite amazing. Kind of like the way you use one chain saw to cut down any species of tree, and you usually run the chainsaw at full speed when cutting. But the waterjet beam is not rigid when it is cutting the material –.

FlowPath is Flow’s 2d CAD and cut pathing software. It includes easy-to-use CAD drawing tools and many waterjet specific features. Thanks in large part to a high number of levels, Flow Free is an entertaining connect-the-dots game. With total dedication to waterjet cutting, IGEMS is a modern software that makes it easy to design and cut parts on waterjet cutting machines.
The way the jet behaves in material influences how you program a part. On advanced waterjet machines with, the program will automatically slow down on the corners and speed up on the straights to avoid the corner wash out. Even more advanced systems, which happen to be our most popular, actually to compensate for stream lag and taper, thereby producing parts much faster and tighter tolerance. So, for our example of programming a part let’s assume that we have an intelligent controller that is capable of handling all of the corner slow-downs. We need to get a pattern into the machine tool controller. To do this, we draw the pattern in a CAD (computer aided design) software package.
