Corte por jato de água até 150 mm, em qualquer material
Corte a frio, sem zona afetada pelo calor, em aço, inox, alumínio, cobre, cerâmica, pedra e compósitos.
Como funciona o corte por jato de água?
O corte por jato de água usa água a altíssima pressão, combinada com abrasivo quando necessário, para cortar materiais de elevada espessura e dureza. O processo é totalmente a frio. Não gera zona afetada pelo calor, não deforma e não altera a estrutura do material. O resultado é um corte preciso, de bordos limpos, que preserva as propriedades originais da peça.
Trabalhamos em corte 2D, em chapa e placa, tanto para peça única como para série.

Marca de referência mundial em jato de água, com capacidade para produção contínua.
A sua peça é para jato de água ou para laser?
Nem todas as peças pedem a mesma tecnologia. O jato de água corta a frio, sem alterar o material, e chega a espessuras e a materiais que o laser não alcança. O laser é mais rápido e mais económico em chapa metálica fina, sobretudo em série. A escolha certa depende do material, da espessura e do acabamento que precisa. Se tiver dúvidas, envie o desenho. Analisamos a peça e indicamos a tecnologia mais adequada, sem custo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum cutting thickness?
The TSwaterjet waterjet cuts materials up to 150 mm thick. The actual capacity depends on the material and geometry: harder or denser materials are cut at a slower speed, but the maximum thickness remains high, because the process uses high-pressure water with an abrasive rather than heat. It is when cutting thicker materials that waterjet cutting outperforms laser cutting, which is limited to thinner sheet metal. For parts thicker than 150 mm, please send us the drawing so that we can assess feasibility.
Which materials can be cut using waterjet cutting?
Virtually all of them. Waterjet cutting can cut carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass, as well as non-metallic materials such as ceramics, marble, stone, glass, composites and polymers. As the cutting process is cold, it is the ideal technology for materials that must not be heated or undergo structural changes. We can cut both metal and stone using the same equipment, which reduces the number of suppliers required for a project involving different materials.
What is the difference between waterjet cutting and laser cutting?
The two technologies address different problems. Laser cutting is faster and more cost-effective for thin to medium-gauge sheet metal with complex geometries and in batch production. Waterjet cutting is the right choice for thick materials, for non-metallic materials such as stone, ceramics and composites, and for parts that cannot tolerate a heat-affected zone. In short, laser cutting offers speed for thin metal, whilst waterjet cutting offers versatility in terms of material and thickness. At TSwaterjet, we offer both and recommend the most suitable option for each part.
Does waterjet cutting alter the properties of the material?
No. The process is entirely cold. Unlike thermal cutting, it does not create a heat-affected zone, does not deform the workpiece and does not alter its structure or hardness. The edges are clean and the workpiece retains its original mechanical properties. This is why waterjet cutting is used on heat-sensitive materials and on workpieces where structural integrity is critical.
Can a water jet cut stone, marble and ceramics?
Yes, and this is one of its main advantages. When used with an abrasive, the water jet cuts natural stone, marble, ceramics and glass with a clean edge, without chipping or heat-induced cracks. It is a common solution for decorative and architectural work, such as panels, façade elements and ornamental details, making it particularly useful for architectural practices and construction firms.
What tolerances and finish can I achieve?
Water jet cutting produces clean, uniform edges, in most cases without the need for further finishing operations. The tolerance depends mainly on the thickness: the thinner the material, the tighter the tolerance; with greater thicknesses, there is a slight taper, which is a natural part of the process. For specific dimensional requirements, please state the required tolerance in your quotation request.
What is the maximum size of the parts?
A área útil de corte é de 6 × 3 m, o que permite trabalhar chapa e placa de grande dimensão numa só peça, sem divisão. O corte é feito em 2D, com duas máquinas FLOW.
What files do I need to send to request a quote?
We accept DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES and PDF files. Once we have received the technical drawing and details of the material, thickness and quantity, we will assess the feasibility and provide a quote on the same working day. All files are treated in strict confidence.
