Axiome - Pure Water Jet Cutting Machine
AXIOME designs single or multiple robot cutting solutions for pure water jet cutting in order to meet the needs of its customers in different sectors such as:
- Automotive
- Insulation cutting
- Food industry
The principle of robotic water jet cutting consists in projecting water at a very high speed: 600 to 900 metres / second, i.e. 2 to 3 times the speed of sound. The water, via an Ultra High Pressure pump, from 2,000 to 4,000 bars is then directed to an accumulator and propelled through a nozzle with a diameter of 0.10 to 0.40 mm.
This process is used on thin soft materials:
- Plastics
- Carpets
- Foam
- Soundproofing materials
- Rubber
- Composites
- Combination of textile and NFPP
The number of cutting heads, the pressure and flow rate of each nozzle and the robot tip are adapted to the materials and parts to be cut.
Cutting of automotive parts
AXIOME designs machines integrating polyarticulated robots - single or double - robots, especially for the automotive sector, and adapts according to the cutting and production rate.
Cutting soft materials
The pure water jet cutting technology allows to obtain a high quality result on soft materials such as flexible plastic, woodstock, rubber, foam, polypropylene...
AXIOME has already cut parts such as floor mats, boot linings, tailgates, shock absorbing beams, door panels...
Food industry
Pure water jet cutting offers many advantages for cutting products from the food industry: fast cutting without direct contact with the food product, no cutting effort and no deformation or crushing of the product, and finally a technology adapted to any type of food.
