Waterjet is usually considered to be the most expensive, typically estimated at about $30/hour.
How much does it cost to get something waterjet cut?
A: Water jet cutting cost per hour is between $15 and $40. The price depends on various factors, including the type of materials, size of the material, material thickness, etc.
How much does a flow Mach 500 cost?
Mach 500 Waterjet Cutting Machine 2M X 2M for Heavy Cutting Applications : $299,000 - 388,700 AUD ($328,900 - 427,570 Inc. GST)
How much does an OMAX waterjet cost?
When you are attempting to win a grant to supplement the cost of a waterjet, which can start as low as $23,950, be sure to have the exact make and model of the waterjet you want to acquire to ensure you write your funding goals and priorities to be as specific as possible.
A typical waterjet cutter will operate between 300 MPa (40,000 psi) 400 MPa (60,000 psi). At 300 MPa the water jet can exit the nozzle at Mach 2 (680 m/s) and at 400 MPa it can have an exit velocity of over Mac 3 (1,021 m/s).
How much does a CNC water jet cost?
CNC waterjet machines require an expensive Ultra High Pressure Intensifier pump, so they are going to range from at least $100,000 to as much as $350,000, depending on size and options. Finally, CNC laser machines are usually the most costly.
How is a water jet made?
Waterjet cutting is simply an accelerated erosion process within a selected material. Highly pressurised water is fired through a ruby or diamond nozzle into a mixing chamber. This pressure creates a vacuum and draws garnet sand into the stream where it is then fired at the object in place for cutting.
What do water jets make?
Materials commonly cut with a water jet include textiles, rubber, foam, plastics, leather, composites, stone, tile, glass, metals, food, paper and much more.
How much does a water jet machine cost?
Pricing for small waterjet cutting systems can start around $60k and complete custom systems can reach into the millions. It all depends on your application. You should also factor delivery and disposal costs into your cost for abrasive.
