Robotized waterjet cutting

Abstract

Outlines the background of robotized waterjet cutting and its advantages over traditional punching and manual cutting methods. Discusses the development of the modular cutting box which can be adapted to the customer’s requirements covering the water pressure, the size and speed of the jet, the reduction of sound emissions and a safety zone to protect personnel. Examines the programming of the robot arm and the creation of cutting programs. Concludes that waterjet cutting has enormous potential in the automotive industry.
