This set of equipment is provided to a large glass production company in South America, and he will continue to purchase our equipment in large quantities in the future.

This set of equipment can be described as a waterjet cutting machine for glass cutting (cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine), and its configuration includes the following:

3-axis, cantilever type, the effective cutting area of the cutting table is 1300mm*1300mm, matched with our SL-VI 50HP high-pressure pump.

1.Cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine, this customer is used to cut ordinary glass (that is, colorless glass, transparent glass), we can see the glass cutting process from the video. 

The thickness of this piece of glass is 6mm, and the size is 650mm*480mm. Customers usually process and cut the glass of various household appliances, such as refrigerator glass, range hood glass, gas stove glass, etc. We know that the application of glass in modern appliances is very wide. Of course, water jet cutting machines can also be used to cut organic glass, laminated glass, colored glass, glass ceramics, fresh water glass, etc.

2. Of course, cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine can also cut glass of other thicknesses:

Common thin thickness: 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm;

Medium thickness: 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 19mm;

Thicker specifications: 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm;

Extra thick glass: 50mm and above, mainly used in special industries such as safety glass or thick plate glass for construction.

That is to say, cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine can cut glass with a thickness of 3mm-200mm without any problems.

3. We can see that in the video, we use underwater cutting for cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine. We can understand what are the benefits of underwater cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine?

3.1 Reduce fragments and splashes: The underwater environment can effectively suppress the splashing of glass fragments, improve on-site safety, and reduce the risk of injury to operators.

3.2 Reduce the impact of cutting heat: The cooling effect of water significantly reduces the heat generated during the cutting process, avoids glass deformation, cracks or stress concentration, and ensures cutting quality.

3.3 Improve cutting accuracy: The underwater environment helps to achieve a smoother and more delicate cutting line, improve the accuracy and surface finish of the workpiece.

3.4 Reduce secondary pollution: Water can wash away the debris and dust generated during the cutting process, keep the working area clean, and facilitate subsequent processing.

3.5 Suitable for special occasions: Especially suitable for industrial applications that require high efficiency and high safety.

4. In addition, our cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine has many clever design details to help customers work better, reduce manpower, and improve work efficiency.

4.1 The cutting table is equipped with a glass aluminum frame and clamps

4.2 The sink of the cutting table is equipped with a basket, so that large pieces of glass produced by cutting can be directly dropped into it for recycling

4.3 There are other filtering devices and the sink is funnel-shaped, which can help filter glass debris

5. In addition, the use of abrasives for cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine is also very particular.

Cutting glass can usually use 80 mesh, 100 mesh and 120 mesh, so what is the difference between them?

The cut surface of the glass cut out of 80 mesh is relatively rough, but its cutting speed is the fastest. The cut surface of the glass cut out of 120 mesh is the smoothest.

However, most of the corresponding specifications of abrasives purchased on the market will have more or less impurities, so how to ensure that the corresponding specifications of abrasives are the purest? Because pure abrasives will make the cutting speed, especially the cutting quality, the best, so some customers will filter the abrasives they bought before using them.

In addition, the adjustment of the amount of abrasive sand during cutting is also very important, which also needs to be adjusted according to the thickness of the glass and the cutting effect you want to achieve.

6. There are also some precautions for the water jet high-pressure pump used for cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine.

6.1 Pressure requirements: Make sure that the high-pressure pump can provide at least 300-400 MPa of pressure

6.2 Flow-rate: According to the cutting efficiency requirements, choose a water jet cutting machine with a suitable flow rate to ensure stable cutting quality.

6.3 Pump performance stability: Choose a pump with stable pressure, low vibration and strong durability to ensure that the pressure is stable during the cutting process.

6.4 Filter system equipment: Matching filtering device to prevent impurities from entering the pump and protect the normal operation of the pump.

6.5 Safety protection measures: Equipped with pressure safety valve, automatic exhaust and other safety devices to prevent accidents caused by overpressure.

And our SL-VI 50HP high-pressure pump meets all the above conditions. （PS.: We can customize according to customer requirements, including color.）

7. About the cutting speed of Cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine.

The cutting speed is adjusted and set according to the thickness of the glass cutting and the pressure of the high-pressure pump. Under the same pressure, the greater the thickness of the cutting, the lower the cutting speed will be. Therefore, if we want to get a faster cutting speed, we need a high-pressure pump with higher pressure.

In the end, if Cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine wants to achieve the best effect, all aspects of the data need to be debugged and tested to get the most suitable data for your own cutting.

Of course, you can consult us and we will provide you with advice. If you are interested in cutting glass with waterjet cutting machine, or you want to know about cutting other materials, please contact us.
